hi, this is a request for my forum, i have both the poll, and the message icon mods installed, what id like to do, is when a user posts a poll, it automatically assigns a poll icon as the icon for that topic, this would make users aware of the fact that it was a poll, and i could remove the extra text from the topic listings.
id be very happy if someone could help, i know its only a little thing, but its these things which really add the final touches to forums.
thankyou in advance,
stuart@36-degrees.co.uk

scroll down further, this was code for something I thought you wanted... I'd delete it but it can be useful for those who do not have the Message Icon Mod installed
Change this area:
forum.asp
=========
<% ' ################### Poll Mod - 1 line ################### %>
<td bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>" valign="center" align="center"><img src='icon_mi_<% =rs("T_MSGICON") %>.gif' height=15 width=15 border=0 hspace=0></td>
<td bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>" valign="center" align="left"><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>"><a href="topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=<% =rs("TOPIC_ID") %>&FORUM_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("FORUM_ID") %>&CAT_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("CAT_ID") %>&Topic_Title=<% =ChkString(left(rs("T_SUBJECT"), 50),"urlpath") %>&Forum_Title=<% =ChkString(Request.QueryString("FORUM_Title"),"urlpath") %>"><% =ChkString(left(rs("T_SUBJECT"), 50),"display") %></a> </font><% if trim(rs("answer1")) <> "" then %><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize-2 %>"> (Poll)</font><% end if %><% if strShowPaging = "1" then TopicPaging() end if%></td>
TO THIS:
<% ' ################### Poll Mod - 1 line ################### %>
<td bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>" valign="center" align="center"><img src='icon_mi_<% =rs("T_MSGICON") %>.gif' height=15 width=15 border=0 hspace=0></td>
<td bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>" valign="center" align="left"><% if trim(rs("answer1")) <> "" then %><img src="pin.gif"><% end if %><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>"><a href="topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=<% =rs("TOPIC_ID") %>&FORUM_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("FORUM_ID") %>&CAT_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("CAT_ID") %>&Topic_Title=<% =ChkString(left(rs("T_SUBJECT"), 50),"urlpath") %>&Forum_Title=<% =ChkString(Request.QueryString("FORUM_Title"),"urlpath") %>"><% =ChkString(left(rs("T_SUBJECT"), 50),"display") %></a> </font><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize-2 %>"> </font><% if strShowPaging = "1" then TopicPaging() end if%></td>
tested and works... it will put a poll icon in front of the topic that is a poll for easy identification.

oh, you want it in the message icon area... I am sure that is easily done... the above code works nicely too, check it out but I will be right back with the code you asked for...

forum.asp
=========
to put the icon in the message icon mod cell, change this:
<% ' ################### Poll Mod - 1 line ################### %>
<td bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>" valign="center" align="center"><img src='icon_mi_<% =rs("T_MSGICON") %>.gif' height=15 width=15 border=0 hspace=0></td>
TO THIS:
<% ' ################### Poll Mod - 1 line ################### %>
<td bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>" valign="center" align="center"><% if trim(rs("answer1")) <> "" then %><img src="pin.gif"> <% else %>
<img src='icon_mi_<% =rs("T_MSGICON") %>.gif' height=15 width=15 border=0 hspace=0><% end if %></td>
good idea, I will implement this myself... :)

cheers dayve, ill implement this later tonight, and i already have as poll icon, but cheers anyway.
I thought this would be a better idea than having the text next to the thread name.

Great Idea!! Thanks for asking StuF and thanks for codeing it Dayve.
BTW Dayve, how do you do that sliding links/menu bar you have on your board? I've seen that other places and dig it.

http://www.dynamicdrive.com has the code and it's really simple to implement. the .js files will go into your inc_top.asp. let me know if you need additional help on this...

hmm, you said you had the Message Icon MOD installed correct? If so you should be able to do a search on this:
<img src='icon_mi_<% =rs("T_MSGICON") %>
I put mine in the Poll Mod area so yours is probably right before this:
<% ' ################### Poll Mod - 1 line ################### %>
That is the area that is edited... shout back at me when you find it... or email me your forum.asp code and I will hook you up.

check your email, I sent something yesterday explaining that the problem is because you don't have the Message Icon mod installed, I checked your forum to confirm. Now you can do 1 of 2 things. Use the first version I posted above which will place an icon immediately before the topic title OR install the Message Icon mod and then make the edit I showed in example 2.
Make sense?? let me know if you need more help...
