    @pwsincd are you looking to use the pro version or free ?

    @phenomlab the free version

  • @phenomlab the free version

    @pwsincd Here’s the steps to add

    1. Open the ACP, and go to Appearance -> Custom Header. Within the custom header, we need to add
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.4/css/all.min.css" integrity="sha512-1ycn6IcaQQ40/MKBW2W4Rhis/DbILU74C1vSrLJxCq57o941Ym01SwNsOMqvEBFlcgUa6xLiPY/NS5R+E6ztJQ==" crossorigin="anonymous" referrerpolicy="no-referrer" />
    

    It should look like the below. Don’t forget to add the DOCTYPE and <head> values before anything else.

    1. In the same location, we need to add
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.4/js/all.min.js" integrity="sha512-Tn2m0TIpgVyTzzvmxLNuqbSJH3JP8jm+Cy3hvHrW7ndTDcJ1w5mBiksqDBb8GpE2ksktFvDB/ykZ0mDpsZj20w==" crossorigin="anonymous" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"></script>
    

    You should now have something like the below

    Ensure that both of the below are on

    beaa416f-fd89-45e2-80b4-ab561443934b-image.png

    Save the changes

    This will now pull the required CSS and JS from the CDN on each page load. When attempting to use the font itself, you will need to identify it with font-family, so for example

    .mytarget {
    font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Free";
    font-weight: 900;
    }
    

    Note that the free version only supports the solid icons, so it’s necessary to set the font-weight attribute.

    If you are looking to replace the existing icons, let me know as this requires additional configuration for it to work properly. This is something I do with a Pro subscription I have that Sudonix is using.

    @phenomlab This is great , i think you included some info i was missing i was almost there … replacing the whole sites fonts would be cool , is that with some kind of shim?

  • @phenomlab This is great , i think you included some info i was missing i was almost there … replacing the whole sites fonts would be cool , is that with some kind of shim?

    @pwsincd No, you should be able to override all of them, but likely on a one-by-one basis. You could use the css class of * but this is complete overkill and will impact other fonts on the site as it covers every single class.

    @pwsincd Can you share a URL where I can see this ? Over PM if you’d prefer 🙂

    @pwsincd This doesn’t look right at all

    Can you give me admin access to this site so I can take a look at your config please ?

    Let me know if feasible, and I’ll create an account.

    @pwsincd hi. Just following up on this thread (I know it’s old) but was curious to understand if it’s still an issue or not ?

    @crazycells Good points, thanks. I completely forgot that classes are added - makes life much simpler! EDIT - seems this is pretty straightforward, and only needs the below CSS .upvoted i { color: var(--bs-user-level) !important; } This then yields [image: 1718028529465-3f072f8a-ebfa-4910-8723-73c493b8e4eb-image.png] However, the caveat here is that the .upvoted class will only show for your upvotes, and nobody else’s. However, this does satisfy the original request however I would love to see my upvoted posts more clearly, because currently, when I upvote, nothing on the post tool is changing, it would be nicer if there is an indication that I have upvoted (like a filled or colored triangle?)

    @cagatay this relates to a change the css classes used for the brand header meaning it will now float to the left instead of right. If you’d like to retain the original behavior, you can add this css class [data-widget-area="brand-header"] { justify-content: end; display: flex; } Further information here https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17090/manual-build-a-custom-header-in-harmony/19?_=1684069325296

    @phenomlab Seems to be better with some scaling fix for redis on redis.conf. I haven’t seen the message yet since the changes I made # I increase it to the value of /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn tcp-backlog 4096 # I'm uncommenting because it can slow down Redis. Uncommented by default !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #save 900 1 #save 300 10 #save 60 10000 If you have other Redis optimizations. I take all your advice https://severalnines.com/blog/performance-tuning-redis/

    @pwsincd I think you can use userData.isAdmin = isAdmin; if I’m not mistaken - see https://community.nodebb.org/topic/15128/how-to-hide-whitelist-user-field-only-to-owner-or-admin?_=1648802303112 for an example

    @jac That won’t matter. You just redirect at nginx or apache level and it’ll work. The generally accepted standard though is to use a subdomain.
