I hath come back to... DMC Forums!

[Carlos]

So, I registered years ago, when this DMC community was on vB3. I haven't been posting much, but I am a huge Devil May Cry fan.

And then when I came back, I came to a surprise seeing the site is now on xenForo. Why surprising? I now own more than one gaming website, and a few of them are xenForo-powered. I am glad this site changed over because xenForo is a fantastic software. On top of that, I LOVED what you guys did here. I mean forum categories now have their own unique image of DMC. I wanna know how to do that, so I can implement it on my site.

Well, see ya around!

Hi mate! Welcome back. Congrats on moving to XenForo! There are probably one or two plugins out there that'll let you specify a unique image per forum 'node', but I've found it easier to just manually insert the necessary HTML code into each forum's 'description' field, within the Admin CP; something like this would do the trick:

<div class="float:right;margin:0 0 10px 10px;position:relative">
<img src="http://yourwebsite.com/image.png" />
</div>
 
[forum description goes here]

Hmm... I didn't know that the descriptions allow HTML!

Nice, and it doesn't look like it'll be hindered by xenforo upgrades or future upgrades! Thanks!

Okay, so I got around to implementing that HTML code you've provided, and it shows the image on the left, rather than the right where I wanted it to be. I went into ACP and tried to disable the hovering descriptions overlay, and it still displays it there.

As frustrating as it was, I'm like "Oh well, at least it works." :/
