The forum icon support is broken in 4.6 - currently if an icon path is
provided in the user interface, it gets ignored anyway!


Changes required in the function  _forum_icon() of forum.module. The
main problem is the hardcoded path to the icons is currently:
$file = "misc/forum-$icon.png";
$output = theme('image', $file);


This is easily fixed by moving the 'misc' path to the variable_get() at
the start of the function.
Then changing the way the $file variable is built up, as below.
$base_path = variable_get('forum_icon_path', 'misc');
...
$file = "$base_path/forum-$icon.png";

I'm having to modify Drupal core installs to fix this bug in
forum.module.
Has it been addressed at all in CVS yet?
Sorry I've not submitted a patch to apply the fix.


The bug still exists in 4.6.1 release.

A missing icon is certainly not critical.

I know I'm going to come off like an idiot... and I'm sorry... but can
someone please quickly explain to me how to install this patch?  I
looked at the forum.module code and I see where the corosponding code
is for the image locations... I'm just not exactly what I'm supposed to
do from there, copy the code in the patch file?
Thanks, sorry again for being a noob at this
