Forum Images

Post by cisco007 »

Does anyone know how or where I can find the mod to show icons next to the forum description on forum index? I have seen it on other site, and I was wondering if there was a mod for it, or just some edit. Anyone know?

cisco, it's an option when you set up or edit a forum in admin. You can upload the images to /images on the server for example and add the URL to the field.

sorry, that's not what i meant, there is another option underneath it where you click on it, and it shows you the images while you are still at the edit forum on ACP! I saw it somewhere else before but don't know where!

hmm, not too sure what that one is then. Adding an image there will add it next to the forum icons on the index page.

it's another option under the forum image, you click on "Show Forum Images" and the images shows up for you to choose the image! this is from my friends, board but he says it was a mod someone installed on his board!

Ah I see, I think that was a mod in development on phpbb.com but I can't seem to see it now.

Is that mod just offering an easier way to add pictures compared to adding them by URL as it is default or does it do something totally different?

it's almost the same, the only thing is now you have a preview of the image, and if you click on it it gives you the url so you don't have to remember the url for each image!

I see, thanks for clearing that up. I guess it makes things easier so you can see what you add before.
