Forum icons on Search

[Martin_K]

Inspired by Stoker's Top Stats mod [ADDON] Forum images in recent active topics how would I go about adding forum images to forum search, such as 'active topics'.

Many thanks.

[Stoker]

Should be easy.
Do you want them to replace topic type images or do you want to display both?

[Martin_K]

Both please. Topic type image, then forum image. I have forum images of 32*32 px.

[Stoker]

Open search.php
Find:

Code: Select all

$sql = 'SELECT p.*, f.forum_id, f.forum_name

Inline, Add after:

Code: Select all

, f.forum_image

Find:

Code: Select all

$sql_select = 't.*, f.forum_id, f.forum_name

Inline, Add after:

Code: Select all

, f.forum_image

Find:

Code: Select all

'FORUM_TITLE'		=> $row['forum_name'],

Add before:

Code: Select all

'FORUM_IMAGE'		=> $row['forum_image'],

Open styles/prosilver/template/search_results.html
Find:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF searchresults.S_UNREAD_TOPIC --><a href="{searchresults.U_NEWEST_POST}">{NEWEST_POST_IMG}</a> <!-- ENDIF -->

Add before:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF searchresults.FORUM_IMAGE --><span class="forum-image"><img src ="{searchresults.FORUM_IMAGE}" alt="" /></span><!-- ELSE --><span class="forum-image"><img src ="{ROOT_PATH}images/no_image.gif" alt="" /></span><!-- ENDIF -->

Find an image for no_image.gif and upload it to your images folder.

Many Thanks, Stoker, works perfectly, (needs an 'e' removing after ENDIF).

For your info this is what it looks like now:

Very pleased.

[Stoker]

I have it here too

[Martin_K]

Very nice.

Have you set up your no_image.gif yet?

I used your starimg.png from topic [ADDON] Forum images in recent active topics.

Works well if you have nice forum icons.

[Stoker]

I use a smaller version of the no_avatar.gif

[Martin_K]

Will you keep forum images on search? Could be a popular mod.

[Stoker]

No reason the remove it
