Add Image of Site Next to Title.

Hey guys… here is my question. Is there a way when you create a site to add a picture next to the title? which will be different for each site?

There's no reason why not - you could add the image as an association on the Site's root folder (similar to how user avatars work).

Thanks,

I can point you in the right direction.

- First, add an upload control to the Create Site dialog (create-site.get.html.ftl in Share)
- You'll likely have to submit the image in a separate POST request to the Repository, as it may not JSON encode well
- Create a Repository-side webscript to accept the image POST and a siteId. Take a look at the uploadavatar.post webscript, which does the equivalent for user avatars.
- Then modify the site.get webscripts to return a URL to the image
- Finally, modify the Share webscripts (start with collaboration-title.get) to display the Site image from the URL you retrieved above.

There might be other (simpler) ways of achieving this, so be warned this is a quick "off the top of my head" way of doing it.

Thanks,
Mike

I'd have thought this would be an ideal student project to learn both Share and Repository webscripts.

Oh well.
