Because on my forum I use only default.gif forum icon, the thread icons would be more informative for the forum on the latest discussion section. Is this possible?

Replacing inside main_last_discuss_cell.html:

<img src="https://www.minibb.com/forums/img/forum_icons/red-lite.svg" style="width:16px; height:16px" alt="" />

with:

<img src="https://www.minibb.com/forums/img/topic_{$tpcIcon}.gif" style="width:21px;height:21px"
alt="" />

...did not work. My guess is that $tpcIcon needs to be called inside bb_func_ldisc.php. I'm not sure howto or if that's even correct reasoning. Any help would be appreciated.


Kind regards,
Marius

This would be a very custom and core-destructive modification, but still possible.

First modify bb_func_ldisc.php file and add the following fields to the topic selection request:

if($cols=db_simpleSelect(0, $Tt, 'topic_id, topic_title, topic_poster, topic_poster_name, topic_time, forum_id, posts_count, topic_last_post_id, topic_views, topic_last_post_time, topic_last_poster, topic_status, sticky','','','',$orderBy,$viewlastdiscussions)){

also as modify the array below:

$colls[]=array($cols[0], $cols[1], $cols[2], $cols[3], $cols[4], $cols[5], $cols[6], $cols[7], $cols[8], $cols[9], $cols[10], $cols[11], $cols[12]);

Into bb_plugins.php, paste the function below (or merge with the existing function's code):

function parseTopic(){

/* Displaying topic icons in Latest Discussions */

if($GLOBALS['action']==''){
if ($GLOBALS['cols'][11]==1 and $GLOBALS['cols'][12]==1) $tpcIcon='stlock';
elseif ($GLOBALS['cols'][12]==1) $tpcIcon='sticky';
elseif ($GLOBALS['cols'][11]==1) $tpcIcon='locked';
elseif ($GLOBALS['numReplies']<=0) $tpcIcon='empty';
elseif ($GLOBALS['numReplies']>=$GLOBALS['viewmaxreplys']) $tpcIcon='hot';
else $tpcIcon='default';

$GLOBALS['tpcIcon']='topic_'.$tpcIcon.'.gif';

}

/* --Displaying topic icons in Latest Discussions */

}

So in templates/main_lastdiscuss_cell.html you will have:

<img src="https://www.minibb.com/forums/img/{$tpcIcon}" style=......

Wonderful!!! I'm sorry this is core destructive solution, the more grateful I am for this code offer.

I know I have many request, still have one more suggestion, which I'll post under the appropriate forum.

Kind regards and thanks for being generous,

Marius

done like mentioned above, bb_func_ldisc.php gives the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in ...\bb_func_ldisc.php on line 20 ($lPosts=array();)

tested on minibb 2.0.5b, Apache/2.2.3 (Win32), PHP/5.1.6

any ideas?

No ideas... it's your own mistake somewhere in the code. It's not related to the hack.
