Is there a way to change the icon from the little circle of dots? Alternatively, is there a way to create a image as a button/link rather than just having one in the summary?

Thank you!

Hello Donald,

To be honest I am not sure what it is you are asking help for, as your question is a little vague. Can you either expand on the subject with more detail, or add a screen shot?

Thanks

Mary

Ah...sorry about the ambiguity. 

This is on our front page.

The upper arrow is pointing to the circle of dots we would like to replace with a custom icon. 

Alternatively, we would like to do away with the whole icon, link (the second arrow), and description and have an image serve as a hyperlink to the courses.

Yes...I see what you mean. This one is easy.

If you take a look at the Afterburner theme HERE you will see that has a special directory where custom icons are kept and used when that theme is in use. The icon looks like THIS.

To do this you will need to create a pix_core directory in your theme and then add a folder named i then add the icon to that directory. The location of the icon in the pix_core directory in relation to your theme needs to be in your Moodle site at this point:

moodle /

theme /

your theme name goes here /

pix_core /

i /

course.png

Also you might like to add the following CSS to your theme's Custom CSS box to style that heading better?

Hope that helps?
