TOPIC: Can't get Details Page Icon

Can't get Details Page Icon 27 Jul 2008 20:51 #178

This was originally set up as a link to a details page with an icon. I am now setting it up as a module and can't seem to get the "paper" icon link to show up - only the movie camera link.

I also can't seem to figure out what is driving the order. On one of my studies, the order is:

Title, Date, Teacher

On the other, the order is:

Date, Title, Teacher

Also, continuing to struggle with adjusting the appearance of text - size, getting it to be bold, etc.

Link is here:

Thanks so much!

Hi Dawn - on the details link - the module doesn't have that, instead it works by letting you create a link to the text that leads to the details. On the component listing it is a parameter that you choose from editing the menu item to the listings - both show details link and show pdf link are there.

In terms of bolding, etc, you can use css information in the span tags to turn the text into anything you like. In the span field you can enter something like: style="font-size:1.0em;" this changes the font size. You'll need to find out a little about css styling to help you with this (if you aren't already familiar with it).

In terms of ordering - the default ordering is descending by date. There is a parameter to change that to ascending if you like. Your users can then choose a teacher, book, etc as a filter and sort ascending or descending on the front end listing.

Can you show me an example of where the ordering changes on your site?

I noticed that if you go to this link:
www.questionsaboutchristianity.com/index...amp;view=studieslist

You can see the details links as a paper icon.

You know I have no idea where that link came from - how did you access it? My friend who was helping work on it last night may be working on it.

Thank you,
Dawn

Hi Dawn - it wasn't a link on your site. I just know that if you have the component installed that you can create a link in the url to the component and a view. If you had a menu item already then I could have added &Itemid= and then a number and the component would have showed a listing as you set the component parameters for that menu item.
