Topic icons not showing

Regular Joined: Dec 15, 2008 Posts: 79

I've uploaded new topic icons to the images/topics folder and selected them in topics ACP for the relevant topics.

They show up in Random Headlines block but not on the main homepage. They show listed when you click on Topics in the main nav module.

Do they have to be within a certain size to show up on the main page?

I recently posted some site news under the site news topic but the icon just won't show up on the post I published.

This is on Raven Nuke 2.3 with Ravenice theme.

Please send a link to one of the icons that won't show up and I'll try to load it to http://www.ravennuke.com.

I intentionally didn't put the code for topic icons in ravenice, thats why they don't show up Smile

- I never even noticed. Why did you decide to leave it out?

Hmm... so how can we get the icons to show up? I know a lot of people prefer not to have them, but they're quite important on my site lol

Thanks for replying to original post.

I didn't put them in just to make the theme a little different. I put just a link instead.

if you want to add them in, open up themes/RavenIce/theme.php and find:
(note: this code appears twice, repeat for each instance)

Code:




 <div class="entry">


          <blockquote>

After Add

Code:




<?php


echo '


<a href="modules.php?name=News&amp;new_topic='.$topic.'" title="'.$topictext.'"><img src="'.$tipath.$topicimage.'" border="0" alt="'.$topictext.'" title="'.$topictext.'" align="right" /></a>


';


?>

That code should make the topic image show up on the right with the text wrapping around it.
Let us know how that works Wink
