Hi,

Does anyone know and therefore tell me, what the code is to put a Web Feed icon next to the Panel Title in the RSS2 add-on?
Everything I try doesn't seem to work, but I'm rubbish at PHP!

I'd like the Panel to say "Feeds    " I've tried putting in various different code into this line of the default.php:

$Head->AddString("<link rel=\"alternate\" type=\"application/rss+xml\"
href=\"".$FeedUrl."\" title=\"".$Context->GetDefinition("RSS2Feed")."\" />");

I know that this would put the image next to the word RSS in the list, but I thought if I could get it to do that then I might be able to get it to appear in the Panel Header.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply Minisweeper, Unfortunately it didn't work.

Any other suggestions.

Thanks

Nothing at all. I'm using jazzman's green theme, but I tried looking at it in the default theme but still nothing.

I don't think I'm doing anything wrong but heres the code I have after your suggestion:

$FeedText = $Context->GetDefinition("Feeds").' <a href="'.$FeedUrl.'"><img src="http://www.mydomain.co.uk/images/rss.png"></a>';
$Panel->AddList($FeedText, 100);

$Head->AddString("<link rel=\"alternate\" type=\"application/rss+xml\" href=\"".$FeedUrl."\" title=\"".$Context->GetDefinition("RSS2Feed")."\" />");

and this is the original code:

$FeedText = $Context->GetDefinition("Feeds");
$Panel->AddList($FeedText, 100);
$Panel->AddListItem($FeedText,
$Context->GetDefinition("RSS2Feed"),
$FeedUrl);
$Head->AddString("<link rel=\"alternate\" type=\"application/rss+xml\" href=\"".$FeedUrl."\" title=\"".$Context->GetDefinition("RSS2Feed")."\" />");

Have I missed something?

Thanks for your time on this Minisweeper.

I'm still getting no change. :(

I'm cleaning the cache each time and tried it in multiple browsers.

Mark should allow to add attributes to a List. You could that way add a class this list and apply feed logo as background of it.

If you can add the logo to the list item, you edit line 55:
$Panel->AddListItem($FeedText,
$Context->GetDefinition("RSS2Feed"),
$FeedUrl, "", " class=\"RSS2Feed\");

I've just had a thought, could I do the same thing for the feedreader add-on?

I'm looking at the code and I can't figure out how to do it.

I'd really appreciate if someone could just point out where I could put the image tag.

Thanks.

[edit]

Ok, that doesn't seem to work. It does however move the panel to the top page. I have the feedreader panel set at 12, I changed the panel ordering but I don't think that will effect this though.

Nice one, that worked a treat.

Thanks again SirNot. :)

Well the problem with your approach is that there are multiple places within RSS2 and Atom extensions where $Panel->AddList (and, before it, $Context->GetDefinition('Feeds')) is called, so you'd have to go through and change every spot it could add a list to the side panel. In addition, if you also had the Atom extension enabled, you'd have to be sure that all three instances were modified in the same way, otherwise it'd appear under a different list name. Obviously, simply changing the definition is a lot easier.

I believe the reason your idea probably didn't work is because that a) you added in the wrong spot and/or b) you took away the $Panel->AddListItem call.

Ok people, sorry to keep pestering you.

I was doing this all on a mac in safari earlier and all looked lovely. I've just managed to have a look at the newly added icons in IE6 and firefox on mac and PC. In those browsers the icons came out like this:



but on the mac they look like they are supposed too:



I admit that I am using align="right" in the image code that SirNot gave to me, but I couldn't think of a quick way of doing this differently.

How do I go about fixing this problem? Do I wrap the img tags in div's then alter them in the css file?

Thanks again

Well, I can't figure this out at all, I guess another option would be to put the icons on the left hand side instead of on the right.

The RSS Feeds icon is easy to change but I'm finding the Feedreader Icon a bit tricker.

SirNot, where would I put your code for the icon to show up before the Panel title?

But better yet if anyone can get them to stay on the right hand side, that would be better.

Thanks
