What am i missing ? When posting an article on main page how do i get the correct image to show up?

Right now the properties of the image is /themes/Halloween/images/topics/
Is the a file I need to edit to show the corresponding pic or to even be able to select it? I wouldve thought there would be a spot under topics to slect the appropriate image.

Before you can use the topics you need to set them up. In your admin page select topics set up all the ones you want. THe dropdown list will show any topic image in this folder root/images/topics/ the ones in the halloween theme can be uploaded there too just remember the ones in that folder are stock and will show up whenever you are using a theme that doesnt have its own.

Yeah i got it. Thats originally what i was doing but I kept getting the dreaded red X :p Mind if i ask how youre Download , weblinks , and topic images change w each theme? Ive tried messing around with it a bit but havent had much luck as of yet.

just making sure you saw this :p

Its a function set up in the theme.php the modules/Downloads/index.php and the modules/Web_links/index.php. Thier is alot of tweaking to do it with older versions of nuke. Nuke 6.9 has it built in. But only some theme makers implement it. If your running 6.9 and it isnt working on newer themes then chances are its not implemented into the theme. If you wanted to made sure you have it just check the above files listed for a function like this:

$ThemeSel = get_theme();
if (file_exists("themes/$ThemeSel/images/topics/$topicimage")) {
$t_image = "themes/$ThemeSel/images/topics/$topicimage";
} else {
$t_image = "$tipath$topicimage";
}

Actually Im running 6.8 I believe. would you suggest upgrading for the added feature? sounds easier to do in 6.9 assuming i dont KISS something up :p

I looked at your site and it is working fine for the theme up there. So it must be in Nuke 6.8 as well so you just need to edit the theme.php for each theme you want to use. If you want to add more topics to your site you have to add the image into the nukeroot/images/topics/ folder then when you load a theme that uses this it will look into the theme like this [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] and if the theme didnt have that topics folder it would revert to the nukeroot/images/topics/ folder and use the one thier hope that helps.

Alright Ive got the topics directory set up with the images to be used for each theme. What exactly an im looking for to edit?

just a bump :p

You want to edit the story function in each theme.php so that it looks in the theme for the image. This is what it should look like for the two story functions:

/************************************************************/
/* Function themeindex() */
/* */
/* This function format the stories on the Homepage */
/************************************************************/

function themeindex ($aid, $informant, $time, $title, $counter, $topic, $thetext, $notes, $morelink, $topicname, $topicimage, $topictext) {
global $anonymous, $tipath;

$ThemeSel = get_theme();
if (file_exists("themes/$ThemeSel/images/topics/$topicimage")) {
$t_image = "themes/$ThemeSel/images/topics/$topicimage";
} else {
$t_image = "$tipath$topicimage";
}
if ($notes != "") {
$notes = " "._NOTE." $notes\n";
} else {
$notes = "";
}
if ("$aid" == "$informant") {
$content = "$thetext$notes\n";
} else {
if($informant != "") {
$content = "<a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=userinfo&username=$informant\">$informant</a> ";
} else {
$content = "$anonymous ";
}
$content .= ""._WRITES." \"$thetext\"$notes\n";
}
//Code Changed - just show posted by
$posted1 = get_author($aid);
$posted = " $time $timezone";
//End Code Change

$tmpl_file = "themes/YOUR_THEME/story_home.html";
$thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file));
$thefile = addslashes($thefile);
$thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";
eval($thefile);
print $r_file;
}

/************************************************************/

/* This function format the stories on the story page, when */
/* you click on that "Read More..." link in the home */
/************************************************************/

function themearticle ($aid, $informant, $datetime, $title, $thetext, $topic, $topicname, $topicimage, $topictext) {
global $admin, $sid, $tipath;
$ThemeSel = get_theme();
if (file_exists("themes/$ThemeSel/images/topics/$topicimage")) {
$t_image = "themes/$ThemeSel/images/topics/$topicimage";
} else {
$t_image = "$tipath$topicimage";
}
$posted = ""._POSTEDON." $datetime "._BY." ";
$posted .= get_author($aid);

} else {
