Sticky [Merged topic] How to create category icons

Under the index of categories can I place a custom avatar for each category? If so how? I cannot find anything on it.

See Category icons in the Wiki.

I've been trying to get this to work also with no luck. I can upload the files to the directory and enter the code, but the icons just don't show up. The original folder disappears for the cateogry whose icon I want to change, but the icon doesn't show up!

I'm sorry but I don't understand "the original folder disappears for the category whose icon I want to change". How does this disappear? What folder are you trying to upload your icons into?

Please visit my forum - givemeapps.com/index.php?option=com_kune...entrypage&Itemid=804

If you look at the category App Talk, the icon has disapeared. This is because I uploaded the three icons (off, on, not logged) and affixed the following code to have the new icon show up:

#Kunena tr#kcat77 td.kcol-category-icon span.kreadforum {
background: url("../../../media/kunena/category_images/mAndroid_9_read.png") no-repeat scroll left center transparent;
}
#Kunena tr#kcat77 td.kcol-category-icon span.kunreadforum {
background: url("../../../media/kunena/category_images/mAndroid_9_unread.png") no-repeat scroll left center transparent;
}
#Kunena tr#kcat77 td.kcol-category-icon span.knotloginforum {
background: url("../../../media/kunena/category_images/mAndroid_9_notlogged.png") no-repeat scroll left center transparent;
}



It's a no go. In other words, its pointing to the icons, and the original icon disappears (good), but the new one doesn't show. I don't know what gives.
