Ficons 2.0 [DEPRECATED]

[DAMINK]

Damn it appears everyone has success with this except me... I guess i am going to have to get mine going tonight.
Side effect of having a man behind the wheel who knows very little. (referring to my admin skills with mybb)

I can help you set it up if you need it.

You're having a problem?

It looks like the column is there. Are you having issues uploading files?

What's up?

EDIT: Ugh..you're shit is working 100%..fyi adding ficons to categories won't display. They are forum forums only. Categories don't get ficons. I know the space exists to upload them but unless you move the category or make it a forum it won't display.

Got it.

Code:

<tr>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" align="center" valign="top" width="1"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/{$lightbulb['folder']}.gif" alt="{$lightbulb['altonoff']}" title="{$lightbulb['altonoff']}" class="ajax_mark_read" id="mark_read_{$forum['fid']}" /></td>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" valign="top" colspan="4">
<strong><a href="{$forum_url}">{$forum['name']}</a></strong>{$forum_viewers_text}<div class="smalltext">{$forum['description']}{$subforums}</div>
</td>
</tr>

And to add the Ficons column, use this:

Code:

<tr>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" align="center" valign="top" width="1"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/{$lightbulb['folder']}.gif" alt="{$lightbulb['altonoff']}" title="{$lightbulb['altonoff']}" class="ajax_mark_read" id="mark_read_{$forum['fid']}" /></td>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" align="center" valign="top" width="1"><img src="uploads/ficons/{$forum['ficon']}" alt="{$forum['description']}" /></td>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" valign="top" colspan="4">
<strong><a href="{$forum_url}">{$forum['name']}</a></strong>{$forum_viewers_text}<div class="smalltext">{$forum['description']}{$subforums}</div>
</td>
</tr>

I have it on my site and it looks SO much better to not have those stupid dashes to show it's a category where the post, thread and last column were, and to have the description go right across to the side.

I agree..it should be standard. I never use them because layout is so crap. Why would they use it and know it looks better and not edit the standard template? That's just odd.

I feel this belongs on the ideas section. It should at least be an option.

Sorry for the late reply. Different sides of the globe and work makes it hard to be on when others are.

Anyway i did not know that Labrocca. And thankyou for looking into it for me.
It is working perfect. You are correct. It was my lack of understanding. I only tested it on a Category....

Cheers.

[Fakher]

but i cant see Ficons on you forums .........

[DAMINK]

Nor could you at present Fakher. The hidden forums have the icons.

There you go i added one lolol....

Well glad it's sorted out and it appears this plugin is now solid without bugs. YEAH!
