You need to create folder called, "picon" wherever you wish to store Rats picons.

Options are generally:

"/picon" - picons are stored on the box itself
"/media/hdd/picon" - picons are stored on mounted hdd
"/media/usb/picon" - picons are stored on mounted usb stick

So to store picons on box then create directory called, "picon" in main/root of your box ("/picon").

Then once you have 5 useful posts you can download Rat's Picon updater and install it on your box.

so if i put a folder on the external memory stick named picon i can drag the picons to that then set the path to it and it will find it an display the picons. And also i have looked for rats picon and updater on here but there are so many updates i not sure which to grab. ( sorry for being a pain but i`m a total newbie when it comes to these boxes )

Yes, create a folder called "picon" on your usb. It should be in location, "/media/usb/" then "picon" so it ends up "/media/usb/picon".

If, you don't have a hdd attached then location could be "/media/hdd/".

Once you have created the picon folder then install rat's picon updater (link in my previous post) and it will automatically find picon folder and install picons there for you.

thanks for all you help ketmp will give it a try after the football

sorry 1 last question which picons do i download there seems to be so many and where do i place the picon updater on the box or on the memory stick in the picon folder

 

[ketmp]

You don't need any existing picons in place so long as folder exists. Rat's picon updater will find picon location and install picons there automatically.

Download Rats picon updater (see my first post in this thread) and FTP this "/tmp" and using telnet session (or something similar) type:

You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.

Restart your box and in plugins menu, you should find Rats picon updater listed. Just run that and it will install picons for you.

You could of just installed

Rats picon updater plugin this would download and install the picons providing there is a picon folder somewhere in the file system of your box.

Did you get any messages after installing plugin via telnet command?

 

[rago]

[ketmp]

Reboot box then FTP rats updater to tmp folder again (overwrite if necessary) but try this telnet command:-

You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.
