Create Custom Lists
Posted by: Doug Clegg on 6/12/2008 6:18:40 PM

Tired of those boring circle or square bullets? Numbers and letters not quite cutting it for your website lists. Add your own personal touch to the lists by putting in any icon of your choice. Some guidelines must be followed in order for this look properly but they are simple and easy to follow using the SnapCMS™

This article assumes you already have uploaded your image. Which should be of jpg/gif/png format.

Create custom icon for all items in list

  1. Create a bulleted list
    • List Item 1
    • List Item 2
    • List Item 3
       
      • Place your cursor anywhere in the list
         
      • Click “Styles & Formatting” Icon

         
      • Select “List Formatting” option

         
      • Click the floder icon beside the “Using Image - url”

         
      • Select you image to use
         
      • Choose “ok”
        • List Item 1
        • List Item 2
        • List Item 3

        • Click "<ul>" closest to right in tag selection area

           
        • Click the “Styles & Formatting” icon

           
        • Select “Custom CSS”

           
        • Cut the text in the “CSS Text” area Note:If there is no text there then click the "<ul>" until something shows up

           
        • Press the space bar to insert a space into the text area and then press apply
           
        • Put your cursor into the list item you wish to change
           
        • Click on the "<li>" so that it is highlighted in the tag selection area

           
        • Paste the code into the css text area and press “apply” and “ok”
          • List Item 1
          • List Item 2
          • List Item 3

        Extra Note: If you want to add more icons to the same list just place your cursor at the end of the one with custom icon and press the “Enter” key.
