RSS Icons

Hi Joe,

Is there an easy way to skin the RSS icons found in the blog, event calendar pro and feed manager? I know I can copy my own icon named feed.png to the SiteImages directory but that will be overwritten on upgrades and it will affect all sites, so it really isn't skin-able.

Would it be possible to do this with the theme.skin file or a control/setting in the layout.master?

Thanks,
Joe D.

Re: RSS Icons

Hi Joe,

you can specify the file in user.config by overriding this setting:

the file does need to live in the /Data/SiteImages folder

So it is skinnable but not as skinnable as we might like since it is not controlled by the skin and this change will affect all sites in a multi site installation. But at least you can avoid the upgrade issue by using a custom file name.

Best,

Joe

Hi Joe,

Yeah, I forgot about that .config setting, it should work for now.

I was hoping for something a little more skinnable. Would it be possible to put a class on RSS links that way we can use something like I have below?

a.rsslink img {display: none;}

a.rsslink {background-image: url('feedicon.png') no-repeat 0 0;}

This way, you don't have to go changing every skin that is shipped with mojoPortal but those that want to use a different icon, can do so with out changing site settings.

Thanks,

Joe
