I would like to create a button that users can go to the Find a club page directly or to TI directly.
I sometimes want to create a button that goes to a website that supports Toastmasters in my area. It seems the only option is to host an icon graphic somewhere and then use it. Is this the only way?

Circe,

Here is how to get an icon other than the generic green one. The trick is to upload your intended icon to your club's imageuploads folder on the server.

Just use the image tool in either the home page or meeting info page to upload your intended icon to your club images folder.

Then use the Other Social Networking Websites box and reference the uploaded icon via the following:
http://9641.toastmastersclubs.org/imageuploads/9641/yourfilename

Make sure you do not use any special characters in the filename as the code will replace those with underscores. (can be confusing)

There will be an upload button for this in the next update. Linda Mann has determined you can also use an icon uploaded to the file manager, but I recommend my approach over hers as using the file manager approach will slow down your website loading. (more code involved with file manager stuff)
Regards,

Hello Circe!

I guess I was unsure what you meant... Steve is correct... Putting it in the Social Media area is better. I did that with some other websites and the Toastmasters website.
