Thread Icon

Description

Thread Icon lets your forum members add an icon to each thread. The icons come from the Font Awesome library, so you have many icons to choose from.

What you can do with Thread Icon

  • Thread-specific icons. When a member creates or edits a thread, they can pick an icon from Font Awesome. That icon is then shown next to the thread title.
  • Forum-level control. Choose which forums can use thread icons. If a forum is not selected, its threads will not show icons.
  • Flexible icon position. You can set where the icon appears: before the thread title or after it. You can set one position for all threads globally, or let each thread choose its own position.
  • User group permissions. Control which user groups are allowed to use thread icons. This lets you limit icon use to certain members, such as premium or trusted groups.

Thread Icon is built to fit into XenForo and works with your existing forum setup. Set up the forums and permissions once, and your members can start adding icons right away.

You need XenForo 2.3.0 or later. You do not need any other add-on: version 1.0.3 removed the dependency on the [TC] Component Library add-on that earlier builds had. Install it from the admin control panel, then set it up under Options > D.C Style - Thread Icon.

Two settings have to agree first, and neither is set out of the box. Add the forum to Applicable forums under Options > D.C Style - Thread Icon, and set Can use thread icon to Yes for the member's user group under Groups & permissions. Set that permission on the user group, not in node permissions, and test as a member rather than as an administrator.

Answered by D.C Style ·

Yes. In Options > D.C Style - Thread Icon, select your forums in Applicable forums, holding Ctrl (Cmd on a Mac) to pick more than one. Threads outside those forums cannot have an icon, and the picker does not appear there. The Can use thread icon permission is checked for the member as a whole, so setting it for a single node has no effect.
