Want more icons? It's pretty simple to add your own; however, it's recommended to request an icon to be added the CommunityScripts repository. When you install the plugin from the CommunityScripts repository, it will come bundled with icons that the community has contributed.

Creating a custom icon

First, you'll need to locate the custom/ directory found in the plugin's directory. This houses custom.json along with the custom icons.

NOTE: Images and SVGs are supported when using an icon.

In custom.json, you will find link definitions. Below is an example definition.

{
    name: "sitename",
    icon: "myicon.png",
    addresses: ["mysitename.com"]
}

The name is a unique identifier. The icon can be an SVG or image. The addresses array will be used in conjunction with the regex property (not shown above since it's not required) for link detection to properly categorize the icons. The default/fallback regex is https?:\/\/(?:www\.)?${addr}\/

After you've created your definitions, simply toss your icons in the same directory as custom.json.

Things to know

The plugin will fetch both the custom.json and icon files from the hard-coded plugin directory:

./plugin/externalLinksEnhanced/assets/custom

This means if you rename the externalLinksEnhanced directory, things will break. You would need to update customAssetPath in the externalLinksEnhanced.js file.

Support

I (Qx) developed this plugin but I'm giving it to the community to change and update it as much as they like. The original source code can be found here.

If you're looking for a clean install of the plugin without the custom icons, you can add my plugin repo source to Stash and install it that way:
