Custom Icons

The Forum ☛ Components ☛ Custom Icons administration panel is where you can define up to three custom icons to display on your Forum.

Custom Icons

There is an allowance for up to three custom icons to be placed on the Login Bar (to the left of the Login/Logout icon). These can be used to set links to items outside of the forum such as, for example, an FAQ, Help, Contact or T & C Page.

Display Text

Enter here the text that displays within the link. If your icon is of a type that incorporates the text then leave this field empty.

Target URL

Enter the full URL needed for the target page of the link.

Custom Icon

Enter here the name of the icon that you wish to be displayed. Custom icons MUST be placed in a folder called ‘custom’ beneath the folder that contains the icon set you are using for your forum display. The Default icon set has this folder already defined and a small group of example icons. Note that only the full file name of the custom icon should be entered. The system will look for it in the appropriate ‘custom’ folder.

Custom Icon Uploads

If you have wish to use custom icons with your group, forum or custom icon slots, you can upload the custom icons here. Click on the browse button, navigate to the custom icon you wish to upload and then click upload. Once uploaded, the custom icon will be displayed next to the filename. The location that custom icons are uploaded to is determined on the admin configuration panel.

Custom Icons List

This shows the current contents of the custom icons upload folder where icons are stored. If you wish to remove one then click on the remove icon in the far right column. The custom icon will be removed from your server and any group, forum or custom icon slot that used the custom icon will no longer display.
