custom forum icons

On the main Community Page, we would like to have different icons for the different forums. For example, we might have a forum called "Welcome" which should have a smiley-face icon, and a forum called "Notices" with a notice board icon.

 

I have been able to change the icon applied to all forums, but there does not seem to be an option to have forum-specific icons. I've examined the CSS to see if they could be specified that way, but I can't see a way of identifying the inidividual icons for the different boards (they all seem to have the same classes/ids).

 

Can anyone tell me if this is possible and, if so, how it can be done?

  • There is not builtin feature to achieve this. You would need to create a custom component that mimics the current forum and category board lists with the addition of per board icons. You would probably use something as reasonable as the unique board id as name for the image file. Than it should be fairly straight forward.

    Are you planning to develop that custom component yourself? Than we can dig up some examples on that here on Lithosphere.

      Some examples would be great. If it's not too complicated it's probably worthwhile.

       

      Thanks :)
