Solved Custom icons for categories

Only Crypsis template have less.
Blue Eagle template and my template has no Less files.

I added this code in custom.css from my template - but it didn't help.

That's right. The setting that you showed in msg #1 of this topic only applies to Crypsis. This issue is discussed in more depth in the topic Category icon in Kunena 4 and, in spite of what you may read in that topic, the issue is not yet solved.

As I wrote in another topic ,

What is now becoming apparent to me, as I read about problems that people are having with K 4.0, is most people who use K 4.0 are still using Blue Eagle (or templates derived from Blue Eagle) because they are not enthusiastic about Crypsis. I think the developers should start taking notice of these issues and listen carefully to the concerns that people in the community are having.

Returning to the subject of this topic, you cannot create custom category icons in K 4.0 (Blue Eagle variant) with CSS.

Ok, then do:

Backend - kunena - template manager - select template - edit css

And save the css on custom.css

Please Michael,
Don't give wrong information:

See:

In the Wiki is states:

Changing category icons in K 4.0 is simply a matter of replacing any or all of the files referred to below:

../components/com_kunena/template/blue_eagle/images/icons/folder.png
../components/com_kunena/template/blue_eagle/images/icons/folder_nonew.png
../components/com_kunena/template/blue_eagle/images/icons/folder_sm.png
../components/com_kunena/template/blue_eagle/images/icons/folder_nonew_sm.png

This is not entirely true. It is not "simply" a matter of replacing those files as the evidence (and questions asked by members of this community) has convincingly demonstrated. The main point that I have been consistently making (about category and topic icons) is that there is an absence of useful, understandable user documentation on this matter.

Ok, thanks.

Method with custom.css works fine.

But I still can't understand why it so difficult... :blink:

Why webmasters can't simply upload icons when they creating categories in admin panel... :huh:

It would be easy and convenient, more importantly it saves a lot of time.
