hi guys,

any ideas how to change the the edit and add article icon in the article backend?

i really think they are a bit to small.

i want to replace it with a slightly wider (more user-friendly-sized) and more obvious icon. (simple one that says "edit" and "add")

thanx in advance!
/seb

note: i believe i've seen such a request before, several searches got me nowhere though. anyone remembers or knows where it has gone?

I did that. Cant remember the files name and how many it was, but you can use a tool to search inside files to find it what files the icons are used.. thats a easy way to trace code... I use TotalCommander for that. Its free

Hi frold,


btw: Total Commander is not free, it's shareware... ;-)

P.S.: I would also vote for new icons for edit and add...

Hi seb-nl,

here is my solution for solving this.

Image

I haven´t changed to an big ADD, because that´s an unclears view to me.
My new ADD-image looks like the old, but you can select it over a with of 22px just like the new Edit-image.
There are two new button-thumbs: edit_22x11_0.gif and add_22x11.gif
I have modified the file admin.functions.inc.php at /include/inc_lib/.
The modified lines you can find by searching for "KH".

The complete download including the right folders: http://phpwcms.planmatrix.de/forum/back ... button.zip
---------------------
edit_22x11_0.gif
add_22x11.gif
admin.functions.inc.php
admin.functions.inc.php_org (1.26 DEV)
---------------------

Please do a test, you can switch it back by substitute the new admin.functions.inc.php by the old one.

Gruß Knut

thanx guys.

I've managed to change them by searching and replacing in various .php files.

@flip-flop
thanx for the files, i was just finished when i saw your post! I've changed both the icons, so it lines out better.

Hi seb-nl,

changes over various files are very difficult after the next update. :!: :!:
