Priority Icons: Configuration

Priority Icons settings: switching the plugin on and off, the four priority colors with defaults, a note on settings without effect, and customization via CSS or code.

Configuration

You find the settings in the Admin Panel under Manage > Plugins > Priority Icons, in the configuration of the plugin instance.

Settings

Setting	Key	Default	Effect
Enable Priority Icons	`enabled`	On	Switches the plugin on or off globally. When off, nothing is injected into the pages.
Emergency Color	`color_emergency`	`#dc3545`	Color for Emergency and Notfall
High Color	`color_high`	`#fd7e14`	Color for High and Hoch
Normal Color	`color_normal`	`#ffc107`	Color for Normal
Low Color	`color_low`	`#28a745`	Color for Low and Niedrig

Use 3 or 6 digit hex values with a leading hash for the color fields, for example #dc3545 or #f00 (at most 7 characters). An empty value, or a value that does not consist of # and 3 to 6 hex digits, is ignored and the default applies. Values with 4 or 5 digits are accepted by the plugin, but they are not valid CSS colors and have no effect.

The configuration form additionally shows the fields Show Tooltips and Icon Style (Filled Circle, Badge with Text, Simple Dot). These two fields have no effect in the plugin: the code never reads them. Tooltips are always active, and icons always appear as a filled circle.

Default colors

Priority	Color	Hex	Rendering
Emergency / Notfall	Red	`#dc3545`	Circle with pulsing glow
High / Hoch	Orange	`#fd7e14`	Static circle
Normal	Yellow	`#ffc107`	Static circle
Low / Niedrig	Green	`#28a745`	Static circle

The color also tints the table cell slightly: the cell gets a background made from the priority color (12 % color, the rest white).

Customizing with CSS

The plugin injects its stylesheet inline and defines CSS variables on :root there. You can override them with your own CSS that is loaded after the plugin stylesheet. The plugin configuration has no field for this.

:root {
    --priority-icon-size: 16px;
    --priority-icon-spacing: 0.375rem;
    --priority-tooltip-bg: #212529;
    --priority-tooltip-color: #fff;
    --priority-transition-duration: 150ms;
}

Variable	Default
`--priority-icon-size`	`12px`
`--priority-icon-spacing`	`0.375rem`
`--priority-tooltip-bg`	`#212529` (`#f8f9fa` in dark mode)
`--priority-tooltip-color`	`#fff` (`#212529` in dark mode)
`--priority-transition-duration`	`150ms`

The variables --priority-emergency, --priority-high, --priority-normal and --priority-low do not change the icon colors, because the color from the plugin configuration is set directly on the icon. Change colors in the plugin settings instead. The pulse of the Emergency icon keeps using the default red.

Custom priority names

The plugin only recognizes these names: Emergency, High, Normal, Low and the German names Notfall, Hoch, Niedrig. For other names you have to extend the $priorityMap list in class.PriorityIconsPlugin.php. That change is lost on a plugin update, and the color of such entries cannot be set in the configuration.
