README

SilverStripe-Addon for font-awesome integration.

New field type

This introduces a new SilverStripe field type FAIcon.

Just add a custom field typed FAIcon to your data objects or use one of the data extensions FAIconizedClass or FAIconizedObject.

Configuration

Custom HTML tag (FAIcon.Tag)

To use a custom HTML tag. (default is i as recommended)

Optionally using SS template (FAIcon.UseTemplate)

Per default FAIcon renders itself without template. This is much faster, than using FAIcon.ss. If you're using FAIcons extensively, this can make a noticeably difference.

But if you have a good reason, you are able to switch on template usage by this parameter. The template is named "FAIcon.ss".

Iconized Classes (DataExtension)

Make all the objects of a class showing up with the same icon.

ClassName:
  FAIcon: home
  extensions:
    - FAIconizedClass

In your templates just use $FAIcon.

Iconized Objects (DataExtension)

Make the objects of a class showing up with a individual icon, editable within the CMS.

ClassName:
  extensions:
    - FAIconizedObject

In your templates just use $FAIcon.

Todo

This is just the very first version of this addon. There are some todos on the roadmap:

  • Special DataExtension for Iconizable Files (using fa's file-type-icons).
  • Optional spinning.
  • I18N icon designations.
  • Optionally require custom css/fonts or even CDN.
  • Tagging FAIcons.
  • Enhanced FAIconField with icon display, auto completion, tag search, etc.
  • Make CMS menu fa-iconizable.
