custom icons not in /iv-config/

25 May 2011, 05:48

There is some confusion in the blog of version 2.7 about the place where custom icons have to be located.
Mentioned are the folders /iv-config/images/icons/ and /iv-config/icons/, but neither of them will work yet.

The custom icons do work, though, when they are located in /iv-includes/images/icons/.

Furthermore, the text there says:
We have already included a selection of icons in the iv-config/icons/ folder that you can use in your menu as desired.
But this also has to be: /iv-includes/images/icons/.

Anyway, I like this possibility of applying custom made icons!
I used it to have the flag of a country in the folder that's being used for language selection.

Sorry, I will correct the text. It should be only iv-config/images/icons/ -

What do you mean neither of them will work? Make sure you are using latest SWF and that you emptied your cache. Also, you can see that there are many icons in iv-config/images/icons/ already ...

It doesn't work when using language brackets. Example :

[french][logo1.png][/french][english][logo2.png][/english]

It's written [logo1.png] instead of the logo :roll:


And Mjau-mjau, I guess you mean iv-includes, not iv-config :)

Unfortunately, the icons are parsed before languages so you can not currently have different icons for different languages. It would need to be:
Code
[logo1.png][french]french text[/french][english]eng text[/english]

Just to be sure for once and for all :) ... the custom usermade icons should be placed in the same folder as where all the others are?
And this means they should NOT be placed anywhere in /iv-config/
... but in /iv-config/images/icons/

Am I correct?

Yes, exactly, at first we thought to put icons in iv-config folder, but after consideration we decided to use iv-includes/images/icons.

Just a correction to this ... NOT /iv-config/, but /iv-includes/

iv-includes/images/icons/

Oh my... now I'm confusing it up myself :D That's what I meant...
But it's clear for everyone now

... and it works really nice!

EDIT: the text in the blog still mentions the wrong path:
Simply copy any icons you want to use into your iv-config/images/icons/ folder...

In the last version you can do language-sensitive icon replacement like this:
Code
[english][dutch.png]Dutch[/english][dutch][english.png]English[/dutch]

Re: custom icons "challenge"

06 Jul 2011, 03:43

Hello Everyone,

I am having a challenge with my custom menu icons displaying in my Main Gallery Menu. They show up in the Site Menu, but not in the actual Main Gallery Menu. Any ideas?

P.S. I attached the sample icon so you can check it's properties.

Seems like there is a bug with case-sensitivity. Imagevue is trying to load this:
http://gunnerysergeantassociation.yourm ... saicon.png

... whereas it should be loading this:
http://gunnerysergeantassociation.yourm ... SAIcon.png

I will have this fixed asap, but in the meantime, you can fix this by renaming your filenames to lowercase only, and change your reference also in the title ...

Thanks Karl. Works fine with lowercase. Peculiar though, since it worked in the Site Map.
