Start Using Font Awesome
marvays
Hello. I want to use the icon in the main menu. I was surprised that I can't just use the awesome font. I suggest you think about it and prepare something for the next update.
The ideal solution would be to have the fotnt awesome library stored on ftp and have an icon selection item in the administration menu. In the drop-down list, I would then select the icon I want and save it. Simple.
Now I've tried to add fa fa-home to jform_params_menu_anchor_css-lbl but it displays incorrectly ... it changes the font for the item and other issues. It was well resolved by JoomlaShine before it disappeared.
Please do it anyway. Thank you.

Accepted AnswerHi, if you are using Helix Utimate or Helix3 template you can use FontAwesome in menu. It's also very easy. Do you need video or just screenshot?
If you enable MegMenu for Menu item then you should see all feature.
SunFramework doesn't belong to us and I don't know this product to tell more.

Accepted AnswerAhoj,

You are using FA liblary not template that's why you have such a problems. You forgot to enable FA in Template options, and disable extra resourse.

FA 5 Free needs to be font-weight:bold otherwise they do not work :(

Accepted AnswerDUCT TAPE fix:
.fa::before {
font-weight: bold;
padding-right: 5px;
}Helix was and is OK, only you complicated your work. Look point (1)
Using this (from plugin?) what for, I don't know.

Accepted AnswerMy suggestion is:
- Disable extra plugin that loads & use FA
- Enable Font Awesome from Template Options
- That's all.

Accepted AnswerI have turned on fontawesome in tempalte. And I don't have any other plugin for that. Everything only from JoomShape + Akeeba and Add Custom CSS to the administration area.
Nevermind. It doesn't matter that it doesn't work. I will add icons according to the instructions you showed me first.
