SOLVED Adding icons?

  • SOLVED Adding icons?

    Posted 3 years 3 months ago
    • This seems like kind of a silly question, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere: I'd like to add new icons to the icon library. (I'm using Kraken, if that matters.) There are several at FontAwesome, which the Gantry documentation says is where the library comes from to begin with, but that aren't presently in the library, that I'd like to use. Is there any way to add them?

    • There are two way of doing this.

      1. Change to fontawesome 5 and follow their documentation for adding icons. But be aware that the icon picker in Gantry 5 would be able to "see" them at all. https://rockettheme.com/forum/gantry5-for-joomla/277697-add-fontawesome-5-to-gantry-5

      OR

      2. Just use custom CSS to swap out an existing icon to your own image instead. To create a custom CSS compatible with Gantry 5 please read this http://docs.gantry.org/gantry5/tutorials/adding-a-custom-style-sheet .

      Remember to recompile CSS from base outline too.

    • Excellent; while the example code for adding FontAwesome 5 is outdated, I was able to use the link in that first post to add the library. After a bit of finagling, I'm using the icons I wanted. Thank you!
