Question How to change category icons on K1.6.x

sozzled wrote: Walter: As I said earlier, if we are talking about category icons, you can replace the standard category icons by replacing the two files folder_nonew.png and folder.png in the folder ../components/com_kunena/template/default/images/icons

You can add other files to this folder, if you like. How you use them, after you upload them to you site, is your business.

thanks for your help.
I don't talk to have a new icon for a specific and one category. I would like to add different icons which are choosing by the user when someone open a new post.
Now there are 7 icons... I need to have more.
I tried to add (via FTP) someone but I cannot see them on the page.

I'M really sorry if I didn't be clear.

As I wrote above, this topic is about category icons. This topic is not about topic icons. You are changing the subject and your question will confuse others. There are other topics that show you how to add topic icons. Please search for "topic icons" for the answers.

Hello,

I have two questions about category icons (1_notlogin.gif, 1_on.gif,_ 1_off.gif...)...
Is there a way to use png images instead of gif ones?
For wich state are the icons : on=new mssage?, off=no new? notlogin=???).

Thanks a lot.

G'day, athahana, and welcome to Kunena.

For the second question you asked, the answers are given in this topic.

For the first question that you asked, you can change the image from .GIF to .PNG but you need to modify the Kunena source code to achieve that. I'm sorry, I don't know specifically what line(s) of code you need to change. Probably a good idea to use .PNG files because of better colour representation and less artifacting but, I'm sorry, I don't know the reasons why the project team decided to use .GIF instead.

Hi,

I would like to ask..

I tried to change icon for subcategories and categories. But it's affected all categories and subcategories.

What i wish to do is, i wanna have different icon for each category and subcategory.

For example: Icon are based on the title of category.


Thank you.

The answer to your question is given in msg #2 of this topic. For each category, you need three images. I hope this helps
