Howto show small icons for the document actions

/Plone/portal_view_customizations -> zope.interface.interface-plone.abovecontenttitle.documentactions [Customize]

<div class="visualClear"><!-- --></div>
<div i18n:domain="plone"
     class="documentActions">
    <tal:docactions tal:condition="view/actions">

    <h5 class="hiddenStructure" i18n:translate="heading_document_actions">Document Actions</h5>

    <ul tal:define="normalizeString nocall: context/@@plone/normalizeString">
    <tal:actions repeat="daction view/actions">
        <li tal:attributes="id python:'document-action-' + normalizeString(daction['id'])">

Here is the modified part:

            <a href=""
               tal:attributes="href daction/url;
                               title daction/description">
                   <img tal:condition="daction/icon" tal:attributes="src daction/icon; alt daction/title; title daction/title"/>
                   <tal:action tal:condition="not:daction/icon" tal:content="daction/title" i18n:translate="">
                    Action name
                    </tal:action>
            </a>

 

        </li>
    </tal:actions>

    </ul>
    </tal:docactions>

    <div tal:replace="structure provider:plone.documentactions" />

</div>

Now you can add Icons to <instance>/portal_actionicons

Works as a charm! Thank you.

To spare other people's troubles, please consider adding an explanation the last step ("...add icons to ...").

I was wondering if a similar technique can be used to place icons at the top, to restore Plone 2 default behavior.
Please advise.

Thanks a gain.

Error in event view

Posted by Silvio Tomatis at Nov 07, 2007 10:51
Thank you for this snippet.
I had a bit of trouble with an Event page where two document actions (icalendar and vcalendar) show up.
They don't seem to have an 'icon' attribute, and throw a TraversalError when accessed in tales daction/icon.
So I had to change the conditions above to:
tal:condition="python: daction.get('icon')"
and
tal:condition="python: not daction.get('icon')"

How to replace the calendar (ical and vcal) to icons in Plone 3.0.2. They just appear when the object is an event.

I have the same problem.
How can I solve the problem of icons of the iCalendar and vCalendar?

documentation update

Thanks, this was very helpful. To use the icons already available in your Plone 3 site, instead of the ... add icons to ... section (we'll use the 'sendto' action in this example):

1. go to /portal_actions/document_actions/sendto
2. for the 'Icon (Expression)' field, enter 'string:$portal_url/mail_icon.gif'
3. save the changes

upon refreshing your page view you should now see the the mail icon instead of the 'Send this' text.

Something missing?

Posted by Edgar Smolow at May 13, 2008 10:07
I went to this page:
CMF Action at /portal_actions/document_actions/print
http://localhost:8080/[…]/manage_propertiesForm

and entered the following in the field labeled Icon (Expression):
string:$portal_url/print_icon.gif

But, the words "print this" are still shown instead of an icon. What's missing?

Thanks.
