Re: Data Icons

If you're not changing the icon character itself, can't you just use the /font.css (or inline style) to change the color? I mean, the coffee was weak this morning but I'm not sure how weak it was.

I tried to answer Bruce, but I am in some sort of moderated limbo. Say a prayer so I'll be sprung from these wretched chains soon and will be able to participate.

Re: Data Icons

Hi Bruce,

Yes, you can change the background color in the 'colors.css' sheet. It is class .bg-sky if I remember right.

That color may be used a few more places, so if you don't want to change everywhere you could create a class just for the basket background.

Thanks,

Mark

Re: Data Icons

All the icons are being generated by an icon font. If you need to change this you'll have to create your own icon font, which you can then call in using the CSS located in: /fonts/fonts.css

Re: Data Icons

I can shed some light on this. The basket icon uses an icon font...

Hi Brennan,

What sheet controls the color of the basket icon font?

Thanks,

Mark

Re: Data Icons

Thanks for the response Brennan. I have tried adding code to my .htaccess file and my site looks fine from the user end with susansoaps.com being sent to www.susansoaps.com but I am not able to get into anything beyond the home page on the miva admin side. (No catalog, marketing, user pages, etc., etc.)

This is the code I tried to add below what was inserted by Miva.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^susansoaps.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.susansoaps.com/$1 [R=301,L]

I deleted that code out since I could not manage my site with it there, but obviously I would like to have the redirection set up.

Can you please tell me where I am going wrong?

Thanks.

Re: Data Icons

The font is set to load from www. The non-www version will not work. You'll want to add some code to your .htaccess file to force your site to www. It is best practice for SEO anyways.

Re: Data Icons

Update: Actually, after scrolling down - it is every icon on my home page at susansoaps.com

Thanks.

Re: Data Icons

Can anyone shed any light on why the data icons are showing up just fine on my www.susansoaps.com home page but not on my susansoaps.com home page? And perhaps where and how to fix this?

I am using the Iron & Wool Ready Theme. These are the icons up at the top right - associated with the phone number, orders and account and even the search one in the main nav bar?

Thanks.

Ha, I just tracked this down the old fashioned way, should have come here first!

Re: Data Icons

Thank you Gordon,
I have actually tried that but when I use the code to add a new icon, it just comes in blank or with a question mark. Don't I need to add the new font files to the server or something?

edit: I figured it out. The syntax for the more recent updates to font-awesome is different than the original. I was simply putting in class="fa-send-o" and you need to enter it like this - class="fa fa-send-o"

Thanks again for your help :)

Re: Data Icons

If the standard bootstrap theme loads font awesome in the global Head template:

You can look for something like this:

<link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/3.2.1/css/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet">

change it either to:

<link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.3.0/css/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet">

or if you always want the latest automatically:

<link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/latest/css/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet">

Re: Data Icons

The standard bootstrap theme use font-awesome 3.2.1
Is there any way to upgrade to 4.3 without breaking all the work I have done so far?
