UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6.4 - 6.7 Modifications V6 Mod Ideas How to add message icon to Topics Content Island

Any idea on how to add the Message Icon the user selects for the message when they post a message to the Title and User name links that are built in the Content Islands?

In otherwords.... so it has the icon like the old "Latest Threads" Mod had....

hehehe

This should be pretty easy, actually... the CI generation routines in public_ci_posts get a complete set of metadata for each topic... $topics->{$indie}->[17] is the icon number for the last post... index 4 is the icon for the topic itself.

ahhh ok... I put mine in the css section.... didnt look at the others since I dont intend to use them but...

in the css area I did the following:

Replace
I'm sure there's a "prettier" way but *shrug* that works... Thanks!

Oh... is there a place to find a list of those "variables" for the various items like that icon? Or at least a certain spot in the code that it should be obvious from looking at it?

Thanks

They're quite well-hidden...

Those arrayrefs are from the forum_thread_data files. You can find a map to the indexes / values in ubb_forum.cgi, around the EACHTOPIC foreach.

Eeek... it seems my first adjustment to the code had a minor "problem" with it... I appeared to have stuck it in a part of the code that only applied if it was a reply message. In otherwords 1st post gets no icon because the code only inserted it in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc (*cough ne "00000" should have been obvious coughcough*)

sooooo round 2... undo what I said above... then

ReplaceThis will work for the CSS and HTML it looks like since they seem to be the same. The RSS is different. No idea on that since I dont do RSS stuff...
