Hello Telli,

I was wondering if it was possible to do the following....

We use the standard news module but what we want is after an article has recieved 100 reads or more... that an icon would show next to the article automaticly...?

Any help would be appreciated....

Anyone know how....?

I am sure its something simple maybe as if an article ID has 200 reads display image?

You could make a function and use it in the news index.

function article_icon($count, $max='200') {
return ($count >= $max) ? '<img src="images/200reads.gif" alt="" />' : '';
}

Thank you telli for getting back to me I added the new function to the modules/News/index.php file at the top and then added this to the theme/ we are using

echo article_icon($counter);

Are you entering it in the theme.php or the story_home.html?

Best bet would be to add it in the News/index.php

Hello Telli,

Thanks for replying back... I added it to the News Module /index.php file then I added the article_icon($count) to the story_home.html and it shows the article_icon(###) but no image...

Ok because the story_home.html isnt parsed as php. Add this in the theme article function in the themes/YOURTHEME/theme.php.

$imgico = article_icon($counter);

Ok I got it to work but I cant seem to get the placement ... I would like it to be next or underneath the topic image yet I dont have that crontrol it shows the icon above the title - any ideas how I can accomplish this telli?

I tried using the story_home.html file and switching this

echo article_icon($counter);

Thank you telli that did it, where in buisness !

Awsome!

Thanks again....
