I've read through a fair few of the "News Images" posts, so it seems I'm not the only one that would lke this.
I would also think that it would enhance the news pages considerably. Unfortunately I'm not a coderotherwise I would tackle it myself.
Basically it would be asthetically more pleasing to have News Category images within the Index view of the news item. This would not only make the page more appealing, but would quickly identify what subject the news item was about.
The Task
1. Add an item to the ACP. This item would be such that the user could create News titles and assciated images
#------------ Name---------------Image location
1---------Call Of Duty II News-----/images/cod2.png
2----------Battlefield II News------ /images/bf2.png
etc etc..
2, Add an option within the designated News forum to add either a drop down box or menu system for the poster to select from. The news forum is already specified??
When they create a new post within the News forum they can select the apporopriate category and the images is already assigned and then displayed.
3, Modify the news template to add a smaller cell to the left hand side of the page, this is where the category image would be displayed.
Similar to the attachment below.
As I said, I'm not sure how hard this would be, and I'm also willing to pay for the changes..
Thoughts?
