Associating icon images with a file type

Top  Previous  Next

You can associate an icon image with a certain file type so that whenever these files appear in your search results, an icon representing their file type is displayed alongside them.

To do this, double-click on the file extension you wish to configure on the "Scan Options" tab of the Configuration window. The options available for that file type will appear in a window. Click on the configure_images_button button. Here you will see the image and thumbnail configuration window for this file type.

Select the "Display same icon for all files" option, and specify the full URL to the image file you wish to use as an icon for this file type. The icon URL must be a full URL that points to the image file as it is hosted on your website (eg. "http://www.mysite.com/images/icons/icon_pdf.jpg"). Note that you should NOT enter a local file path here.

Note: Icon file formats (eg. ".ico") can not be used here. Only image file formats which are supported by your web browser can be used (eg. ".jpg", ".gif", etc.)

Repeat the above instructions for each file type that you wish to associate an icon/image with.
