This plugin changes the default behavior of bbPress - takes away the words "sticky" and "closed" next to topics and replaces them with small icons - in addition, busy topics and normal topics gain an icon. New "icon sets" can be added by simply creating a sub-directory and uploading the image files, allowing the forum to be easily "skinned" with new icons.

Users of the "support forum" plugin can activate the optional second plugin - the "topic icons/support forum connector" which makes topic icons aware of support forum statuses, and the topic icon plugin will take over the job of displaying icons, allowing forums using the "support forum" plugin to similarly be "skinned" easily.


  1. Initial release, with lots of documentation of how to configure the output on the plugin homepage.

  3. Work good if you change bb-topic-icons folder, which are in bb-topic-icons folder "index" to topic-icons and download only topic-icons with all subfolders and files.

  4. Looks like a bug made its way in - self consistent code on my side but the name of the download changed here on the bbPress.org side of things. I'll release a 0.2 version today that fixes the issue - thanks hpguru for pointing it out!

  8. This looks really nice - very good improvement from the previous plugin. :)

    Could you maybe add tooltip support for the images? It would be quite handy as someone may want to change the images, and user's maybe a little confused as to which icon is which.

    Very nice work! ^^

  9. Okay, I've just tested this, and it seems to work well. I do think, however, that there should be support for the 'Support Forums' plug-in. After activation, it jumbles up all the icons that come with that plug-in. Do you think this could be implemented? All that needs to happen, in effect, is some kind of padding so that it separates the icons so they appear next to each other.

  10. @Michael888 - thanks for the helpful feedback! I've downloaded the "Support Forum" plugin and will work on compatibility and adding the tooltip support. Plan for the tooltip is to use the same description as the 'legend' display, controlled by the same config items. As I think about it, the filenames for the images aren't particularly intuitive right now ... I might tweak those.

  11. Paul, you're welcome. I think the tool tips should be done in 'normal text' (donno what else to call it ;)), ie 'Hot Topic', 'Closed Topic', and 'Sticky Topic'. I've done that for my icons (only the closed and sticky).

    I haven't looked at the code yet, but I'm assuming the icons system works the same way as bbSmilies. Where each one has a folder, and then you specify which 'skin pack' to use.

    If you like, I can create some additional default icons for you. I can only do this, however, when I get my new PC. My current one recently crashed, so I'm having to use Linux Live.

    All in all, this is an awesome plugin, and I would love to contribute in some way. :)

  14. @hpguru - Version 0.3 and above should fix your issue.

    The internals of the plugin have been rewritten in an Object-Oriented style, and the icons are configured to only appear on front, forum, tag and view pages.

    @Michael888 - The icons are clickable and in Version 0.4, CSS styled tooltips have been added.

  16. Paul, your plugin ROCKS! I am very impressed.

  17. @Michael888 (and others that mentioned the "support forum") - version 0.6 of bbTopicIcons will now take over and allow skinning of the "support forum" icons if you enable the optional "support forum connector" plugin that comes with bbTopicIcons. I've included a simple "grey-blox" theme as an example of what can be achieved. Note: the "support forum" plugin must also be active for the support forum "resolved issue" / "not resolved" status icons to be present.

  18. Wow, you really did go the extra mile with this one. Great work - thanks for the updates! :) Really appreciate your efforts with this plugin - I certainly hope it will be the most popular one yet. Many users have been looking for this forever. :)

    Peace, Michael

    There is a minor issue with the support-forum sync.

    when starting a topic in a "support-forum" (default value for starting new topics is "not resolved") and moving this topic to another forum which has no support-forum status, the icon still shows "not resolved" for this topic.

    Kind regards

    Tom
