Documentation Graphics and Filetype icons

This is a Foswiki icon library. The graphics can be used in topics and by web applications.

Usage

Default notation:
%ICON{help}% results in: help

Note that ICON{} assumes an image of 16 x 16 pixels. See the tables below for copy-paste examples.

Other usage: see below.

Usage (extended)

There are several other ways to put an image in a topic.

Shorthand notation:
In SitePreferences set a macro for an ICON, for example:

  * Set H = %ICON{help}%

Now you can use the icon by writing %H%

For extended use, check out Foswiki:Extensions.SmiliesPlugin that uses a different short hand than %MACROS%.

Full path:
In any topic, write %PUBURL%/%SYSTEMWEB%/DocumentGraphics/help.png to show help.png

You are not restricted to use the DocumentGraphics topic - in a similar way you can show attached images by replacing DocumentGraphics with the topic name.

To create an image with a link, write:
[[WebHome][%ICON{home}% Home]] to get: home Home

To get rid of the underline under the space, write:
[[WebHome][%ICON{home}%]] [[WebHome][Home]] to get: home Home

To get the full URL of the icon, use ICONURL:
%ICONURL{"toggleopen"}% gets you the image path: https://wiki.chess.cornell.edu/pub/System/DocumentGraphics/toggleopen.png
and that will get rendered as: toggleopen.png

To display the ICON that is automatically assigned to a given filename pass the full filename to the %ICON% macro:
Write %ICON{"My wiki documentation.pdf"}% to get My wiki documentation.pdf

Implementation

Rendering details

Icons are rendered using two different techniques:

  1. Template based rendering. This is the more modern rendering, added by the FamFamFamContrib. The template engine is used to expand a skin template icon:<name_of_icon>. It is only used when the %ICON% macro is called with the icon name. e.g. %ICON{"pencil"}%
  2. Brute force HTLM Code generation. This is the original icon rendering. It is used when a template is not found for the icon, or the %ICON{}% macro is called with a filename or URL.

Rendering of the "file type" icons in the Topic Attachment table.

The Attachment table calls the %ICON% macro using the full filename of the attachment. The ICON macro then maps the file suffix to the icon name using a mapping table: DocumentGraphics/_filetypes.txt Each line in the table maps a file type extension to an icon name. In order for the topic attachment table to display an icon, the attachment filetype suffix must be listed in this mapping file.

Customisation

To create a full new set of Icon's, you would need to duplicate this topic, and then create a set of icon files matching these names as attachments to that copy. This lengthy process is required to support direct URL usages of the iconset (its common for users to find out a url to an image, and then paste it into the editor - this 'just' works).

Template customization

If you only want to customise a small set of icons, or add some of your own, the best way to do this is to create an icon skin template containing your customisations, and then to add that into your skin path.

eg:

Create a Skin Template for your icons

Either foswiki/templates/icons.mybook.tmpl on the filesystem, or create a topic called MybookSkinIconsTemplate in the System web (or if the icon modifications are local to a web, the topic can be created in just that web).
%{ replace the book icon }%
%{ the output of %ICONURL{book}% }%
%TMPL:DEF{"iconurl:book"}%http://someother.corp.server/My-book-company-logo.png%TMPL:END%
%TMPL:DEF{"iconalt:book"}%Book%TMPL:END%
%{ the html output by %ICON{book}% }%
%TMPL:DEF{"icon:book"}%<span class="foswikiIcon"><img src="%TMPL:P{"iconurl:book"}%" width="16" height="16" alt="%TMPL:P{"iconalt:book"}%" /></span>%TMPL:END%

%{ add a new fuzzy-bunny icon }%
%{ the output of %ICONURL{fuzzy}% }%
%TMPL:DEF{"iconurl:fuzzy"}%http://someother.server/fuzzy.png%TMPL:END%
%TMPL:DEF{"iconalt:fuzzy"}%Fuzzy Wuzzy%TMPL:END%
%{ the html output by %ICON{fuzzy}% }%
%TMPL:DEF{"icon:fuzzy"}%<span class="foswikiIcon"><img src="%TMPL:P{"iconurl:fuzzy"}%" width="16" height="16" alt="%TMPL:P{"iconalt:fuzzy"}%" /></span>%TMPL:END%

Add mybook to your SKIN setting

Assuming PatternSkin is your skin
   * Set SKIN = mybook, pattern

This allows you to create non-image 'ICONS', specify images from other servers, and add Icons in a foswiki Extension.

See Skins and SkinTemplates for more information about how to create Skins.

Extending file type icons used in the Attachment table.

As described above, file types are rendered in the code, by mapping the file suffix extracted from the filename and mapping it to an ICON in the _filetypes.txt file.

Using an existing ICON for a new filetype

  • Download _filetypes.txt and save it locally
  • Insert a line for the new filetype. e.g. Map .vim filetypes to the vimeo icon: vimeo
...
vector vector
vim vimeo         <<< Inserted line <<<
vsd vsd
...

Add a new ICON for a new filetype

  • Attach the new ICON to the DocumentGraphics topic e.g. java server pages, jsp.png
  • Using the above steps to edit the _filetypes.txt, insert a line for the new filetype and icon
jse js
jsp jsp          <<< Inserted line <<<
lzh zip

Credits

Most of these icons are from the FamFamFam Silk icon set, some are modifications by Foswiki:Main.SvenDowideit, and a few come from the Fugue icons set. The social media icons are from icondock's Vector social media set.
