Question What kind of topic

rich wrote: On your first image it shows the default topic icon "file" and his label has the id="0" (it's the default label when users not select another symbol). But you have changed the label with ID = 2. Therefore you see not the car.

The arrow is pointing not at the file, but at the label '? question'. The ? is not replaced by car.

Second question: You see your customized topic symbols in the editor, if you create the topic in a category, where your customized topic icons are allowed (Category Manager -> Category -> Category Settings -> Topic Icons: Own Icon folder).

Will give that a try, it's very confusing as you have labels that are displayed as labels (? question) and are set in the template (crypsis), but that are triggered as 'topic icons' which are configured not in the template and which show up as category images....
IMO there are to many 'variables' that need to change...

Will give it another shot at trying to 'fix' this
Thanks @rich for your help so far!

Maybe it's a bit confused.

Here the labels from the origina file.

<labels type="qa" width="48" height="48">
<label id="0" name="COM_KUNENA_LABELS_QUESTION" b2="question-sign" b3="question-sign" fa="question-circle" labeltype="primary"/>
<label id="1" name="COM_KUNENA_LABELS_IMPORTANT" b2="notification-circle" b3="exclamation-sign" fa="exclamation-circle" labeltype="primary"/>
<label id="2" name="COM_KUNENA_LABELS_QUESTION" b2="question-sign" b3="question-sign" fa="question-circle" labeltype="primary"/>

As you can see, we have 2x the same label. It shows the "?" on label default and also on label question. Therefore I had changed the labels in my file.
My file:

<labels type="qa" width="48" height="48">
<label id="0" name="COM_KUNENA_LABELS_DISCUSSION" b2="file" b3="file" fa="file" labeltype="discussion"/>
<label id="1" name="COM_KUNENA_LABELS_IMPORTANT" b2="notification-circle" b3="exclamation-sign" fa="exclamation-circle" labeltype="important-label" />
<label id="2" name="COM_KUNENA_LABELS_QUESTION" b2="question-sign" b3="question-sign" fa="question-circle" labeltype="primary"/>

</labels>

It works correctly


If you change the fa image on label id="2", it shows the car symbol on label.

Now you must change also the topic symbol to car and you have for both the car.

But if you want different labels for special categories, that's not possible. This works only with own topic icons.

@ruud
In the original files are the topic icons and labels with IDs 5, 6 and 7 comment out. If you edit this lines, you can use additionally (or instead of other symbols) these icons and labels for your own categories.

Hi Rich,
thanks foryour help. I got it now
sticking to the labels only: only language overrides and color changes.
Not using the topic icons.

Now it fits perfectly my support process :woohoo:

Thanks!
regards,
Ruud.

This is actually what I did on my side. But, if you want to ADD new icons, extra to the existing one, you need to edit somewhere else, which is like HTML, and until now, I have no clue where to add some html lines in the blue_eagle5 template.

There is definately a bug in here (or I am missing something :S

I have adjusted the labels > these work correct now,
I have copied the media/kunena/topic_icons/default directory to media/kunena/topic_icons/och-support
I have changed an icon and I have added (uncommented) an icon in file media/kunena/topic_icons/och-support/topicicons.xml.

I set in the category settings the new directory to och-support
In the kunena configuration I set the 'Selectable Topic Icons' to yes...

when adding a new topic into the category I get the new buttons... so far so good.


But when I moderate a topic in that category I get the default buttons....


So it looks like the moderate buttons are NOT respecting the category topic icons, OR I am still missing a change....

EDIT: I think this is a bug... when changing the /media/kunena/topic_icons/default/topicicons.xml to be the same as media/kunena/topic_icons/och-support/topicicons.xml then in the moderate screen the correct buttons are shown... BUT when updating Kunena I will loose my changes
EDIT2: reported: github.com/Kunena/Kunena-Forum/issues/5523
