Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has ever extended the MIT theme to support a banner image per community.

If not, is anyone else interested in this? If so I'll try and make it generic.

Mark,

In 2.1, any administrator can change the image in the banner through the group Control Panel > Edit Group Properties page. Is that the functionality you are looking for?

i found that, and uploaded an image, but it doesn't show up. I assume that it is because the theme has to support it.

Funnily, I tried changing the theme in each portal layout page, but the MIT theme was still the one displayed.

well, then, i would say you have a bug because as far as i know, uploading a new image is not related to the theme, at least not here at sloan.

Another way of giving some identity to a class/community is to use a static portlet that contains an image.
The advantage of this is that the file-storage can be used, so anyone with admin rights to the community can do it.
