[Tutorial] Give your board3 portal blocks more icons

[Anthies]

This tutorial is based on subsilver2 edits.

These board3 portals' blocks don't contain an icon next to their titles: Recent topics (recent.html), Latest news (news_compact.html), Latest polls (polls.html) and Who is online (whois_online.html). We're going to give them the icon!

1. Navigate to your host's (where you keep your root folder) root/style/YOUR_STYLE/template and open portal/block/recent.html.

2.1 FIND:

Code: Select all

{$C_BLOCK_H_L}

2.2 ADD AFTER:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF $S_BLOCK_ICON --><img src="{T_THEME_PATH}/images/portal/NAME_OF_YOUR_ICON" width="16" height="16" alt="" />&nbsp;<!-- ENDIF --> 

3. FOR EXAMPLE:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF $S_BLOCK_ICON --><img src="{T_THEME_PATH}/images/portal/portal_recent_topics.png" width="16" height="16" alt="" />&nbsp;<!-- ENDIF --> 

Upload your portal's images to root/styles/NAME_OF_YOUR_STYLE/theme/images/portal/.

Open those recent.html, news_compact.html, polls.html and whois_online.html and always find the following code and always add that "ADD AFTER" code after:

Code: Select all

{$C_BLOCK_H_L}

Works like a dream on my board: CLICK TO WATCH

You can change the pixels of your icons (width, height) at anytime (you don't have to resize your icons via Paint or something else, this feature does it for you). Just widen or lengthen (you know what I mean, make it larger) them.
