If it didn't work and you enabled the hook/app and chose the forums and icons correctly you could have the wrong version of the hook/app.

 

Of course there is another way. You could upload your icons to the image foler for that skin and give the icons a matching name to the forum id like forum id 1 would have a corresponding name 1.png or whatever you created the type like jpg, gif or ???

 

Then edit the boardindextemplate adding the image in front of the name something like this

find

<tr class='header hide'>		<th scope='col' class='col_c_icon'>&nbsp;</th>		<th scope='col' class='col_c_forum'>{$this->lang->words['cat_name']}</th>		<th scope='col' class='col_c_stats stats'>{$this->lang->words['stats']}</th>		<if test="canSeeLastInfoHeader:|:$this->memberData['gbw_view_last_info']"><th scope='col' class='col_c_post'>{$this->lang->words['last_post_info']}</th></if>	</tr>	<!-- / CAT HEADER -->	<foreach loop="forums:$_data['forum_data'] as $forum_id => $forum_data">		<if test="forumRedirect:|:$forum_data['redirect_on']">			<tr class='redirect_forum' id='f_{$forum_data['id']}'>				<td class='col_c_icon'>					<img src='{$this->settings['img_url']}/f_redirect.png' />				</td>

to

<tr class='header hide'><th scope='col' class='col_c_icon'>&nbsp;</th><th scope='col' class='col_c_icon'>&nbsp;</th><th scope='col' class='col_c_forum'>{$this->lang->words['cat_name']}</th><th scope='col' class='col_c_stats stats'>{$this->lang->words['stats']}</th><if test="canSeeLastInfoHeader:|:$this->memberData['gbw_view_last_info']"><th scope='col' class='col_c_post'>{$this->lang->words['last_post_info']}</th></if></tr><!-- / CAT HEADER --><foreach loop="forums:$_data['forum_data'] as $forum_id => $forum_data"><if test="forumRedirect:|:$forum_data['redirect_on']"><tr class='redirect_forum' id='f_{$forum_data['id']}'><td class='col_c_icon'><img src='{$this->settings['img_url']}/{$forum_data['id']}.png' /></td><td class='col_c_icon'><img src='{$this->settings['img_url']}/f_redirect.png' /></td>

Remember all skins are not alike so find something similar. Also youu will have to play with the html to get it looking the way you want it.

Are you talking about pips? if so you have to upload them to the correct directory and set it in the Usergroup editor:

and when you have it set up it should show like so on the forum side:

no im talking about icons that appear on each forum category on the left hand side of the forum index

just like webflake

on their main page

thanks for the help!

what is the latest version of forum icons for ip board 3.4??

[Lock Down]

2.01 is latest but some nulled IPB versions of 3.4x had problems with it.

Some skins also support this already so make sure to check the global config file under the skin.If it does, you usually select yes to enable it and name the image after the forum ID.
