[XB] - Font Awesome

[Steve]

We have integrated this into the framework so it can be used to add a little flare to your styles! I know I have been using some small things here and there and this just seemed like a good addition so we are not editing a default [XB] template just to add the call in the PAGE_CONTAINER, now it is just a check box away!

We can easily style the icons with plain CSS so it really gives a great touch to a style.

Updates to the Framework will be soon, we may be creating a area where customers can just download the [XB] xml to stay updated with current features. Updating the framework alone will not do any harm to your existing style so long as you have not edited the framework template, which you should not be doing anyhow.

We have now made it possible to use Font Awesome icons in place of the default node icons. They can be styled with the corresponding style properties under: Style Properties -> [XB] - Nodes ->

You can easily change the icons also by just simply inserting the one you want to appear like: "icon-check"

You can choose from the list here: http://fontawesome.io/icons/

Result

As you can see, it is rather easy to color each one differently with the provided style properties.

Can these fonts be hosted locally or are they dependent on that site?

 

[Steve]

They are included within the framework directory, so yes locally

Have you given thought to using the FontAwesome stuff for the profile related fields?

 

[Steve]

I'm sure it can be done easily. To answer, I would like to have it setup where it can be used in the account, profiles, message user info and forms (preferences and such).

I haven't looked into it too much but... I think a page with simple single style properties where users can set the icon for different things would suffice.

@xenbase_fa_likeicon
@xenbase_fa_replyicon

ect... then if it's not filled out it won't add the additional class.

Probably be like the node icons with a check box to enable with profiles icons.
