PLEASE HELP editing specific icons

Dear Boonex Community,

Forexample when going to groups I see 3 buttons "ad groups" "my groups" "groups home". What is the php file called where I edit the path of those images?

 

Also when going to my account (member.php) I see the "quick links". How do I manually change these icons without changing the bigger icons?


Thank you in advance

if you have firefox get the add on fire bug. It will show you the locations of all the icons. All you need to do is overwrite the icon with one you want. Everyone on here uses firebug.

Sorry but unfortunately your method does not work since firebug only shows the used CSS files and not php/html includes in use. Also the css files are shown as G zip with very long numbers.


I really dont understand why. I need to replace those quick links icons.

You can look here: http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/TutorialHowToFormatImagesAndFonts and here: http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/TutorialHowToWorkWithIconsAndImages to find most images.

Also, when using firebug, don't forget to click the little "show more" triangles to look at the sublevels of code. If you aren't proficient in coding, most times Firefox pops up both images and colors as you mouse-over the code. It can make it easier to find what you are looking for by just running your mouse down the code.

The problem is I know the path of all the images. The problem is just that the quick links use the images from the those titles images resized 16x16. However, I those quick icons to have different images independant from the titles one.

The two links you gave really dont have the answer :(

 If your seeing very long numbers using Fire Bug, your system cache is on.

To edit your site with Fire Bug you need to turn off all cache features, clear the cache and then start your search and changing.

Are those changes in firebug permanent?

 no, look right and you will see css locations and lines, go in cPanel or Dreamweaver or something similar to make your changes permanent.

I can see all CSS files etcetera but I think the community does not understand my problem.


Under account there is a HTML Block called "Quick Links". These links take the icons from the site title icons from the various pages and resize them to 16x16. This is not done through CSS but in the HTML/PHP include.


The problem is I cant find the PHP file where I can manually change the icon for each of those quick links in the html block. Firebug cant debug php files.

Thank you for your help and I hope someone will be able to help me solve the issue, I would be very thankful.

Regards.

 If you want to have separate images for the sub menu icon, and the actions button image, you are in for a long day, and you can look forward to tedious upgrades in the future.

The paths for the icons are stored in the database, and are retrieved using a php function when the image path is needed.  There is no place to separately edit the image path for the action button.  It's just not set up that way.  To do it differently, would take quite a bit of code alteration, which would need to be redone on every single upgrade.  In other words, fuggettboudit.

I suspect that storing the image path in the database was necessary for the page builder/menu builder functionality built into Dolphin.

 Not really.  In three years, this is the most time I've spent thinking about it, and it still doesn't bother me one bit.  There are plenty of other issues with Dolphin that are far more annoying than the icons.  Just wait till you get a little more experience with this platform.  You'll soon find something that will make the icon issue seem even more frivolous than it is.
