Overriding Click Resources

Hi There,

I want to override a couple of images that ship with Click, namely:

/click/column-ascending-light.gif, and
/click/column-descending-light.gif

Can I override just those two images, or do I have to include all the
stuff in the /click directory when deployed? Or even better yet, is
there a better way to override them?

Thanks!

Alvin

Thanks Bob!

And you're right - just overriding those images seems the simplest way to go.

Cheers,

Alvin

Yes you can override only those two. You can create your own /click 
directory in the web application root directory and host your own copy 
of the images:

/myapp/web/click/column-ascending-light.gif

Click won't replace existing resources.

An alternative would be to create a custom Table and override 
getHtmlImports. But in this case it seems like more work than simply 
keeping your own copy of the two images.

kind regards
