Ok i use this Chiplove.9xpro - Thread Thumbnails 2.2.13 - vBulletin.org Forum and to a point it works well but i feel it is limited as i would like to able to assign an icon (thread thumbnail) as thread status per forum basis based on forum ID's. At the moment it only allows a default image, member avatar or and inputted or attached image, all have to be added manually except default and avatar.

Is there any way i can alter the forum display template to add a line of code for it to auto assign images of my choosing as thread status's based on forum id's. Pretty sure i seen this from lynn i think at vb.org but hell and high water i can't find it again or it was a pipe dream.

I would disable and uninstall the above mod if i could do this manually myself, as oncethere set they won't be changed.

Anyways as always thanks in advance for any help, line of code would be good.
 
blinkster If you want your own status icons for a particular forum, you would enter a prefix, or directory, into the Forum Manager where it says "Prefix for Forum Status Images" Then you need to create a new icon for each of the following and either add the prefix to the beginning of the name, or put them in the directory you listed in that box:

forum_link-48.png
forum_new_lock-48.png
forum_new-48.png
forum_old_lock-48.png
forum_old-48.png

You can read up on it in the manual - https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/forum_add_forum

I already done that, i want to set "thread status" icons on a forum id basis and chosen icon. Form icons i already have and prefix doesn't do it either. Closest thing is the mention above mod, it does give the option too Overwrite to Thread Status but only allows for default image.
 
Once you set your prefix did you create the 5 images, and add the prefix to the beginning of the name, or put them in the directory you listed in that box?
 
these icons in image below. What your describing above is to set forum icons etc yes i done this long time and have it sorted its the "thread status icons"

Ahh I get ya now, I dunno if that can be easily done as it uses sprites now, but Fillip H. may know.
 
I asked at vb.com they said it could be done easily enough but hey you know what there like locked the thread told me to go too vb.org tbh every time i ask anything at vb.org replies i get are more making out i am idiot rather than help. Not all super duper coders but with good instruction most of us get by and in my opinion why here is a breath of fresh air. Get adult answers to things.

Wait see if Fillip H. has a simple answer.
 
not to worry, i seen it done on many custom sites and in first post his mod actually changes it just doesn't give the option to do it forum by forum its just side wide :-(
