Topic: [pBB: 1.1.5] Use category 'images' instead of text.

this Modification is to use images to show the category name instead of the default text.

Installation:

open index.php, find:

<?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_forum['cat_name']) ?>

replace with:

<img src="./img/category_<? echo pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_forum['cid']) ?>.jpg" />

Okay, now to use this, you will need to create images with name category_x.jpg and place them in your PUNBBDIR/img/ folder.

For an example, here is my forum:
http://moseisley.xoopiter.com/cantina/index.php

I didn't post version #, etc, because I don't think the coding will change much for this, so I won't really have to update it. It's really very simple... ;p

Very slow Misery, you must choose small image (file size)

If your people come crazy, you will not need to your mind any more.

Its loading normally... but if you have small images, then it will be quite faster as Zaher Says.

But, if you want to use images instead text on every single forum:
Find line 113 on index.php

<?php echo $icon ?>

And replace them do what is Misery tald.
P.S.
Sorry for my english.

Re: [pBB: 1.1.5] Use category 'images' instead of text.

Chab, my mod changes the CAT icons, not the forum icons, as you can see @ my site, what I am talking about is 'the cantina', 'the holcron', the 'holocade'

etc; not the forumicons.
