Invision Community 5: A video walkthrough creating a custom theme and homepage By Matt Thursday at 04:02 PM
Jimi Wikman Posted May 10 Posted May 10 Getting back to building again, and I forgot if there is something removing glyphs when trying to add a Font Awesome Glyph into the name of a category, like a forum name for example? I tried to add it, but it does not show properly. So it is either me not adding the Font Awesome library correctly, or there is a security protection in the way? Dia Mond 1
Solution Jim M Posted May 10 Solution Posted May 10 Font Awesome requires HTML and Forum names will not execute HTML. SeNioR- and Jimi Wikman 1 1
Jimi Wikman Posted May 10 Author Posted May 10 I figured as much. So to add that, I have to extend the names with a new input field to append to the forum name or category name for Pages, for example?
Jim M Posted May 10 Posted May 10 A customization would be required to do something if you wish to add this functionality. What that is, would not be something we could tell you under support but you're welcome to ask third party providers. Jimi Wikman 1

If you like the icons of the awesome font for your forum icons, then direct use I think is not possible. But you can do something else - - take a screenshot of any icon font awesome you like - convert these images to webp format - use add icon function for each name of your forum, and it will replace original ui icons with your images. Here's an example: In this case, you will also save a function - unread/read and you will have different awesome font simulated images. Jimi Wikman 1

I appreciate that @Adlago, but I am not looking for the forum icons, but to add a little icon to the forum name so it shows up something like this: That require a little extension, so I have another field in the forum editing form that I can output in the template. I'll dig into it when V5 is released and see if I can get that sorted 🙂
