Question How to change Category Icons?

I have Joomla 1.5.22 and Kunena 1.5.12

I had previously changed a few of my category images and wanted to change a few more but cannot find how i change them the last time.

i have read various forum posts that refer to /media/kunena/attachments/legacy/category_images/ but i definitely do not have a KUNENA folder in images and im guessing that because i have done it before that this is the wrong information for me.

please can someone let me know the correct procedure (ive got an image below of what i have done before...

Hi,

yes it is indeed possible.

go to {joomla_root_path)\images\fbfiles\category_images

you should see some images in this folder in the format

2_notlogin.gif
2_off.gif
2_on.gif

the 2_ refers to the forums CATID number, and the above images are used for the Parent Icon,
if these files exist then these are shown other wise you get the Blue/Green folder icon instead.

Hover over the Forum category and look at the url.. CATID is at the end. eg...
index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=9&func=showcat&catid=1

Ideally the Parent icons will be 32x32 but thats really upto you.

Hi 810,

i have seen this type of reply a few times before (tx for this) but it doesnt help me.....

if you read my previous post i mention i DO NOT have a KUNENA folder in the images path you mention (ive attached a screenshot) and i have change the category icons before (as my image in my previous post)- which leads me to believe there is another way of doing this.....

PLEASE HELP - this is frustrating the c^&p out of me.

many tx

ok, the dir is wrong. You must be here adding icons here: {joomla_root_path)\images\fbfiles\category_images
and also please update to 1.5.13 or 1.6.2

810 - you the man!

Thank you very much

Hi
I read all the post now regarding custom icons in the categories with the correct ID number and and and - Yet I still don't get mine to work.
I noticed that the folder path to the icons are almost changing with every Kunena upgrade.

I USE 1.6.3 - Here is my forum: localhost:8888/thombesafari/index.php?op...stcat&Itemid=291

Now I noticed that images and path it is directing it to get the images from are: root/components/com_kunena/template/default/images/icons/folder_nonew.png

Now this is where it is getting my images from: I also tried to put images in the root/media/kunena/category_images but had no luck.

COULD SOME OE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE TO FIX THIS?????
