Icon for plugin

vrijvlinder

I noticed there is no icon , I made this one for myself, but you can use it if you like

peregrine

Is that the "Hulk" or the "Jolly Green Giant" or the green thumb of a typical gardener .

vrijvlinder

It is original that is all that matterssss !!

I made this little one for you to use if you want the icon next to the likes or as a like button .

to use as an image next to the like amount you would add the image link in the default.php of the Like This plugin.

//you can put the image in all the areas like this //

< i class="icon-thumbs-up" >< img src="/forum/themes/yourtheme/design/images/li_icon.png" >< /i >

//or this is so you know where to add it//

$CountLikes =  count($Likes);
        if($CountLikes)
            $Src .= '< i class="icon-thumbs-up" >< img src="/forum/themes/yourtheme/design/images/li_icon.png" >< /i >' .$CountLikes. sprintf($CountLikes>1?T(' Likes'):T(' Like')).' ';
 
//find this and edit//

$Sender->InformMessage(T('< i class="icon-thumbs-up" >< img src="/forum/themes/yourtheme/design/images/li_icon.png" >< /i >Liked.'));

in the same file ,to make the Like this button an image link other than what there is by default, with no text just like image, find this part and edit as you need :

$QuoteText = T('< button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" >< i class="icon-thumbs-up" >< img src="/forum/themes/yourtheme/design/images/li_icon.png" title="Like This" >< /i >');

then you can add some css to adjust the image by adding as you need:

span.LikeThis a button.btn.btn-primary {
background: none transparent;
border: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
white-space: nowrap;
vertical-align: bottom;
}
body.Vanilla.Discussion.Index .Meta i.icon-thumbs-up img {
position: relative;
top:1px;
}
.Meta i.icon-thumbs-up img {
position: relative;
top: 8px;
}

this is what it would look like

as a starting point, it's a nice idea. but the colors will clash badly with most themes so i dont think i would/will put it into the baseline release.

vrijvlinder

Yea I know , it is easy to change the colors if they want, I made it for the dashboard, which had no icon. Then got a hair up there and wondered how it would look as a button

hbf

turn the yellow into an off-white and i will include it in whatever the next release is

vrijvlinder

@hbf Is this off white enough or you like it whiter?

vrijvlinder

maybe this is better

Here is a collection of facebook like icons, but IMO, your work is more friendly

What's your opinion about a plan, without any background?

vrijvlinder

Yes but those are Facebook property icons, the idea is to use something original without copyright. You can take the icon and use it any way you want

One of my posts missed! ok, I resend it:

Great, So, the source file? Is it a photoshop work?

I think you would like to watch this documentary film

vrijvlinder

yes made in my own computer used photoshop . I also use illustrator but that is in another computer not with me atm. This is a one of a kind original work that you can use anyway you want. You can edit it modify it anyway you can. It is a donation to the community like all my work is.

The only thing you are not allowed to do is sell it because it is free and should stay that way

yes, i like that.

I'll include it in the next release, which will likely be relatively soon as i plan on merging someone else's contributions into the plugin.
