Question Custom "messenger" icons/fields in Kunena user profile

Is there any way to remove messengers that we don't use or add ones like xfire and steam to the icons?



Thanks in advance for any help.

Joomla! 2.5.8 Stable
Kunena 2.0.4
Blue Eagle 2.0 template

Can you explain how these things relate, in any way, to Kunena,please?

Well maybe it's Joomla stuff. I installed both Joomla and Kunena at the same time so it's hard to tell what belongs to what.
All I know is when I click a Profile in Kunena you have the messenger icons.
In the Profile edit inside Kunena there are fields to add your messenger names.

In admin I can't find anything relating to the messenger icons/fields in Joomla or Kunena.

Now if this is actually Joomla then I'll go bug them, but to me it "looks" like Kunena. lol

Don't blame me blame the seamless integration! lol

It took a while for me to connect the image you showed in your earlier message with the corresponding version that I see at this website.

If I understand correctly, you just don't want to see the current icons that are part of the Blue Eagle template (user profile view), but you want to add other ones instead?

1. I only have a hypothesis but not a fully-developed solution


2. These images that you referred to are built around CSS sprites (I'll leave you to do the background research into how you can construct CSS sprites - any simple search of the internet will explain the technique). You can, therefore, build a different image and use it in your Kunena installation instead of the one that's currently there.


3. These images are tied to the data that's entered by your users when they edit their user profiles. You can change the captions of the data fields where users already enter that data by modifying the language file. If you go to the Wiki that accompanies this forum, search the Wiki for "language file", you will get more information there.


4. Because you will need to make files in areas that will be over-written later when there will be new versions of Kunena released, if you want to protect these things from being overwritten in future then you should create your own template. It is beyond the scope of this forum to go into all of that detail but there's some information available in the Wiki that will help explain the process. The information in the Wiki is a little out of date but the approach is still reasonably workable with K 2.0.

Now that I think I understanding better your enquiry I have moved this topic into a more appropriate category for your needs. Good luck.
