I've dug through the code of this module but I can't for the life of me figure out a way to display the topic's category icon instead of the topic's icon. Anyone have any suggestions?

Interesting question -- I think nobody has never thought about that.

It should be pretty easy to make custom template that displays category icons on topics, but it does need some PHP skills to do that.

Yeah like I say I've opened the file modules/mod_kunenalatest/tmpl/posts_row.php and found the following line:
Code:
<?php elseif ( $this->params->get ( 'sh_topiciconoravatar' ) == 0 ) : ?> <li class="klatest-topicicon"><?php echo $this->getTopicLink ( $this->topic, 'unread', '[K=TOPIC_ICON ]' ) ?></li> <?php endif; ?>

Which seems easy enough to switch over to something like:
Code:
<?php elseif ( $this->params->get ( 'sh_topiciconoravatar' ) == 0 ) : ?> <li class="klatest-topicicon"><?php echo $this->getTopicLink ( $this->topic, 'unread', '[K=CATEGORY_ICON ]' ) ?></li> <?php endif; ?>

But that does nothing. Any suggestions?


Edit:

Well that's weird, in my above to snippets K=TOPIC_ICON is missing from the two quotes in the first and K=CATEGORY_ICON from the second, yet if I go to edit the post they show in the preview as they should....another bug? Or apparently brackets aren't allowed?

I don't think it works as the second variable isn't rendered in that code. Actually now that you did this, I'm not sure if category icon code is available in that view.

Nonetheless, I like the idea and added it into my growing idea list.

So would it not be possible to make the category icon available in that view (sorry but rudimentary PHP skills)?
