XF 1.4 Extending StatusIcons

[big-k]

Hi,

I'm creating a new XF forum to replace my current VB and will eventually port over. One thing I like in VB is the use of icons to indicate various status of the thread in question. So I would like to replace the first avatar with an Icon that depicts unread, thread with replies, hot threads, new threads, closed thread, thread with user posts, etc.

SO far, I've been only able to display unread/read with the following syntax. Question is
1) How do I extend this syntax to accommodate the above conditions?
2) Where do I find a full list of all conditionals?

<xen:if is="{$thread.isNew}">
<img src="path/to/unread/icon" />
<xen:else />
<img src="path/to/read/icon" />
</xen:if>

If you want to see which params are available, add this to the thread_view template:

{xen:helper dump, $thread}

The same approach can be used for any template and available params.

I'm sorry this is confusing. Where do I put that code? the template I'm editing is thread_list_item

How do I write the syntax? No relevant example here : https://xenforo.com/community/resources/conditional-statements.1604/

Sorry I know you're busy, but I'm new to this.

Add that code exactly as shown to the thread_list_item template.

Then refresh the forum.

Hi Brogan,

Here's what I was trying to get to. WHats wrong with this syntax?

<xen:if is="{$thread.isNew}"><img src="new.png">
<xen:elseif is="!{$thread.discussion_open}"><img src="Closed.png">
<xen:elseif is="{$thread.reply_count} > 100"><img src="HOT.png">
<xen:elseif is="{$thread.user_post_count}"><img src="mini-me.png">
<xen:else /><img src="old.png">
</xen:if>

You haven't closed the xen:elseif with a /.

<xen:elseif is="{$something}" />
