Hi, Does anybody know how to change the text of the favorite button to an image and still return the AJAX function. I have changed it to shape but it does not return AJAX function that is triggered when you click the favorite button. I’ve changed bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress-functions.php to this:

/**
 * Mark an activity as a favourite via a POST request.
...
 */
function bp_legacy_theme_mark_activity_favorite() {
	// Bail if not a POST action.
	if ( 'POST' !== strtoupper( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] ) )
		return;

	if ( bp_activity_add_user_favorite( $_POST['id'] ) )
		echo '<img src="../images/star_on.png">';
	else
		echo '<img src="../images/star_off.png">';

	exit;
}

/**
 * Un-favourite an activity via a POST request.
...
function bp_legacy_theme_unmark_activity_favorite() {
	// Bail if not a POST action.
	if ( 'POST' !== strtoupper( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] ) )
		return;

	if ( bp_activity_remove_user_favorite( $_POST['id'] ) )
		echo '<img src="../images/star_off.png">';
	else
		echo '<img src="../images/star_on.png">';

	exit;
}

I also did the the necessary adjustment to /buddypress/activity/entry.php and changed _e( 'Favorite', 'buddypress' ); to echo '<img src="../images/star_off.png">'; and _e( 'Remove Favorite', 'buddypress' ); to echo '<img src="../images/star_on.png">';Favourit button now has changed its shape to a nice star that change when you click on it but not as AJAX. It keeps refreshing the page each time I click the button.

any help would be appreciated.
