How do I show a file-extension related icon on attachments?

rbrahmson

I'd like to show the relevant icon associated with attachments (e.g. .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx) rather than the generic one

Any ideas?

in class.mediamodel.php of Uploader plugin there is this piece of code about line 190

  public static function ThumbnailUrl(&$Media) {
      if (GetValue('ThumbPath', $Media))
         return Gdn_Upload::Url(ltrim(GetValue('ThumbPath', $Media), '/'));

      $Width = GetValue('ImageWidth', $Media);
      $Height = GetValue('ImageHeight', $Media);

      if (!$Width || !$Height) {
         if ($Height = self::ThumbnailHeight())
            SetValue('ThumbHeight', $Media, $Height);
         return '/plugins/FileUpload/images/file.png';
      }

You can see the file.png is default loaded. So you have to make a kind of switch with cases to load different .png files

The big one...

And I'm using the Uploader plugin for attachments

Thanks @jackmaessen - I wrongly assumed that the icon is determined by Vanilla regardless of what is used to upload the attachment... Your quick response redirected me to the right spot. I appreciate your help!
