Ok folks.

For all of you who want Category Icons including the "new post", "no new post", "forum closed" capabilities, here is a quick and simple solution provided by Andreas

What this hack does: Instead of the standard forum icons like

, ... you can now have separat status icons for every forum you have. It is that simple

Templates forumhome_forumbit_level_...

search:

Code:

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />

Replace with

Code:

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum$forum[forumid]_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />

then create/name your images like this:

forumID_new.gif, forumID_old.gif,...

Example: forum1_new.gif

If you want to have different icons for subforums on forumhome as well:

In forumhome_subforumbit_nopost and forumhome_subforumbit_post

search for:

Code:

<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/subforum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />

and replace it with:

Code:

<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/subforum$forum[forumid]_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />

Name your images like:

subforumID_old.gif
subforumID_new.gif

Example: subforum22_old.gif

I don't use this hack so I have no screenshots, but If anyone is trying this, it would be cool if you could provide some screenshots.
