I see above someone asked about the category names still being visable. Was there anything ever done or a mod that I can install to bring those back? I do really like the idea of associating the images to a category, but having the name there also for those who don't know what images are tied to which category would be awesome.

Nevermind, I figured out a hack to get it to work fine.

Sure thing. All this plugin does is play with the CSS by overwriting class data, so all you need to do is add another entry with a new class name.

file: themes/discussion.php

You should see:


if ($this->Context->Configuration['USE_CATEGORIES']) {
    $DiscussionList .= '
        <li class="DiscussionCategory">
        <span>'.$this->Context->GetDefinition('Category').' </span><a href="'.GetUrl($this->Context->Configuration, 'index.php', '', 'CategoryID', $Discussion->CategoryID).'">'.$Discussion->Category.'</a> 
        </li>
    ';
}

Change it to:


if ($this->Context->Configuration['USE_CATEGORIES']) {
    $DiscussionList .= '
        <li class="DiscussionCategory">
        <span>'.$this->Context->GetDefinition('Category').' </span><a href="'.GetUrl($this->Context->Configuration, 'index.php', '', 'CategoryID', $Discussion->CategoryID).'">'.$Discussion->Category.'</a>
        </li>
        <li class="DiscussionStarted">
        <span>'.$this->Context->GetDefinition('Category').' </span><a href="'.GetUrl($this->Context->Configuration, 'index.php', '', 'CategoryID', $Discussion->CategoryID).'">'.$Discussion->Category.'</a>
        </li>
    ';
}

Of course, I just used DiscussionStarted which is already an existing class, but it works fine for the default theme. You can change it if you like and update the CSS.
