RH2020 - Can we have custom image for each bucket in Indigo/Coffee layout?

[Tejas Dandekar]

I have 4 buckets, FAQs, KB, Videos, Guides.

Right now the default image is displayed for each bucket.

Can I add 4 indicative images to show FAQs, KB, Videos, Guides on the home page ToC?

I think that is only an option with the frameless outputs.

In RH2019 you can set a custom home page image for individual items in the toc. Open the toc, click on an item and select an Icon Image. I assume you can do this in RH2020 as well.

I should clarify that the icon will only display in the home page tiles, not in the more traditional table of contents panel.

[Peter Grainge]

I think Tejas means the home page when referring to buckets rather than tiles.

[Amebr]

I interpreted buckets to mean the tiles on the home page: 4 tiles for FAQ, KB, Video, Guides. 

So setting the image in the toc should set the image for the tiles on the home page. Then I wanted to clarify for anyone reading later that the images would only show in the home page tiles, not in the regular toc in the sidebar once you drill down to a topic.

I don't think the images are set in the skin any more.

[Peter Grainge]

I got mixed up thinking of a traditional TOC on the left. However, looking at Indigo only, I can only see how to set one image for all the tiles. How are you setting different images?

In the actual table of contents, not in the skin. 🙂

The tooltip in RH2020 says "frameless" but it works for coffee (and I assume indigo but I haven't tried)

[Peter Grainge]

Isn't that only for the TOC on the left, not the home page where Tejas wants different images?

No, the icon image is for the home page tiles.

[Peter Grainge]

Oh! Seems an odd place to locate it.

[Amebr]

I think it makes sense when people want different icons for each tile. Because the tiles are the toc entries, tying the icon to the actual toc make a lot of sense. The base icon used if you don't customise belongs in the skin though.
