Article Attachment Icon

[worldobservers]

is there a way to show particular icon for particular document attached?

for example:
if the attached document is PDF it will show PDF icon, if the document Microsoft word it will show Microsoft word icon and so on.

it is all about identifying the document type for visitors.

You can get attachment extension with following VTE code:

{attachment.get_extension}

You can use that to make a CSS class within attachment_list foreach statement in plugin_multiple_attachments.tpl template.

Next all you need to do is write CSS classes for each mime type, for example:

mime_jpg {background:img/icon_jpg.png 0 0 no-repeat;}

mime_gif {background:img/icon_gif.png 0 0 no-repeat;}

mime_txt {background:img/icon_txt.png 0 0 no-repeat;}

and so on.

Hi Micha

thanks for the reply.

i have not tested as yet.

i am still waiting to sort out few support tickets before i move to this one.

support a bit slow and working with "Anchors" in vivvo is a real headache.

What exactly is the problem with anchors? We did this anchors stuff to replicate what thedailybest.com does on their homepage in "CHEATSHEET" section/block for linking to article position on another page (category template in case of vivvo).

What exactly is the problem with anchors?
very good question.

first of all the anchors should be working fine as per the image attached.
unfortunately, this method as per the image attached do not work in vivvo.
when clicking on the link that related to an anchor in article page it takes u to home page.

in pages the anchor working fine:

therefore, i have searched in forum then i found this solution:
placing:
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}system/html_header_nobase.tpl" /> in the article template "in my case multipage is my master template for articles"
instead of:
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}system/html_header.tpl" />

the results is the pagination stopped working as well as the image gallery.

than i have searched for solution until i come across this thread:
http://www.vivvo.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1391

in the above tread link one of the moderators wrote this:

Just tested this... You're right, there's a bug in TinyMCE.

What you need to do (a workaround): instead of entering only #Interface in Hyperlink dialog, enter full path from category to the article, in your case: Gaming/Articles/73.html#interface

Not a beautiful solution, but should do the job.

the workaround isn't practical at all and may be good for one anchor every blue moon.

i have contact support for this matter.

i was advised to do the bellow:
Try to create a new template html_header.tpl for article pages only, that will contain the following:

<base href="{CURRENT_URL}" />

instead of:

<base href="{VIVVO_URL}" />

again, this wasn't good as well.

pagination stooped
image gallery disappeared
and other url problems.


i tried to upgrade tinymce but the upgrade did not work for Mozilla.


however, i was using a cms before vivvo and the tinymce was last update 2009 and the anchors worked perfect exactly like the image attached.

it is very clear to me the anchor problems related to vivvo more than tinymce.

This qualifies as a bug IMHO and the suggested workaround (of placing full path from category) is the only possibility till this is fixed. Changing the base url for article template will break all navigation menu, article breadcrumb and pagination while on article template (or wherever the base is changed).
