Hey guys .. hopefully a simple question that someone could answer.
I want to change the text in the documents module that says 'download' to a nice graphical image.

I've tried editing the 'document.ascx' page where the 'download' text reside and replacing it with an image, and nothing seems to happen, however any other changes i do to that document seem to affect the module.  Any one have any idea how i could replace that text ?

thanks

Hi Joshua,

Ok, I've done a quick test, I can find where the download text is set:

If you look at the Document.ascx file and look at:

<data name="DownloadLink.Text">
    <value>Download</value>
  </data>

Here you can edit the text, but I don't know how you would change this to an image. - Let us know if you come across a solution

Thanks,

Okay .... i've been able to figure out how to add an image for the download text .... albeit not really what i expected, but it works.

So i assumed that changing the 'document' text in the file document.ascx would be it, and have it just work, but its not quite that simple.  You actually need to change the

    <data name="cmdDownLoad.Text">
        <value>Download</value>
    </data>

found in the SharedResources.resx to

    <data name="cmdDownLoad.Text">
        <value><img src="/images/butt_download.gif"></value>
    </data>

and then ... in your document.ascx to

<asp:linkbutton id="lnkDownload" resourcekey="cmdDownLoad" runat="server" cssclass="CommandButton" commandname="Edit"><img src="/images/butt_download.gif" border="0"></asp:linkbutton>

And that did it ...
hope that helps for anyone curious.

cheers

Actually ... disregard that last post ... that does in fact change the text to be a button, however it breaks the editing html text module. So not good ... not good at all ... ** sigh ** DNN is frustratingly frustrating !! What should be a simple task is encased in typical obfuscation. I'll keep plugging away and see what i can come up with. If i find something, i post it ...
cheers
