Changing the icons in actions

Hi,

I want to change the icon from the thumbs up to a kiss, i have completed all the language issues and changed it to flirt, just need to change the icon now. I have searched the forums but to no success!

Anyone help?

You should look for the location of the thumbs image. Firebug should be able to pinpoint this for you. It should then be a case of overwiting the image with the new one that you want.

tried to install firebug on my mac but couldn't do it!

Try again. I have firebug on my mac and my ubuntu laptop.  It is an indispensable tool for web development!

i have installed it and got it working, i found where i had to put the icon, everything going well, then, i realised you can't save what you have done in firebug and i looked everywhere to see if i could find the path to the css file that need to be changed, couldn't see it anywhere, 

Thanks for your help so far!

You'll find some of the action block icons here: http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/TutorialHowToWorkWithIconsAndImages. However, some modules may have action buttons that aren't listed.

Learn to work with Firebug, it's indispensable for working with Dolphin because there are hundreds of tiny image files and hundreds of css files, not to even mention the various other files that you'll need to find. An image or a bit of code could be anywhere in there, Firebug finds it faster than any other way you'll find.

The CSS should show up to the right of the html (p.s. the html edit is just for trying out edits, you wouldn't want just anyone to be able to firebug your site and change stuff around, that would be a nightmare):

If all else fails and you can't find what you are looking for, download a copy of dolphin and unzip it. You can then use your computer's search features to find it. For example if I'm looking for the subscribe action button on profiles (see attached images), I click inspect element with Firebug and click the expand arrow/triangle icon to find the exact location of the image. If you only need the element then you're done. If you want to edit something else, search for the bit of code that points to it. Say I want to find what php file controls the Subscribe Action itself and I see "oBxDolSubscription.subscribe(0, 'profile', '', 6)" in the code listed by firebug - I simply search in finder for oBxDolSubscription within my Dolphin folder. That pulls up all files that contain the code I'm searching for, in this case it pulls up only one file BxDolSubscription.php. Tada!

Play with firebug along with your dolphin and you'll figure it all out rather quickly, it just takes time.

Thanks, i'll persevere with it! i am having one more problem, when people join my community there name goes grey on the members list, i have to physically activate there profile, but i have.....

sorry it didn't copy properly, all the above are ticked!

automatic profile confirmation without e-mail is possibly the worst thing you could do on a dolphin site. i recomend you untick this option and make sure all of your members confirm by e-mail..... Without it your site will be a spam magnet.

sorted that out! members have to respond to the email to register now, still having problems with.....

1.Couple profiles, on the members tab on the admin control panel they have the members statistics, i have one statistic for single males, one for single females and two for couples??? please see below....

Hi, Thanks for the feedback and i have got my head around firebug, i just can't find the path for the file that your editing, it i could find that then things would be a stroll in the park!!

When I'm viewing source in Firebug, I makes sure to turn OFF caching of css files, it won't show you the name of the css file to edit in Firebug, it will show you the gzip_loader.php instead

I dont think copy to profile photos has ever worked.... maybe someone knows more about this?

if someone could just tell me the file to look in to change the greetings icon i will sort the rest out,

many thanks
