Hey guys, well I have another question regarding phpBB3 now 🙂. I was wondering if there is a way where I can have different icons (topic read, topic unread) for EACH board. So let's the Annoucement board I want a picture of a Smiley and for the General Board I want a picture of a ball (just to give you an idea lol), is there a way I can do that?
And also how to make the size bigger?
Thanks

1. Go to your ACP

2. Go to Forums tab

3. Either Edit a Forum or Create a Forum

4. There will be a text box saying Forum Image

5. Upload your image to your phpBB directory using FTP

6. Then on the text box where it's saying Forum Image, you will only type the name of the picture and the picture forum
(imagename.png)

Then click Submit or Save
 
Hey Sniper, thanks for the response.
But I was looking for something different, maybe I didn't specify enough.
What I want is:

What I want is for each of those icons (the ones pointed at), to have different images.
Thanks again!

I'm not sure if that can be done, but what I see some forums do is post an image in their forum description, so you have that sitting next to the icon. From phpBB3 experience, I haven't found a way to do that, and I'm unsure if it can be done.
 
You can have a different imageset, however you can not have a different imageset per forum. It's set globally and can not be changed per forum. As all forum use the same variables to display those, it's impossible to do this per forum without major modifications, hardcoded.

Cheers,
 
It is not easily possible to do. No doubt it can be done with alot of code changes (almost anything is possible) but for all the time and effort it is really that important to have? I say just use 1 set for all forums. Saves alot of time and trouble in the long run.

Yes, but you would have to hardcode it into your coding, which is very annoying as soon as you create a new forum you will have to adjust your coding!
 
Yeah i know hence the trouble in the long run statement i made. Forum software updates, mods and this like that will cause issues aswell at some point so it really is not worth it.
