A nice simple mod to replace the text 'online' and 'offline' with a corresponding icon.

like so...

Back up all files first!

Find the code in 'forum_posts.asp'...


                'Display if the user is online
                If blnIsUserOnline Then Response.Write(vbCrLf & "   <br />" & strTxtOnlineStatus & ": " & strTxtOnLine2) Else Response.Write(vbCrLf & "      <br />" & strTxtOnlineStatus & ": " & strTxtOffLine)

and replace with...



                'Display if the user is online
                If blnIsUserOnline Then Response.Write(vbCrLf & "   <br />" & strTxtOnlineStatus & ": <img src=""forum_images/" & strTxtOnLine2 & ".gif"" alt=""" & strTxtOnLine2 & """ />") Else Response.Write(vbCrLf & "   <br />" & strTxtOnlineStatus & ": <img src=""forum_images/" & strTxtOffline & ".gif"" alt=""" & strTxtOffline & """ />")

Save and replace old file.

This mod simply inserts the text offline or online in the src of a <img> tag.
For this to function properly the main language file should have 'strTxtOnLine2' set as 'Online' and 'strTxtOffline' set as 'Offline'.

2 icons must be created and dropped into the 'forum_images' folder.
one called 'online.gif' and the other called 'offline.gif'

Also included are 'ALT' tags for usability issues.

Currently this mod only affects the online/offline status in 'forum_posts.asp' i shall add further instructions for other files as and when i have more time Clap

I encourage you to make your own icons but if you wanna use mine then right click and save the following icons.

<---- Offline

<---- Online

it *should* work if you add the code your self.

but might i suggest adding the whole image tag to the Language File?
it might be alot easier to mod. eg

strTxtOffline = "<img src=""forum_images/Offline.gif"" alt=""Offline"" />"

If you add:

align=""absmiddle""

to the <img src= ... /> code, it makes the images line up a little better Wink

Thanks for the mod. Subtle but handy improvement to the online / offline status.
