add fontawsome to theme

[nickosn]

Hi,

 

I am trying to add fontawsome to our theme.

So I copied th font dir from default-bootstrap to our theme and copied the css font-awesome dir to our css folder

Should prestashop (1.6) pickup the css automatically or do I have to do add something to the header.tpl file ?

 

Kind Regards

Well no, you have to include css in your main global.css file. If you are not using sass, you can try with @import, or just copy over all styles making sure you reference the correct font files path

Hi Nemo1,

 

Is that the way default-bootstrap does it?

using @import seems not the best idea.

What if I add a <link> in the headers.tpl ?

What code could I use ?

 

Kind Regard

Well yes, you can use the link as well, of course, just get the absolute url pointing there on your site and add it No need to use variables in this case, you can just drop it in

I added

            <link rel="stylesheet" href="{$css_dir}font-awesome/font-awesome.css" type="text/css" media="{$media}" />
            <link rel="stylesheet" href="{$css_dir}font-awesome/font-awesome-ie7.css" type="text/css" media="{$media}" />

 

to the headers.tpl file and seems to be OK.

Had to change the ../ to ../../ in the css file itself in order to work ok

 

 

Thank
