¿Hay algún tutorial sobre cómo cambiar los iconos de Discourse a la versión Pro de Font Awesome?
Good idea, we should at least mention this somewhere @pmusaraj. Probably simple? I guess here in this topic is good!
If the Pro package includes one SVG sprite file, you can add that file in a theme or a theme component, and reference it as an asset with the variable icons-sprite:
"assets": {
"icons-sprite": "/assets/my-icons.svg"
}
If there are multiple sprite files in Pro, you might want to add them to a plugin.
Add each SVG sprite file in the plugins/your-plugin-name/svg-icons folder and then restart your server (if in dev) or rebuild the site.
Access to the Pro packages, which contain more icons and styles, require you to configure the @fortawesome scope to use our Pro NPM registry. (Font Awesome)
I’m trying to install the pro version but I’m having no sucess at this. Do you have any tip?

You should do these npm steps somewhere else, at /var/discourse is not a good place for them. Also, I’m not sure how the Pro package is shipped, but you only need the svg sprites in Discourse. The free ones are here: https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/tree/master/sprites
You’ll probably need to do that inside the container. You’d first do it with
./launcher enter app
and muck with it there, and then you’d edit app.yml to have it do that stuff when it built the container.
Or, you’d do that stuff elsewhere and get the svg file that you need and put it . . . somewhere.
And you probably don’t want to download all zillion of the things anyway.
Very much this, the move to FontAwesome 5 coincided with a change to selectively load what was needed and reduced the amount of data sent to the browser by 63%. Blindly loading everything in FA5 Pro would push the needle well in the opposite direction.
Actually I’m trying to change my icons to a more light style, not regular or solid. To use this style I need to be PRO on FontAwesome.
Example from a Discourse forum:
Or maybe those are custom icons.
I think it will be more cost-effective to use custom icons - there are loads of quality icon sites (or even sets) that don’t cost as much as FA pro.
Hola @Merlls_Rizzini: si aún estás buscando esto, acabo de lanzar un complemento que permite a un sitio instalar todos los iconos Pro, lo que debería facilitar un poco este proceso.
Aún queda un poco de trabajo por hacer, ya que todavía necesitas decidir qué iconos quieres cambiar y escribir un componente de tema para usar los nuevos iconos (consulta la sección sobre cómo reemplazar los iconos predeterminados en esta guía para más detalles. Actualmente, aún no hay forma de reemplazar todos los iconos con un estilo diferente (por ejemplo, cambiar sólidos por ligeros), pero esperamos que esto facilite personalizaciones como esta.
