Support Forum

I had a scour of the changelog and so all I can assume is that my version control is lousy, this is likely because as you know I spend much of my time in a befuddled state. So Andy help me get it working again.

To reiterate.

I have custom group and forum icons

I have the need for iconUnread in group view.

Step1 should be to declare the iconUnread in the array, correct?

I am pretty sure that the previous code worked or I would not have posted it up as a solution.

I really am confused here.

When I use what I think is the correct code then the custom group icons stop working and the iconUnread does not work either.

Here is what I think is the correct code:

<?php

function sp_GroupHeaderIcon($args='') {
    global $spThisGroup;
    $defs = array('tagId'         => 'spGroupHeaderIcon%ID%',
                  'tagClass'     => 'spHeaderIcon',
                  'icon'         => 'sp_GroupIcon.png',
                  'iconUnread'  => 'sp_ForumIcon_new_post.png' ,
                  'echo'        => 1,
                  'get'            => 0,
                  );
    $a = wp_parse_args($args, $defs);
    $a = apply_filters('sph_GroupHeaderIcon_args', $a);
    extract($a, EXTR_SKIP);

    # sanitize before use
    $tagId        = esc_attr($tagId);
    $tagClass    = esc_attr($tagClass);
    $echo        = (int) $echo;
    $get        = (int) $get;

    $tagId = str_ireplace('%ID%', $spThisGroup->group_id, $tagId);

    # Check if a custom icon
       if ($spThisForum->unread) {
        $icon = $iconUnread;
        $icon = SPTHEMEICONSURL.sanitize_file_name($icon);
    }
    else if (!empty($spThisForum->forum_icon)) {
        $icon = SFCUSTOMURL.$spThisForum->forum_icon;
    }
    else {
        $icon = SPTHEMEICONSURL.sanitize_file_name($icon);
    }

    if ($get) return $icon;

then the custom group icons stop working and the iconUnread does not work either.

Whats that if not a description of the problem

To be more specific when in Group View before I latest upgrade the I had the following functionality:

• custom group Icon 
• custom forum icon
• custom iconUnread

When there was a new post in a forum my custom group Icon displayed correctly, and the forum icon changed to the custom iconUnread. If there were no new posts then I would see the custom group icon and custom forum icon. I believe that the code I have posted used to work.

Now what happens is that the custom group icon defaults to the theme default, the custom forum icon still works OK and the iconUnread does not function. I have tried to find a full system backup of the overwritten core file but I use rsync to back up the site and then delete stuff older than a week so I have lost the original file.

Yes it is there in the current custom theme. Furthermore why does the Group icon set as a custom icon in the admin forum editor cease to display and instead sp_GroupIcon.png is displayed? If I revert to the standard sp-group-view-functions.php file as provided with the current release then the custom icon is displayed.

It is most odd and has me utterly flummoxed.

Conrad

Yes but it DOES exist and it is saved on the group edit panel. As I repeatedly keep saying when I use the current default file from the current release version of 5.0 the custom icon displays correctly, that is what I don't understand. Clearly if it did not exist then the custom icon would not display in this case.
