Issue: Legend for wiki icons is missing

We actually left these out intentionally, because we didn't want to add clutter to the forum view. It's not really a bug. I've changed this to a request. Aside from the forum icons on forum home, I doubt a thread icon legend will be added until the content type rewrite, because of the redesign of the "forum" view involved with that.

Yeah. Its a small thing. Cluttering is not the way to go. But the thread icon legend is superfluous in wiki forums. So it would not clutter if that would be gone. The thread icons legend in wiki forums could easily be replaced by a wiki icon legend with a conditional.

Something like:
Not a major issue, but avoids a little confusion.

Moving this to a later Alpha as it pertains more to the redesign which is not included in Alpha 1.

From what I can tell XenForo doesn't have an icon-legend to speak of, so figuring a way to style it in that platform should be interesting.

As for the legend, given the significant number of icons that exist, the legend should be dynamic, and show only icons that appear on the current page. However, it should always show the variations of the icons regardless if they appear (so you know there are no new posts, for example).

In order for this to work, make a new vw_Factory_Icon and refactor vw_Factory_ListItem among others to use it. Take notes in the new ::get_icon method and have a ::get_legend which would compile a list of all the icons that were gotten, which we can then turn into a legend block.

Legend added for vBulletin 4 as a sidebar block. Placing it at the bottom of the page made it quite useless for long wiki pages such as areas with many discussions and comments.

Still need to add a non-sidebar version for pages without sidebar support, such as the subscriptions page and the forum home page, where a forum integration might appear.

Then still need to add support for vB3 (which has no vb:each) and XF (direct port).

Legend now appears on forum-home in vB4 if a forum integration appears. This required new icons which have been added to the GDK in the next release.

Templates ported for vB3 and XenForo. Due to missing template hooks, the forum-home integration will not trigger a legend on that page under vBulletin 3. Since XenForo doesn't use an icon legend on forum-home, likewise, a forum-home integration will not trigger a legend on that page either.

Still need to include the non-sidebar legend on the subscriptions page. In this case it would be possible to include cross-platform.

Marked as Implemented in the next release.

This was originally requested for version 3.0.1.
