Change the button icons of the editor

Hello,

This quick trick will teach you how to change the icons of buttons for the editor of your Forumotion forum.


This will work for all versions so long as you're using the default editor.


Modifying the stylesheet

So you get an idea of how to change the icons, we'll modify the buttons that were in the demonstration above. Go to Administration Panel ► Display ► Colors ► CSS stylesheet and add the codes below to your sheet and submit.

Code:

.sceditor-button-bold div {
    background-image:url('http://i57.servimg.com/u/f57/18/21/41/30/b10.png') !important;
    background-position:0 !important;
}

.sceditor-button-italic div {
    background-image:url('http://i57.servimg.com/u/f57/18/21/41/30/i10.png') !important;
    background-position:0 !important;
}

.sceditor-button-underline div {
    background-image:url('http://i57.servimg.com/u/f57/18/21/41/30/u10.png') !important;
    background-position:0 !important;
}

.sceditor-button-strike div {
    background-image:url('http://i57.servimg.com/u/f57/18/21/41/30/s10.png') !important;
    background-position:0 !important;
}

Explanation

background-image : Applies a background image to the button. Use url('/myimage.gif') to set a background image, replace /myimage.gif by the URL of your image.

background-position : Sets the background position back to 0. Since most of the default images use an image map you must reset the background position, otherwise your image may not appear.

Below you will find a list of CSS rules which you can use to change the buttons icons for the editor. Each rule is marked with a comment so you know which button it modifies. So, find the CSS rule for the button you want to modify, apply your image URL, and add it to your stylesheet.

.sceditor-button-bold div {
    background-image:url('/myimage.gif') !important;

    background-position:0 !important;
}

/* scroll horizontal */
.sceditor-button-fascroll div {
    background-image:url('/myimage.gif') !important;
    background-position:0 !important;
}

    background-position:0 !important;

    background-position:0 !important;

}

/* paste text */
.sceditor-button-pastetext div {
    background-image:url('/myimage.gif') !important;
    background-position:0 !important;
}

/* switch editor mode */
.sceditor-button-source div {
    background-image:url('/myimage.gif') !important;
    background-position:0 !important;
}

Additionally if you want to change the color of all the buttons you can use the class .sceditor-button to modify their style. Below I leave an example rule which you can work from.

Code:

.sceditor-button { background:#DEF; }

.sceditor-button:hover, .sceditor-button:active, .sceditor-button.hover { background:#EFF !important; }

Good luck with your forums and most of all, be creative !

Not what I meant, I mean the smily face above the option bar with different features like this.
Actually, I wouldn't mind knowing how to make it like this one here.

Hi @dr.kran,

Are you referring to the emoji button ?

For some reason I can't find the buttons with the spacebars, how does one enter insert image button into CSS codes?
Is there a special casing for it?

@dr.kran the insert image class name is

Code: .sceditor-button-image

. If a button's name has a space in it, it'll be replaced with a dash ; -. Also, this is a list of all the default button classes :
