Hi -
I've created a new resource type for 3D molecule viewing (details/download here). It's all working perfectly, except that I can't get it to display with its own icon on a course main page.
How is it achieved? I have placed a new file, "icon.gif", inside my resource folder (/mod/resource/type/jmol/), but it simply doesn't appear. I don't believe it's a cache problem since it's been about 4 or 5 days since I first put the new icon in place, and it still doesn't show, even if using a completely different web browser (one I haven't used for months!).
Is there something else required to nudge Moodle into picking up the icon file?
Does this help?
Notes on adding new pix for additional mime types:
amend lib/filelib.php and add an icon gif to pix/f
Code snippet from lib/filelib.php (red line = new line):
...
'm' => array
('type'=>'text/plain', 'icon'=>'text.gif'),
'mdb' => array
('type'=>'application/vnd.ms-access',
'icon'=>'access.gif'),
'mov' => array
('type'=>'video/quicktime', 'icon'=>'video.gif'),
...
As long as I didn't make any changes to my course, my course
resources kept showing the old icons. As soon as I added another
resource to my course, all icons were renewed!

Thanks for that, but it only applies for the main "file" type of resource, not for a whole new resource type.
I worked out how to do it, by the way. Unfortunately you have to modify mod/resource/lib.php and add an extra statement into the resource_get_coursemodule_info() function. Not as easy as I hoped...
