Please, what template for modification?
Font awesome icons 2.3 - categories, nodes, prefixes, phrases, templates etc...
- Thread starter Mr Lucky
- Start date
My message was in reference to custom user fields, where you can use the "Value display HTML" setting rather than any template. It should work in other places too though, depending on what you want to achieve. If you're using templates it's better to just use
<xf:fa icon="..." />.

OK thank you, I understood but finally I found the solution differently for the icon on my banner

I'm converting my infinite icon list and I see that many Pro icons I have in XF2.2 are not displayed anymore in XF2.3.
These, for example, are just a few of it:
Has the XenForo FA Licence changed for 2.3?
Or perhaps is there a way to force it using Font Awesome 5 instead of FA6?
These, for example, are just a few of it:
CSS:
\e06c --> triangle-exclamation
\f5b8 --> face-smile
\f63d --> screen-users
\e065 --> house-chimney-userHas the XenForo FA Licence changed for 2.3?

The display codes are different in 2.3.

That's what I've read on another reply while searching. And I thought this was the reason, until I tested my
pizza-slice icon and it showed up.Looking at the SVG files folder (in /styles/fa), some icons names are inverted: for example
triangle-exclamation is there as exclamation-triangle.svg while others are missing.Yes, I'm already converting my CSS, and I'm testing every icon by just changing the same row in the EXTRA.less over and over. Some shows, some don't...

You need to use this to find icon names: https://fontawesome.com/v5/search as an example:
exclamation-triangle = v5
triangle-exclamation = v7
XenForo uses version 5.

I'm aware that FA5 was used in XF2.2 (since all icons was showing in previous version) while XF2.3 comes with FA6
By the way I'm already using the Font Awesome site singe long time for searching the icons I need, and I'm also using it for converting the icons for this update, but thanks for the hint anyway.
I'm afraid this is the only solution for the moment, I'll have to find the replacement for some icon that I'm almost sure it's going to be missing...

They never switched to FA6 for licensing purposes.
They just changed the way they used FA icons in 2.3:

I guess I don't see the issue outside of you just have the names wrong?
house-chimney-user v7 || house-user v5
screen-users v7 || users-class v5
face-smile v7 || smile v5

So I must have mistaken that post, I thought it was still referred to the old XF version!
Yeah, I guess that too. I'm searching all the correct names in the FA5 database.
Thanks for your time and help, Russ

For the moment, only the "new"
telegram-plane from f3fe code (FA 5.0.0) is not supported anymore (I had it on XF2.2).
