Will there be an update to include Font Awesome 4.3.0?

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

I was trying to use the fa-yelp icon. It must not be in the version of font awesome for this template. How can I see the version that is in the template and framework? I read about some ways to add the library but the instructions I saw did not match with my install. I know I could edit the core files directly on the server, but would rather edit within the tools available in Joomla. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

Our site is niagaracraftspirits.com the social media sections are on the right and in the footer.

Hi

Do you have the latest shortcode plugin installed?

You can set the shortcode plugin to the load the latest library via the cdn

However I'd check nothing breaks icon wise in the template after doing this - especially the mobile menu icon and the search icon

Paul,
Thank you. I do have the 1.4.0 installed. The load latest option was not on. I set that on. No change. I am not seeing the fa icon for yelp appearing in the social media add-ons. I am using the native Responsive 2 template where you select the icon from the dropdown. I am also using "favsocial" where you add the font awesome icon by name. I have tried fa-yelp and fa fa-yelp. Yelp was in 4.2, current is 4.5.

Cheers

Hi

sorry I misread this a little I was adding it locally via normal content

so this is what I did for an icon via the template

Selected User from the template social media setting choice and replaced

.zen-icon-user:before {
content: "\f007";
}

with

.zen-icon-user:before {
content: "\f1e9";
}

Cheers

Paul,
That looks like a file edit. Which file would that be in?

Hi

You would just need to add

.zen-icon-user:before {
content: "\f1e9";
}

to the file you are adding your custom.css to
