Pages Pages database: please, add ability to change category icon

[ipbfuck]

Hi!

Like from object,

can be a great feature add ability to change category icon in pages database via category settings.

otherwise, atm, all category contain same icon and this isn't a great view.

i hope this can be implemented in feature release

-

Edit: this can be a good feature also in forum category...

-

regards,

S.N.

I've suggested this before myself, and it would be a helpful and visual indication of the difference in categories.  

I used this feature to really customize my forums, and it really helped each forum board differentiate themselves.

It would be useful, as it's nifty for forums and I don't understand why we can't for IP.Pages.

Perhaps someone will create a plugin for it?

i can share css code For forum, and For pages, without problem

Edit: this work in forum:

[data-forumid="1"] .fa::before {content:"\f1ea";} /* news icon forum id=1 */

and this in pages database:

[data-categoryid="1"] .fa::before {content:"\f121";} /* code icon database id=1 */

 

U can choose icons from here: https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/

and copy "Unicode" format (+ a backslash).

 

thats is all (i've put all in custom.css)

Edit: i've finally put custom icon in entire website (forum and database). But, instead to put entire code in custom.css, i've used this structure for pages:

+

 

and code in custom.css just for forum icon.

this preserve to put unuseful css when not required

Hope this is added to page databases. So I can add custom icons more easy without creating to much custom css

I have a database where I need each icon to be car manufacturer logo.

Still missing this feature. Hate it to edit css when it could be much nicer.

I have also suggested it months ago for system consistency across apps.

It's worthless to suggest things here, i've given up feeding the void.

IPS has a vision of its own. Their customers should provide the money, not the ideas (unless they are specifically asked to).
