First, install the News Categories addon. Then, via the News
Categories page, create a category for each type of
news.
Using this method, the icons you use must all be in the
same directory and must be named (category name).gif where (category
name) is the name of one of the categories you just
created.
After having created and named the icons properly,
edit sub DoNewsHTML in ndisplay.pl. Use something like the following
(customised for your own news style, though):
sub DoNewsHTML {
# DO NOT REMOVE THIS LINE <BeginEdit>
$newshtml = qq~
<p><strong><font color="#ff0000">$newssubject</font>
</strong><small>Posted $newsdate by <a
href="mailto:$newsemail">$newsname</a>
~;
# Begin inserting icon.
if ($newscat) {
$newshtml .= qq~
<img src="$newscat.gif">
~;
}
# End inserting icon.
$newshtml .= qq~
</small><br>
$newstext
</p>
~;
# DO NOT REMOVE THIS LINE <EndEdit>
} |
If
your images are not in the same directory as your news page, edit
the <img> tag above to reflect this.
You can't
associate an icon with the default category.
