Has anyone managed to get Font Awesome 5 working in Aware yet?
If so, how?

Re: Font Awesome 5
Hi Mark.
From what I remember you can download the font awesome 5 zip and copy all the files in the /svg-with-js/js folder into AwareIM/Tomcat/webapps/AwareIM/Custom/JS folder. I think it works without restarting anything too. Just be careful, it could break some of the FA 4 stuff (names changed and what not).
If that doesn't work I'll check what else I might have done.
(EDIT) I think you need to copy the file in /svg-with-js/css to AwareIM/Tomcat/webapps/AwareIM/Custom/CSS too.

Do you think we can pre-package version 5 with the 8.1 release?

Re: Font Awesome 5
+1, but what if you buy v5 Pro. Ther are a lot of nice icons in the pro version not included in the free version.

Re: Font Awesome 5
Exactly Roger.
I was a Kickstarter funder for Pro and would love to see it just part of Aware 8.1

Re: Font Awesome 5
There are too many changes in Font Awesome 5 - all your existing icons will stop working unless Aware IM automatically converts them to a new format.
For 8.1 we have decided not to do this and so not to integrate the new version.

That is really disappointing on FA side.eagles9999 wrote:Yes. I found that out....

I wonder if there is a 4 replaced by 5 document - otherwise they’ve created a dead end hurdle to FA4 users
Re: Font Awesome 5
That's really weird.. My v4 ones still work and I can use v5 ones. A few of my icons became rotating question marks, but 90% were still fine.

Re: Font Awesome 5
I am going to try your method right now Steve.
Can you confirm this is correct.....
Copy the file in /svg-with-js/css to AwareIM/Tomcat/webapps/AwareIM/Custom/CSS too.
and the right call is fal fa-icon rather than fa fa-icon?

Re: Font Awesome 5
Copy both the JS and the CSS files to their respective folders in AwareIM/Tomcat/webapps/AwareIM/Custom/.
With regards to the call, see what breaks and just fix those. A lot will still work.

Re: Font Awesome 5
Yep!..
Works perfectly.
fas fa-adjust = Solid Version
far fa-adjust = Regular Version
fal fa-adjust = Light Version
Thanx Steve.
No reason that V5 (free) could not be installed like this as default in Aware I wouldnt imagine.

Re: Font Awesome 5
Guys, I was in a meeting today, and one of the developers suggested FA5 for the UI of their next project and suggested Shawn's free course. I know Shawn for over 10 years and he is a great instructor.
Here is the link, signup and enjoy the course.

UPDATE:
Well guys, I went through the course, what a great and educational course for FREE.
