Icons, Skins

Hello,

I believe it would have been fantastic to have the possibility to set our own icons for each categories.
Also have more web 2.0 skins is so important as the current layout looks a little outdated(apart form the form vs new apps/websites coming out.

Will it be possible to have more Ajax in the future? So the updates are done without refresh?

I know this is a lot of work.....sorry.

Thank you,


Ben

Hi Ben,

I'm working on implementing this indeed in future releases. Stay tuned :)

To add more table icons, just save them to the folder "C:\Program Files\AppGini\files\resources\table_icons" and they'll be automatically displayed in the table icons dialog. Please note that the icon(s) should be in PNG format and of dimensions 32x32 pixels.

Hi Ahmad,

Thank you so much for the reply.

Great news!!

Just one question please, you said to add the icons in that folder but how to re-order the icons? I believe your script will take them in order no?

Thank you,

Ben

They'll be listed in the same order as they appear in Windows Explorer, which is typically alphabetical order.

Hi ahmad,

Sorry but I am confused. I cannot work out how to change the icons on the home.php page, I keep seeing a book in all my category tables.

Please help,

Thank you,

Ben

Ok found it, you have a hook for this, could you please tell me if the below example would work? I cannot work out how to space the links when you have more than 1 link

$homeLinks[0] = array(
'url' => 'employee_records_view.php',
'title' => 'Link title 0',
'description' => 'Link text',
'groups' => array('group1', 'group2'), // groups allowed to see this link, use '*' if you want to show the link to all groups
'tileClasses' => '', // optional CSS classes to apply to link block
'textClasses' => '' // optional CSS classes to apply to link description
'icon' => 'path/to/icon' // optional icon to use with the link
);

$homeLinks[1] = array(
'url' => 'training_records_view.php',
'title' => 'Link title 1',
'description' => 'Link text',
'groups' => array('group1', 'group2'), // groups allowed to see this link, use '*' if you want to show the link to all groups
'tileClasses' => '', // optional CSS classes to apply to link block
'textClasses' => '' // optional CSS classes to apply to link description
'icon' => 'path/to/icon' // optional icon to use with the link
);


For both the page and icon paths, do they have to be full http paths? or can I just add the folder/file.png here this way??

Thank you,

Ben

You can specify a path relative the main folder where your application is uploaded.

Hi Ahmed,

I have followed your last post but It is showing a blank page:

<?php


$homeLinks[] = array(
'url' => 'admintwo/reg_view.php',
'title' => 'Customer Details',
'description' => 'Check Customer Details',
'groups' => array('Admins'), // groups allowed to see this link, use '*' if you want to show the link to all groups
'tileClasses' => '', // optional CSS classes to apply to link block
'textClasses' => '' // optional CSS classes to apply to link description
'icon' => 'admintwo/icons/customers.png' // optional icon to use with the link
);


$homeLinks[] = array(
'url' => 'admintwo/admin/pageHome.php',
'title' => 'Admin',
'description' => 'Admin Area',
'groups' => array('Admins'), // groups allowed to see this link, use '*' if you want to show the link to all groups
'tileClasses' => '', // optional CSS classes to apply to link block
'textClasses' => '' // optional CSS classes to apply to link description
'icon' => 'admintwo/icons/admin.png' // optional icon to use with the link
);


I also tried to change the groups by a star * and also by group1 and group 2 . No difference, any idea what I am oing wrong please?

The admintwo folder is where the appgini software is installed.


Thank you,

Ben

Ok I got it.

The code in your template has a missing comma

$homeLinks[] = array(
'url' => 'admintwo/reg_view.php',
'title' => 'Customer Details',
'description' => 'Check Customer Details',
'groups' => array('Admins'), // groups allowed to see this link, use '*' if you want to show the link to all groups
'tileClasses' => '', // optional CSS classes to apply to link block
'textClasses' => '' <-------------------------HERE
'icon' => 'admintwo/icons/customers.png' // optional icon to use with the link
);

You may wat to fix this little thing in the next update:-))

This is what caused the error.

Now my question is, I have managed to get the new button in but how to remove the "admin" the other button I currently have? I thought this hook would take over the other buttons.

Any idea please?

Thank you,

Ben

Sorry to spam but it may help others...

I got it!

You can only show the icons with the normal style and not the Metro style.....

Hope this helps someone..

Tried using $homeLinks[0] = array(... for first array and $homeLinks[1] = array(.... for second link, but home page shows only the first link -$homeLinks[0] = array(...

full code below

Code: Select all

$homeLinks[0] = array(
'url' => 'http://site.com/eitsla/eitsla.php', 
			'title' => 'Dash Board (summery)', 
			'description' => '',
			'groups' => array('*'), // groups allowed to see this link, use '*' if you want to show the link to all groups
			'grid_column_classes' => '', // optional CSS classes to apply to link block. See: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid
			'panel_classes' => '', // optional CSS classes to apply to panel. See: http://getbootstrap.com/components/#panels
			'link_classes' => '', // optional CSS classes to apply to link. See: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#buttons
			'icon' => 'http://techserve.byethost5.com/eitsla/appgini/images/dashboard.ico' // optional icon to use with the link
		);
$homeLinks[1] = array(
'url' => 'http://site.com/eitsla/reportico/eitsla2.php', 
			'title' => 'Dash Board (Detailed)', 
			'description' => '',
			'groups' => array('*'), // groups allowed to see this link, use '*' if you want to show the link to all groups
			'grid_column_classes' => '', // optional CSS classes to apply to link block. See: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid
			'panel_classes' => '', // optional CSS classes to apply to panel. See: http://getbootstrap.com/components/#panels
			'link_classes' => '', // optional CSS classes to apply to link. See: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#buttons
			'icon' => 'http://techserve.byethost5.com/eitsla/appgini/images/dashboard.ico' // optional icon to use with the link
		);
		
$homeLinks[2] = array(
'url' => 'hooks/Xyz.html', 
			'title' => 'XYZ details', 
			'description' => '',
			'groups' => array('*'), // groups allowed to see this link, use '*' if you want to show the link to all groups
			'grid_column_classes' => '', // optional CSS classes to apply to link block. See: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid
			'panel_classes' => '', // optional CSS classes to apply to panel. See: http://getbootstrap.com/components/#panels
			'link_classes' => '', // optional CSS classes to apply to link. See: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#buttons
			'icon' => 'http://techserve.byethost5.com/eitsla/appgini/images/dashboard.ico' // optional icon to use with the link
		);
why second link is not appering? is it a bug? Appgini version is 5.3.638
