Hi, there is any kind of icon pack integrated with this template?
I mean stuff like home, envelope, etc to decorate articles/titles/categories?

I could design/find mine, and add them manually, but maybe there's something already present, or more easily integrate (especially for when my client will have to add contents on his own).

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Those you list are font based icons
Depending on where you want to add them they are JB Type (for articles/modules) and the menu links (T3 framework)

You can see a list of icons on the JB Type page

You can see the page here

Thank you for all your help, Paul.

I've checked the page you linked for JB Type. The plugin seems to be already installed, so I've tried adding some code to an article (both in title and content).

The code I've added is { jb_code }jb_icon-star{ /jb_code } (without the spaces).

Unfortunately the result is not what I would have expected (a small star). Instead I get a big fullcolor pencil icon, and the code text displayed (just "jb_icon-star").

I've tried to reinstall the latest version of the plugin (dowloaded from the link in the page you've pointed me to), but the installation fails due to no xml file.

So I've tried the JCE plugin route, but while I was able to install JCE, the jce_plugin fails to install for the same reason of the main plugin (Joomla seesm unable to find a valid xml file).

I've also tried to unpack and upload it in tmp dir, but with no success.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

a screenshot:

With adding the syntax for the jb code that is the pencil icon - it will add the icon and then text after it will display on the same line

I would suggest looking at the font based icons as these are responsive while the ones at the bottom of the jb type page are fixed images (as with the pencil)

With Font based icons you can control them like you would with html element e.g. control their font-size, colour etc

With the JCE plugin given the sheer quantity of icons available it only displays image and simple styling elements and doesn't include the font based icons

Once more, thank you so much, Paul.

Excuse me for the newbie question, but how I should add custom css code?

I'm perfectly able to download template files from the server and modify them, but maybe there is a safer/claner way instead of tampering with files directly?

I've checked ThemeMagic but found only specific parameters, not an area for adding custom code.

No problem at all

I'd check out this thread

www.joomlabamboo.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&view=topic&catid=661&id=110521&Itemid=215

If you need any more info or clarification just ask

I would just underline that editing template css files other than custom.css will see changes lost when you either re-compile the template or update the template version

So any changes either to override existing styling or to add new styles add them to the custom.css file

Cheers
Paul

uhm, I've added the code suggested in the JB Type page to my custom.css

.jbtype i:before {
font-size: 4em;
color: #333;
}

but result is the same.

this is what is rendered in my page in place of the jb code:

<span class="jb_code">jb_icon-star</span>

any help?

(sorry to bother you, Paul, but most of the times newer and easyer ways are instead harder to me, used to the "old way" )

OK, did it.
"jb_icon-star" must be placed in place of "jb_code"

Sorry Paul, feeling dumb ^_^;

No probs - think I did the same when I first used it

Cheers
Paul
