Ja Fit - ACM Features Intro Style 1 Feature Icon

wbroda

Hi, I was wondering why you put a field to upload an image as Feature Icon and not give the possibility to use Font Awesome? It would make it so much easier to use this feature.
Any chance this will get fixes in future releases?

wbroda Hi,

The feature to upload images accordingly is quite easy and feasible option which has been incorporated to allow the flexibity to add any image from local system. Although, Font-awesome library is quite extensive but still goes limited as one has to choose from varied selection to certain extent

Will discuss with JA Dev. Team if the feature as being requested by you can be instead provided as the team is currently working expeditiously on new JA Builder and T4 framework along with improving DT register as per roadmap along with bug fixes for other JA templates, extensions based upon regular feedback and inputs

aman204 Thanks for your reply. I see the point that uploading an own image gives more flexibility, so this is a great add-on and I think it should stay, absolutely! I was sad to see it push out the Font Awesome option as the ACM module always made it very easy to use the FA icons. I think it would be perfect if the two options could co-exist: image upload & FA use 🙂
In my case, I would be totally happy to use the fa icons in this place and now I have to look for free icons to download and upload to my site, so this makes the whole process longer and more complicated - of course I'm only speaking for myself.

Oh and I'm very happy that the menu is now fixed on top of the screen when scrolling down, great job implementing this feature!!

Hi,

You can customize a little bit in PHP & CSS to achieve that:
Change the type of current image option: go to file: root/templates/ja_fit/acm/features-intro/tmpl/style-1.xml

Look for this field:

<field name="ft-icon" type="media" default="" label="FEATURES_FONT_ICON_LABEL" description="FEATURES_FONT_ICON_DESC" />

change the type="media" to type="text"

Render the icon in the module instead of image: replace this line of code (or simply comment it for backup)

<img src="<?php echo $helper->get('ft-icon', $i) ; ?>" alt="Icon intro" />

by this one:

<i class="<?php echo $helper->get('ft-icon', $i) ; ?>" aria-hidden="true"></i>

Now, go to backend settings of this module and add your own FA icons for each item: http://prntscr.com/k51qdg

Then style for it as by default, the template provides style for image in that place only so you will have to customize style for it.

saguaros thanks for the solution, it worked and I will try customizing the style now

wbroda Nice that it worked for you

@saguaros Thanks for following up on the same and suggesting the workaround to get the envisaged feature 🙂
