Downloads Category Icon

Hi, I've recently added this feature to my forum and I'd like to share it with you.

You can see the demo here

What does this mod does?
This mod allows you to add icons near download categories (in pafiledb downloads section).
It can be configured through ACP in ACP -> Downloads -> Manage categories (when adding or editing a category).

Installation instructions

Thanx (I know, the general idea is to add an icon for sub category files... Perhaps its helpful just to explain this though, along with how the admin panel works)

stoker Joined: July 2008 Posts: 1	Re: Downloads Category Icon Hello I was wondering how You made the Code box with download option? Can it be used on an original phpbb3 board?

Mighty Gorgon Luca Libralato Joined: August 2006 Posts: 7192 Location: Borgo San Michele	Re: Downloads Category Icon Try to search @ phpbb.com to see if someone released some BBCodes Box with this feature. This board is still based on phpBB 2 and the BBCodes are totally different from standard phpBB both 2 and 3. ____________ Luca SEARCH is the quickest way to get support.
