I located the class settings for Response Gallery icons in the “Content/Legend/Help (md)” section of the “Album Settings” section of the “Template Design” page. If I want to change those icons, where can I find a reference list for the icon classes?
those are all Font Awesome 5 icons.
Great - thanks. I’m assuming that the icons used in the default page template settings are limited to the ones currently listed, and that I will need to download any others I want to use from Font Awesome?
No downloading needed, Matt’s already provided. Just change the code for the icons in question.
Thanks - found it.
Btw, I looked through the Backlight documentation for information about icons, and didn’t find a mention of Font Awesome. Did I just miss it?
I don’t think there is anything about it.
Maybe I’ll create a blog post on it for my TTG-Tips site.
There are a couple of ways Font Awesome is used throughout Backlight. One you just ran across. You can use the same technique in your menu set too for navigation menu items, just add the needed snippet of code.
In other places, custom css is needed using the unicode for a particular icon.
That’s good to know - thanks!
We don’t write a lot of documentation around things you’d need to code for. There are some examples in the PHPlugins folder, and some stuff here on the forum. And if someone is writing code, we expect they should be able to muddle it out for themselves. That’s basically what I have to do all day long.
Our documentation efforts mostly go into using the software itself, whereas custom coding is a bit extra.
Here’s a post on using Font Awesome in your Backlight site:
