So, how do i change the Thread image on boards?

basically you go into the board, then create thread, then the folder image appears next to the thread, how do i replace that? i want it to be different for each board. here is an image of what i mean


 that folder image i want to change, but i want it to be different for each board.

EDIT; I know i can change it threw theme settings but that image will be used for all the boards, i want it to be different image for each board

Hi deividuskis

This plugin looks like it will do what you want.

Different On/Off Icons for Different Boards

thats for board folder, i was talking about the thread folder image, when you go into the specific board, and make a thread. then the thread also has folder image

[deividuskis]

for example go into my forum, and into the first board "Reef Aquarium Discussion" and then look at the thread i made, it has that folder image, i want to replace that to be different for different board.

It should be possible to change, but the issue you my have is that that folder changes depending on if the topic is locked, is stickied, is an announcement or is anchored. So would you want a different image for all of those for each board or just the standard thread icon?

different images for all of those for each board

Ok. The first thing you will want to do is to get the images uploaded to the theme.

admin > themes > theme manager > click on theme name you wish to edit > images

If you scroll to the bottom of that page, you should see an option to upload images.

After all those are uploaded, you will need to edit the Thread List template.

Admin > themes > layout themes > board > thread list

You will want to replace $[thread.icon] with an if statement that sets out the images for each board. This may get lengthy based on the number of boards you have, so firstly, are any boards going to be using the same set of images?

[deividuskis]

yes but only a few, do i need to change $[thread.icon] to if everywhere it appears in the code or only on the first line?

It should only appear once.  There is a $[thread.icons] one too, but that is different so leave that.


If you have one of the board's images uploaded already, could you post that board's ID, and the image names for the images and i will plug it in to an example of code that you will need to use

ok, i screwed something up :S did something to the code not sure what, when you press onto the board there is no thread, even tho there is

Click the Restore to Default at the top of the template and save, and it should fix that

[deividuskis]

ok, phew got it back up again, now instead of the folder image the word ''if'' appears.

heres the boards page juriniai-akvariumai.boards.net/

the images im going to use for each thread would be the same as boards image

A bit more complex, so I will leave it to Craig.
