Important Topic icon folder changes in K 4.0

Let me see if I have understood you correctly. Let's use the example of a topic "icon pack" called "XBOX".

1) Upload the files and place them in the folder /media/kunena/topic_icons/XBOX

2) Edit the file topic_icons.xml

3) Use the Kunena Category Manager (see the image below):



Is this all that you have to do?

yes, the xbox dir will be visible in the list

Thanks.

As you know, the versions of K 4.0 that have been released to date use the topic icons from K 2.0. I will prepare a topic icon pack for K 3.0 and submit it here (after I have tested it, of course) with instructions on how people can use the K 3.0 topic icons instead of the K 2.0 topic icons that are included with the K 4.0 installation package.

I'm sorry but I cannot get this to work (the default K 4.0 topic icons override all categories)

I am attaching a zip file of the K 3.0 topic icon "package" (obviously, the files need to extracted first). Yes, the new folder name appears in the Kunena Category Manager, but it doesn't seem to work if you select that folder.

I cannot get these new topic icons to work.

The topic icons are those that are shipped with K 4.0.1 (in effect, they are the K 2.0 styled images). I uploaded the files (see my earlier message where you can see the .ZIP file) into the folder /media/kunena/topic_icons/k30

The image below shows that the new "k30" folder can be selected.



Now look at the topics in the Recent Topics view:



Have I got your instructions wrong?

I think, you get a override from "components/com_kunena/template/blue_eagle/images/topicicons". Rename or remove this folder and it should work.

I'm not sure whether the option selectable topic icons for Blue Eagle is available. On my test page it works only with Crypsis.
