- open the category manager - edit category - enter css class for icon

Can you explain me better? I mean:

1) If I have understood well do I need to create a new css class for icon? Am i right? If yes, in which file must I put the new css class? How can I set the new css class in the category manager? Where can I find the default css class so that I can modify it?
2) How can I change category icons for Blue Eagle template?

*icons + xml should be in media\kunena\topic_icons\your_custom

A question: in the category manager I haven't a section for the topic icons!!! Which section do you refer to?

Thanks a lot,

Luca

CAN SOMEONE REPLY TO MY QUESTIONS ABOVE, PLEASE? I NEED AN ANSWER FOR EACH OF THEM THAT SHOWS ME A SOLUTION THAT WORKS!!! IT IS INCREDIBILE THAT SUPPORT TEAM OF KUNENA DIDN'T WRITE A MANUAL TO MODIFY CATEGORY'S ICONS AND TOPIC'S ICONS!!! I NEED A GUIDE STEP BY STEP....(in particular for Blue Eagle template, given that all posts in this forum don't speak about it!). THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE!!! p.s I read all the posts but they didn't solve my problems!

It's a old tutorial but it still works with Blue Eagle. The only difference is that the image *_notlogin.gif is no longer needed.

If you are using a Joomla template which supported bootstrap icons, is it even easier.

Here a example with template Protostar and Crypsis.
Enter the name of icon in the category manager such as icon-home, icon-trash etc.. That's all.

Here is a list with this icons.







The same works also with Blue Eagle but it needs a little CSS customization.
Go in backend to "Kunena -> Templats -> mark Blue Eagle -> Edit CSS -> custom.css -> Edit CSS" and enter this codes:

Sorry, but I think you didn't understood my problem! I would like:

a) to create my own icon and associate it to a category: that is to say, for example, that I want to create a .png or jpg icon (for example: heart.png - 32x32 px) and associate it to the category "Love" in my forum (that uses Blue Eagle template);
b) I would like to do the same thing described above for each topic;

I WOULDN'T LIKE TO USE PREDEFINED ICONS OF KUNENA. So what you told me makes no sense! In fact:

a) You told me "Enter the name of icon in the category manager such as icon-home, icon-trash etc..": what does it mean? Is the "name of icon" that you refers to the name of the file of the icon without extension (for example if I have heart.png I should insert "heart" in that field??) ??? If not, how can I associate the name of my icon to its file (eg. "heart" (or I can choose also "love" for the name of the icon) to heart.png)?
b) In the case of "Blue Eagle template" you told me that I must modify the custom.css: but where must I insert the name of the image file of the icon (eg. heart.png)? And where must I put the name of the icon associated to heart.png?
c) How can I do the same thing for the topics of each category? I mean: if I would associate my own icons to topics of a particular category of the forum which steps should I follow? You didn't talk about this in your post...

Thanks a lot.

This is in English language and it works with Blue Eagle.

That's not possible. You can replace the existing topic icons, but these are selectable for topics in all categories.
