I’ve looked at the other threads on this subject, and I’m struggling to get the font awesome icon I want to use to appear in the box on position-3.

I’d like to use the university/bank icon, which is unicode: f19c

I’ve gone to the template.css file and found and changed it to the following:

.t3-module.box-icon-note:before {
content: "f19c";
}

But it just shows a F201 (broken) icon instead of the bank icon I want.

ALSO…

I see that the module at Position-3 strips out my html formatting… this is a problem. Is there any way to display my text with formatting in this module?

Thanks!

Hi there
Please remove your custom code in custom.css to display icon

@jooservices —

I’ve removed it from my custom.css — but as you can see, that just returns the “hospital” icon, not my bank icon (f19c).

Other suggestions?

I still need to know if I can make position-3 allow my html formatting also.

Hi there,
I have just checked into code

*/@font-face{font-family:'FontAwesome';src:url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?v=4.0.3');src:url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix&v=4.0.3')
We’r using FA 4.0.3 but you’r asking for 4.2.0 code 🙂

Please reference this document for 4.0.3

Okay… hopefully you’ll upgrade to the latest version soon.

What about the html formatting? If you don’t have an answer, could you please get someone who does? Thanks.

Okay. Sure. I’ll be happy to keep each and every problem separate in the future, but I really need an answer to my question. :((

But it’s not solved. The Hospital icon persists, despite having changed it to another icon in the template.css (f164 – thumbs up), which should be from an appropriate set for the version installed.

I’ve cleared my cache, but it still persists. I’ve looked at the site in completely different browsers, but it still persists.

It’s the last tiny little thing I need to do on this site, and it’s becoming a real irritant. Can anyone please sort this out? I’m tagging a few extra heroes to see if they can shed some light on what is potentially a bug in the template.

Hi there,
As i said before. It’s 4.0.3 version.
Please do not use icon ( or code ) of 4.2. Here is screenshot with thumbs up.


fa-thumbs-o-up ()


http://www.scribd.com/doc/184410567/Font-Awesome-Cheatsheet

And beside that by checked into css code


.t3-module.box-icon-note:before {
content: "f087";
}
.t3-module.box-icon-clock:before {
content: "f017";
}
.t3-module.box-icon-heart:before {
content: "f004";
}


Actually this position only “core” provided 3 icons. For custom icon you need to work it as customize task.

Thank you,
Viet Vu

Hi there,
If you are really need FA 4.2 can just upload and include it into your template. It’ll override the old one.
But yes, it’s not suggest to do via hack core. You can do that by plugin.

Thank you,

I think we may have a language barrier thing happening here, but I’m thankful for your continued attempts to help me.
(Your English is far better than my Vietnamese! )

I was finally able to make the change by using an icon from the 4.0.3 set. It wasn’t the icon I really wanted, but it will suffice for now. Upgrading to 4.2 would be something I’m interested in learning how to do, if you have the time.

I made the change using my custom.css file, so as not to hack the core, by adding the following:

.t3-module.box-icon-note:before {
content: "f087" !important;
}

It seems to work fine.

Thanks for all your help.
Matt
