How To add new gifs?

[MartinTruckenbrodt]

Hello,
how to add new gifs to phpBB3?

I've made a entry at the imageset.cfg . IMO I've done it with the correct syntax.
But the image is not displayed.

What could be the problem?
Which steps are necessary too?

Hello,
I saw that I have to have an entry in the phpbb_styles_imageset table and to activate the image in the ACP under STYLES -> Imagesets after refreshing template and theme.

But it is still not running.

IMO it seems that this is not finished in phpBB3 beta1.

Please try it yourself and give me a feedback.

Martin,

Did you ever get this working?

I am looking at the same at the moment. I so far think you have to create the DB entry. Then decide if you want it to be under an existing imageset category or a new one.

In language/en/acp/styles.php you add the new category

Code: Select all

IMG_CAT_XXXXX'		=> 'Your XXXXX image category',

Then in includes/acp/acp_styles/php where imageset_keys is defined

Code: Select all

			'xxxxx'		=> array(
				'xxxxx_image',
			),

You will then need to have xxxxx_image in the table you mentioned.

I am only posting as I have been looking at it at the moment. I may be wrong and there may be functions defined to help with all this, but so far I have no found them and I think the above will work. So take all this is just a helpful pointer and not bible.

any new ideas about this?

Hello,
look at the css files too.

thanks for your reply.

i did so far:
1.) uploaded an button image (png) to the folder on FTP
2.) insert into css:

Code: Select all

/* Big button images */
.bookmark-icon, .bookmark-icon a			{ background: transparent none 0 0 no-repeat; }

Code: Select all

/* Set big button dimensions */
.buttons div.bookmark-icon		{ width: {IMG_BUTTON_BOOKMARK_WIDTH}px; height: {IMG_BUTTON_BOOKMARK_HEIGHT}px; }

Code: Select all

/* Icon images ---------------------------------------- */
..... .rtl  .icon-bookmark, ..... {
	background-position: 100% 50%;
	padding: 1px 17px 0 0;
}

Code: Select all

Colours and backgrounds for buttons.css
.bookmark-icon, .bookmark-icon a
{ background-image: url("{IMG_BUTTON_BOOKMARK}") ;}

3.) to inset the Button, i wrote this into the template:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF U_BOOKMARK_TOPIC -->
<div class="bookmark-icon"><a href="{U_BOOKMARK_TOPIC}"><span>{L_BOOKMARK_TOPIC}</span></a></div>
<!-- ENDIF -->

4.) imageset.cfg (within laguage folder):

Code: Select all

img_button_bookmark = button_mark_new.png*25*87

but firebug will show an empty definition within the CSS:

Code: Select all

.buttons div.bookmark-icon {
}
.buttons div {
background-position:0pt 100%;
float:left;
margin:0pt 5px 0pt 0pt;
}
.bookmark-icon, .bookmark-icon a {
background-image:url({IMG_BUTTON_BOOKMARK});
}
.bookmark-icon, .bookmark-icon a {
background:transparent none no-repeat scroll 0pt;
}
* {
margin:0pt;
padding:0pt;
}

as you can see, the
"background-image:url({IMG_BUTTON_BOOKMARK});"
indicates, that the real image url is not pasted into the css code.
And the last (top) declaration contains nothing.

so there must be something missing. what did i forgot?

or is it easier to use one of the user defined images within the ACP? i can already set within the ACP, upload via FTp but how do i call those user difined buttons within the templates or CSS code? maybe "{USER1}" etc.?

many thanks for your help and tips!

You will need to add a new entry to includes/acp/acp_styles.php, language/en/acp/styles.php & also look at adding to phpbb_styles_imagetset_data.

Think of the top of my head those are the bits you have missed. Its not easy to add a new image anymore.

thank you - i will try this!

or is it easier to user one of the custom defineable buttons which also can be set within the ACP?

[poyntesm]

In my mind no. What if another MOD wants to use user defined 1 then you would need to update its template code.
