Introducing Font Awesome 5 and SVG icons

announcements
121

Hi, I’m dealing with some problems when dealing with the icons in my theme:

  1. To activate more FA icons, I added to my settings.yml:
svg_icons:
  default: "youtube|linkedin"
  type: "list"
  list_type: "compact"

But it doesn’t worked.

  1. I also tried to add custom icons

And it doesn’t worked too.

The code that tries to show the FontAwesome icon is:

<svg class="fa d-icon d-icon-linkedin svg-icon svg-node" aria-hidden="true">
  <use xlink:href="#fab-linkedin"></use>
</svg>

And the custom:

<svg class="fa d-icon d-icon-facebook svg-icon svg-node" aria-hidden="true">
  <use xlink:href="#i-facebook"></use>
</svg>

I’m using theme-creator.discourse.org and when looking for the sprite, I found this:

data-svg-sprite-path="/svg-sprite/theme-creator.discourse.org/svg-3672-f683dca15466be00000f7a819b09dd65f3e78e11.js

This is the content of sprite: https://gist.github.com/derevandal/93a28cff06b4c6ae67d46381aec2bca7

And yet, inside it, there are neither type of icons.

What do I need to do to place the icon correctly?

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks <3
