Solved Category Icon in kunena 4 [SOLVED]

I received additional information from 810 that was missing in earlier posts in this topic. The additional information he gave me may explain how to implement a two-state category icon in K 4.0. I have not yet tested his advice.

When I have finished my tests, I will post the extra information to assist other members of the community who are as much in the dark as I was.

Until then, please do not close this topic. I am not yet 100% satisfied that this matter is truly "solved".

if there's an altenative solution, i'll wait for it!
thank you very much!!

Nice try, rich, but this tutorial now reads even worse than before.

At the beginning of the Wiki article , it states (in the definition), "Category icons have been a feature of Kunena from the very beginning. These icons serve as a two-state indicator on category indexes to show ..."

The article then goes on to describe how to replace the "default" images or add new .GIF images that operate with the Blue Eagle template. The article then mentions that the information has been updated for K 4.0 ... and that's where I have a problem with your update.

The information in the Wiki does not apply to K 4.0 as far as the Crypsis template is concerned. This vital piece of information is missing from your changes, rich.

This is what rich added:

Changing category icons in K 4.0 is simply a matter of replacing any or all of the files referred to below:

../components/com_kunena/template/blue_eagle/images/icons/folder.png
../components/com_kunena/template/blue_eagle/images/icons/folder_nonew.png
../components/com_kunena/template/blue_eagle/images/icons/folder_sm.png
../components/com_kunena/template/blue_eagle/images/icons/folder_nonew_sm.png

That is not true. If you change these files (and only these files) you will not change the effect if you use the Crypsis template.

Unfortunately, because only the Kunena forum moderators have access to the Wiki, we cannot amend the user documentation or suggest changes to improve it.

The topic creator used blue eagle and only for that is this topic.

@rich: I disagree with your interpretion of the subject.

The subject is "Category icon in Kunena 4". The topic is located in the K 4.0 General Questions category. There is no mention in the subject that the discussion is confined only to the Blue Eagle template. In fact, your colleague 810 has allowed the discussion to extend to all of K 4.0 (which therefore extends to the Crypsis template as well).

For these reasons, and for others too numerous to write here, I disagree with your assessment of the situation. I reaffirm my earlier position. Your recent changes in the Wiki do not make it clear that the information does not apply to all forms of K 4.0. Further, the Wiki provides no information about category icons and how they are controlled by the K 4.0 Category Manager. Sorry for disputing the matter but that's my assessment.

@denisp: I have yet to tested 810's advice. I will let everyone know what I discover.
