Marius Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 It is possible to replace the default forums icons with other new icons from Font Awesome?I do not want to replace icons with images, I would prefer to be replaced by other models of icons from Font Awesome.

steve00 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yes, it is. Perhaps OP is asking how and so explaining how might help them ? You just change the code used via custom.css when you have found the font-awesome icon you want to change and know what you want to change it to: e.g. say we wanted to change the redirect arrow to the bolt icon We find out that the css used for redirect arrow is: .fa-arrow-right::before { admincp >> customization >> themes >> far right of theme name click the </> icon >> css tab >> custom.css we then add to custom.css .fa-arrow-right::before { content:"\f0e7"; } where f0e7 is the Unicode for the bolt icon (must remember to put \ before the Unicode) that will change the redirect arrowit to the bolt icon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobrenome Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Ok, but what if you want a customized font icon for each forum, not the same for all of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobrenome Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Images are much less effective than icon font because they are not vetorial and slow the page loading time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim M Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Unfortunately to customize and change the CSS class you will need to edit the template. You may be able to get creative with CSS elements, data-categories and inheritance if you are confident with CSS or want to learn. There are always several ways of working with CSS, just have to find what you're comfortable with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobrenome Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 The built in system should be aprimorated to accept font icon, not only images. Changing the template and css could make harder the system upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
