CONTENTS OF THIS FILE --------------------- * Introduction * Installation * Credits INTRODUCTION 7.x-3.x version ------------ Font Awesome (http://fontawesome.com) is the web's most popular icon set and toolkit. This release of the Font Awesome Icons module supports Font Awesome versions higher than 5.0. For older versions of Font Awesome, you should download and install Font Awesome Icons 7.x-2.x. See the Font Awesome Icons page on Drupal.org for more information. "fontawesome" provides integration of "Font Awesome" with Drupal. Once enabled "Font Awesome" icon fonts could be used as: 1. Directly inside of any HTML (node/block/view/panel). Inside HTML you can place Font Awesome icons just about anywhere with an tag. Example for an info icon: See more examples of using "Font Awesome" within HTML at: https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/referencing-icons/basic-use INSTALLATION ------------ 1. Using Drush 8 (http://docs.drush.org/en/8.x/install/#drupal-compatibility) $ drush en fontawesome Upon enabling, this will also attempt to download and install the library in "sites/all/libraries/fontawesome". If, for whatever reason, this process fails, you can re-run the library install manually by first clearing Drush caches: $ drush cc drush and then using another drush command:- $ drush fa-download 2. Manually a. Install the "Font Awesome" library following one of these 2 options: - run "drush fa-download" (recommended, it will download the right package and extract it at the right place for you.) - manual install: Download & extract "Font Awesome" (http://fontawesome.com) and place inside "sites/all/libraries/fontawesome" directory. The JS file should be at sites/all/libraries/fontawesome/js/all.js Direct link for downloading latest version (current is v5.11.2) is: https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.11.2/fontawesome-free-5.11.2-web.zip b. Enable the module at Administer >> Modules. USAGE _____ Font Awesome can be used in many ways - you can manually insert Font Awesome tags wherever you see fit after enabling the module, but there are other ways as well. See https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/referencing-icons/basic-use for information on basic usage. CSS Pseudo-elements - if you are using the older version of Font Awesome, CSS with webfonts, you can use CSS Pseudo-elements for inserting your icons rather than the default method. See https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/advanced/css-pseudo-elements for more information on how to add the icons through CSS.
