How to use the latest font-awesome icons

luceos

Our Bazaar extension uses a shopping bag icon (currently) which is only available in font awesome 4.5 and up. In order to use the latest font-awesome, do the following:

composer update components/font-awesome --no-dev --prefer-dist

This might not do anything if you're already on the latest dependency.

Now publish the font files to your assets directory:

cp -R vendor/components/font-awesome/fonts assets/

Then delete the css cache:

php flarum cache:clear

Give your browser a good bump by hard refreshing and all should be well!

FWIW, this doesn't seem to work to update from font-awesome 4.7.0 to 5.0.7.

edgimar using 5 will break the forum. But rest assured, beta 8 already has these new icons.

Moving this out of Resources because FA 5 icons are included as of Beta 9.
