Admin icon change

[360fusion]

I have created some new icons for the admin and article section. I use these for some of the sites i have made and thought someone else might get some use out of them too.

The changes are to the font size in the admin section and larger icons created from famfamfam. I have tested this on IE7 and firefox 2.

the changes have been made to phpwcms 1.3.5, i don't know if it will work on other versions.

If anyone has any ways to improve this and would like to make their own changes i would like to hear about them, I'm not that familiar with php or the backend workings of phpwcms but managed to create this hack.

hope someone finds it useful.

The latest files are further down in this post

***please read the read me file on how to install and don't test on a live site first.

Hi Ben,

thanks for sharing this to the community... i will give it a try the week after easter

Would be great, to pack the "original images" into the recovery-file too... for all the NewBees... and me


But... do you have seen my little "modifikation" of the backends horizontal navigation for absolute beginners ?
http://phpwcms-templates.de/nur_mal_zwischendurch.phtml

You need not much german lang, to try it out, because of the images and the codeboxes inside the text... they speak for themselves... i hope

You need 1 minute only... lets say 2 better


some lines to copy inside: .../include/inc_lang/backend/YOUR_LANG_CODE_HERE/lang.inc.php

FIND at the very beginning of the file someting like:

Code: Select all

// phpwcms.php :: ORIGINAL-Version
$BL['be_nav_logout'] = 'LOGOUT';
$BL['be_nav_articles'] = 'ARTICLE';
$BL['be_nav_files'] = 'FILE';
$BL['be_nav_modules'] = 'MODULES';
$BL['be_nav_messages'] = 'COMMUNICATION';
$BL['be_nav_chat'] = 'CHAT';
$BL['be_nav_profile'] = 'PROFIL';
$BL['be_nav_admin'] = 'ADMIN';
$BL['be_nav_discuss'] = 'DISCUSS';

CHANGE TO:

Code: Select all

// phpwcms.php :: PEPEs Version mit Icons vor dem Text
$BL['be_nav_logout']   = '<img src="img/famfamfam/silk_icons_gif/lock_go.gif" alt="" border="0" /> LOGOUT';
$BL['be_nav_articles'] = '<img src="img/famfamfam/silk_icons_gif/layout_edit.gif" alt="" border="0" /> ARTICLE';
$BL['be_nav_files']    = '<img src="img/famfamfam/silk_icons_gif/picture_save.gif" alt="" border="0" /> FILE';
$BL['be_nav_modules']  = '<img src="img/famfamfam/silk_icons_gif/plugin.gif" alt="" border="0" /> MODULES';
$BL['be_nav_messages'] = '<img src="img/famfamfam/silk_icons_gif/phone_sound.gif" alt="" border="0" /> COMMUNICATION';
$BL['be_nav_chat']     = '<img src="img/famfamfam/silk_icons_gif/group.gif" alt="" border="0" /> CHAT';
$BL['be_nav_profile']  = '<img src="img/famfamfam/silk_icons_gif/information.gif" alt="" border="0" /> PROFIL';
$BL['be_nav_admin']    = '<img src="img/famfamfam/silk_icons_gif/user.gif" alt="" border="0" /> ADMIN';
$BL['be_nav_discuss']  = '<img src="img/famfamfam/silk_icons_gif/arrow_in.gif" alt="" border="0" /> DISCUSS';

and
two tiny line here in the ROOT: phpwcms.php

SEARCH FOR:

Code: Select all

HOME

Replace it (2 times inside the code) with:

Code: Select all

<img src="img/famfamfam/silk_icons_gif/house.gif" alt="" border="0" /> HOME

That's it!

Very good for my bad eyes Thx!
The visible_16x16_a0.png must renamed to visible_16x16a_0.png ...

Thanks for the feedback, I have changed the zip folder and added the original button images plus renamed the visable_16_16a_ file.

Your change looks pretty nice too Pepe, If you'd like to add that to my folder and upload as a complete package please feel free.

I have also added some screen grabs of the new backend layout.

Enjoy
Ben
