[Solved][2.1b2] Need help replacing specific text with icon

Zhaan

Good evening, VF.

So here's my problem today: I want to replace the 'Announcement' and 'Closed' status text with icons (using Font Awesome), but I'm not sure which templates to edit. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

To get things going, put the following in {your-theme}/views/discussions/helper_functions.php:

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit;

if (!function_exists('Tag')):
    function Tag($Discussion, $Column, $Code, $CssClass = FALSE) {
        $Discussion = (object)$Discussion;

        if (is_numeric($Discussion->$Column) && !$Discussion->$Column)
            return '';
        if (!is_numeric($Discussion->$Column) && strcasecmp($Discussion->$Column, $Code) != 0)
            return;

        if (!$CssClass)
            $CssClass = "Tag-$Code";

        $Icons = array(
            'Tag-Closed' => 'foo',
            'Tag-Announcement' => 'bar'
        );

        if (isset($Icons[$CssClass])) $Icon = $Icons[$CssClass];

        return ' <span class="Tag '.$CssClass.'" title="'.htmlspecialchars(T($Code)).'">'.(isset($Icon)) ? '<i class="fa fa-'.$Icon.'"></i>' : T($Code).'</span> ';
    }
endif;

require_once PATH_APPLICATIONS . '/vanilla/views/discussions/helper_functions.php';

Thanks a lot! I'll give it a try.

Turns out my coding knowledge is worse than I thought! What else do I need to do here? :P

I would try and use a definition for 'Announcement' and 'Closed' that has a sprite span.

Hadn't though of that. Will try!

Oh wow, that did work. How brilliant!
