Labels

An entry (or advertisement) usually has a specific label, such as 'For Sale, 'Wanted' etc. Additional labels may be created as required, and even the existing ones changed by the site if desired.

Is is possible to associate an image with each label, and which would be displayed as an alternative to the label text with the entry, which is the default if no image is specified.

[Note]Note

One website that you may find useful is: http://www.text2image.com which can be used to generate an image containing any desired text with coloured background, foreground etc. This is possibly easier than chasing through the CSS file looking for the appropriate settings to modify. The chosen of image size is obviously very much a matter of choice but a size of 80px by 30px utilising a font size of 10pt, and typeface of Ariel is a good place to start experimenting. Three images, one for each of the supplied default labels are already supplied when the component is installed.

In the initial release there is also a description field for each label, that currently serves only as a facility for an administrator to specify some notes upon the intended use of the label.
