Custom icons

Bagi_Ril

Is there any way to add own icons for user groups, tags, etc.?

Bagi_Ril I might imagine the following workaround. Assign any tag icon from the FontAwesome set, e.g. fas fa-bolt. And then rewrite its CSS in Appearance->Edit custom CSS:

.fa-bolt:before {
    content: url('my-custom-icon.png') !important;
}

where my-custom-icon.png is a file in your public/assets folder.

The icons are only passed through the FontAwesome.
Maybe the Flarum developer team will offer even more facilities in Flarum V2.0 by then.

For tags you can use Font Awesome for more than 1600+ free icons - so I think there are plenty of options to choose from.
Example: fas fa-"icon name"

Not sure about custom-made icons.. I think with some CSS work it can be achieved

This still works: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/18196-custom-badges-how-to-have-a-not-standard-badge/2

Thx for help guys but I found a simple and easy way to add it.

Basically everything I needed to do was to put fontawesome cdn in custom header. I bought fontawesome pro so I got v6 beta and wanted to add icon support for v6 and this is basically it. Only problem is that it does not display in admin dashboard but I'm looking forward to make simple extension that will add same cdn in header of admin file.

If v6 is backward compatible we could consider making a toggle for now, until we figure out a better way to detach this dependency.

Thoughts?

Font Awesome sent out a newsletter yesterday with a link to an upgrade guide. Drop in the new fonts and CSS files and it should work.

We learned our lesson the hard way with version 5, when we broke compatibility with version 4. Doh! We're sincerely sorry about that. Since then we've changed our ways and joined the No Breakage Club.

As we inch closer to the February release of Font Awesome 6, we're glad to report that we've built in easy upgrading from v5 and v4. So no matter which version you're coming from, things should be super smooth. In fact, the amount of effort we put into version 6's upgrade-ability rivals the amount of time we spent building version 5 altogether.

With most upgrades, everything should "just work" as expected.
