Subject:RE: UPDATE: Members Area Icons - and an offer

I'm pleased to announce the all the 71 new icons are ready!

 

A HUGE thank you to PAM (you know who you are), an already incredibly busy person who volunteered to create all these new icons for FREE.  Very grateful!

 

Here's the current full set, now a total of 105 icons:  https://demo.harmonysite.com/dbpage.php?pg=hsicons  You have an identical page in your own HarmonySite.  Note that that page simply lists available icons - it's NOT a whole new set of functionality for your HarmonySite.  Clicking on any icon on that page will do nothing.

 

If you would like to use one of these new icons on your HarmonySite main Members page, for your members to click on to access some page in your site, do the following...

 

  1. Ensure you're logged in as an administrator
  2. Click the "Admin" link in the top-right corner to view your Admin Dashboard
  3. Click the "Site Navigation Menu" link
  4. EITHER click the "Add new navigation link" button in the top-right corner, OR click the little "Update" icon to the right of the existing navigation link that you wish to change.
  5. Fill out the fields, if necessary...
    1. Enter any "Text to display" you want
    2. Nominate the page that the icon should link to (select it from the drop-down list called "Page from this website")
    3. The "Parent" should be your main Members menu, usually called "Public Access - Members (80)" (or similar)
    4. The "Display ranking" specifies where this icon should be positioned within the set of icons.  If you get it wrong, the icon can easily be dragged into a better position, if necessary, on the "Site Navigation Menu" page
    5. The "Members page icon" field is the important one here.  Just below the spot for the icon, there's some yellow help text.  In that help text there's a link called "Members Area Icons".  Click that link to see all available icons to choose from.  When you have chosen the one you want, copy its name (e.g. icon-assessments.png), and paste it into the spot on the previous page.
      IMPORTANT:  You must ALSO copy/paste the text in the yellow help box that reads /brostools/applications/singing/images/icons/   So the contents of that box will look something like:  /brostools/applications/singing/images/icons/icon-assessments.png
    6. The "Members page text" field is optional text that members will see in a little pop-up "tooltip" when they hover their mouse over the icon on the main Members page
    7. Ignore the "Display ranking in footer" box
    8. Set the "Access Level required" to either "Restricted Member Access" or "Regular Member Access"
    9. Do not select ANYTHING from the "Only display up to" drop-down.
  6. Click "Save" at the bottom when you're done.
  7. Visit your main Members page, and you'll hopefully see your new icon.

 

If the available icons don't meet your needs, you can also add a new icon to your main Members page with ANY text on it (but no picture).  For example:

 

 

To do so, follow the steps above, and make sure...

 

 

That's it!  That's all that's required.

 

If the text you entered for the icon is too big, and it is truncated or overflows, please email support@harmonysite.com and we can fix it for you (or if you know CSS, you can fix it yourself!).

 

 

We won't be offering to create new icons anytime soon (we gave you lots of chances to ask for some).

 

In harmony,
