Solved How can I change category and topic icons in Kunena 4.0.7 ??

Hello!!

I have installed Joomla 3.4.5 and Kunena 4.0.7 forum. In Kunena I would like to change icons of my topics and categories for both Blue Eagles and Crypsis templates (for example I would like to use an heart icon for the category "Love"), but I don't know how to do it!! About this issue in this forum I found only old posts related to old versions of Kunena or with broken links....have someone more updated information to solve this problem?

Then I have another question: if for the front-end (for both Blue Eagles and Crypsis templates) no specific icon is associated to each category ( icons are used only for the topics). In fact if I use the above templates Kunena shows only a text label to specify a category: so how could I associate an icon for each category too?

Thanks a lot.

for Categories (only crypsis):
- open the category manager - edit category - enter css class for icon

for topic icons:
- open the category manager - edit category - edit topic icons*
*icons + xml should be in media\kunena\topic_icons\your_custom

Can you explain me better? I mean:

1) If I have understood well do I need to create a new css class for icon? Am i right? If yes, in which file must I put the new css class? How can I set the new css class in the category manager? Where can I find the default css class so that I can modify it?
2) How can I change category icons for Blue Eagle template?

A question: in the category manager I haven't a section for the topic icons!!! Which section do you refer to?

Thanks a lot,

Categories / Edit Category / Category settings tab, at the bottom. Find it?




However, I still cannot get this to work, truly grateful if someone could point out what I'm doing wrong . I'm only trying to change the default topic icon.

I'm using crypsis with fontawesome.

Let's say I'd like to change the default topic icon for my "News"-category. I have selected "Default" in the "Topic Icons" setting above, so I go edit media/kunena/topic_icons and change row 15 :

<icon id="0" name="default" published="1" b2="file" b3="file" fa="file" title="COM_KUNENA_ICON_DEFAULT" src="user/default.png" />

to :

<icon id="0" name="default" published="1" b2="file" b3="file" fa="file" title="COM_KUNENA_ICON_DEFAULT" src="user/default.png" />

But when I view my category in the frontend, the previous default topic icon is shown :




Using Chrome Developer it says that the icon class is fa fa-file fa-2x. Where is this defined?

then you need to change the fa="file" to fa="comment" or something, depends which icon you want: See fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/

Can you elaborate? I’m also trying to figure this out.
