Sorry about that - I am amazed you are using it!
Once we get to the 'gold' release (soon I really hope) then we will nail these down of course.

Ah understood.
The current position is that if you use a custom icon then that will be used regardless of state. The problem here is that to do this this with unique, custom icons (and most users will define a different icon for each forum) is going to require a second custom icon, a second field on the forum table and select list and ui on the create/edit forum admin panels. All of which were out of scope for such a late change to what is an almost released version.
That is planned however.

So using a custom icon for the forum prevents using separate read/unread icons for the group? Just making sure I understand.

So because I have a custom Icon the following will not work in Group view and I will have to modify the core again after the svn up last night?

# Start the Forum Loop
                # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
                if (sp_has_forums()) : while (sp_loop_forums()) : sp_the_forum();

                    # Start the 'forum' section
                    # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
                    sp_SectionStart('tagClass=spGroupForumSection', 'forum');

                        # Column 1 of the forum row
                        # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
                        sp_ColumnStart('tagClass=spColumnSection spLeft spColumnGuideR&width=6%&height=55px');
                            sp_ForumIndexIcon('tagClass=spRowIcon spLeft&iconUnread=sp_ForumIcon_new_post.png');
                        sp_ColumnEnd();

                        # Column 2 of the forum row

Ah yes if you are using custom icons. That will probably follow in 5.1

It's back in sp-group-view-functions.php now.

This works for me.

 

    if ($spThisForum->unread) {
        $icon = $iconUnread;
        $icon = SPTHEMEICONS.sanitize_file_name($icon);
    }
    else if (!empty($spThisForum->forum_icon)) {
        $icon = SFCUSTOMURL.$spThisForum->forum_icon;
    }
    else {
        $icon = SPTHEMEICONS.sanitize_file_name($icon);
    }
    
    if ($get) {
        return $icon;

Does anyone have some code that allows the use of separate read/unread icons for the group when using a custom icon? My code above no longer works. I have changed SPTHEMEICONs to SPTHEMEICONSUR.

I know that it needs to be done in sp-group-view-functions. I have declared iconUnread on line 30 in the array immediately after icon is declared.

Once I get this working I will be uprading my live site to SP5.0

Patience dear boy - I will get to it. I am all alone and can only type with one hand (my inferior left at that!)

Yes but my code was working fine until this latest version. Something has changed methinks. It's driving me up the wall quite frankly frown
