djangocms-icon 1.0.0

Installation

For a manual install:

• run pip install djangocms-icon

• add djangocms_icon to your INSTALLED_APPS

• run python manage.py migrate djangocms_icon

Configuration

The django CMS Icon plugin ships with Font Awesome as default. You can configure this through:

DJANGOCMS_ICON_SETS = [
    ('fontawesome', 'fa', 'Font Awesome'),
    (ICONSET, 'icon', 'SVG icons'),
]

In this example we keep the Font Awesome default and add our own SVG icon set on top of it. ICONSET is an external reference to a JSON file at the root of your project setting up your custom SVG icon set:

with open('iconset.json') as fh:
    ICONSET = fh.read()

Here an example of its content:

{
    "svg": true,
    "spritePath": "sprites/icons.svg",
    "iconClass": "icon",
    "iconClassFix": "icon-",
    "icons": [
        "icon-icon1",
        "icon-icon2",
        "..."
    ]
}

svg and spritePath are only required when using an SVG set. You can also use this to generate your own icon font definitions or add them straight to the DJANGOCMS_ICON_SETS setting.

djangocms-boilerplate-webpack can generate the iconset.json automatically for you through gulp icons.

In addition you need to load the resources for your fonts in /admin/djangocms_icon/includes/assets.html through your project in order for the icon picker to pick up your custom icons.

Make sure the icons names contain the iconset prefix as shown in the example, the widget will determine the iconset based on that. They can be omitted if only one iconset is used.
