Using custom file icons in Enterprise Server

The files that are supported by Enterprise Server each appear with their own icon. To replace these icons by a different icon or to add an icon for a file that was added manually, follow these steps:

Step 1. In the configserver.php file for the Enterprise Server installation, locate the EXTENSIONMAP settings:

// EXTENSIONMAP:
//    Mapping of file types (extensions, for example image.jpg) to their MIME type and object 
//    type as stored in the Enterprise database.
//
define ('EXTENSIONMAP', serialize( array(
	'.jpg' => array( 'image/jpeg', 'Image'),
	'.jpeg' => array( 'image/jpeg', 'Image'),
	'.gif' => array( 'image/gif', 'Image'),
	'.tif' => array( 'image/tiff', 'Image'),
	'.tiff' => array( 'image/tiff', 'Image')
	...

Step 2. From the list, locate the file to which the file icons need to be defined and note down the image format/format combination.

Example: The settings for the Nikon image raw file format .NEF (a format that can be added as a custom format) would be as follows: '.nef' => array( 'image/raw', 'Image'), Here, 'image/raw' is the image format/format name combination.

Note: This image format/format combination is later used as part of the file name for the custom file icons.

Step 3. Create 3 file icons in .png format, one in each of the following pixel sizes:

• 16x16 pixels
• 32x32 pixels
• 48x48 pixels

Step 4. Save the files as follows:

• Use the following naming convention:

[image format]_[format name]_[pixel size].png

Example: For our above example of the Nikon image format, the file names would be as follows: Image_x-raw_16x16.png Image_x-raw_32x32.png Image_x-raw_48x48.png

• Save them to the following location:

[Enterprise Server path]/config/images/objecticons/Image
