Topic: Unique Forum icon status?

First of all.. sorry for my english : (

Second tongue


I want to put a different icon for every forum in the index.. my idea is with css, just adding an unique class or ID to  the TR of the forum.. for that i nedd to get de UNIQUE ID of the forum, but i dont have any idea how to get that.. i imagine something like this..  

<tr id="insertPHPhereToGetTheUniqueID">

and there i can just put something like this in the css 

tr#ID1 { the image }

tr#ID1 .inew { the image with the new status }

in a simply way.. how can i get the ID of a forum, or how can i put differents icons??

thnx for reading and sorry for all the mixed stuff + bad english

this is a image of what i design and want..

Look at the loop in index.php

Isn't that like forum categories? I didn't even think that was possible with pun. I did try it before and had no success.

Oh, it's a trivial mod to add an ID to the tr. 1.3 already has it, actually.

Re: Unique Forum icon status?

Yes, as I said it's a trivial mod. You just have to edit index.php. My point was simply that 1.3 already has this (and thus it is possible).

Re: Unique Forum icon status?

mod = modification
trivial = small, simple, in this case

Re: Unique Forum icon status?

The line of code you need to edit in index.php is this one:

<tr<?php if ($item_status != '') echo ' class="'.$item_status.'"'; ?>>

FIND

<tr<?php if ($item_status != '') echo ' class="'.$item_status.'"'; ?>>

REPLACE WITH

<tr id="forum<?php echo $cur_forum['fid']; ?>"<?php if ($item_status != '') echo ' class="'.$item_status.'"'; ?>>
