A note about django CMS Text CKEditor

There are additional steps required for the icon plugin to display correctly inside CKEditor.

1. You need to make sure your icon CSS is passed via CKEditors contentsCss parameter <https://github.com/divio/djangocms-text-ckeditor/blob/175a1a444de8ca1ba4742196cb83150d45b5c505/aldryn_config.py#L36>_. On Divio Cloud this can be done through the Addons configuration.

2. CKEditor automatically removes empty tags, you can prevent this by adding a javascript configuration file <https://github.com/divio/djangocms-boilerplate-webpack/blob/master/static/js/addons/ckeditor.wysiwyg.js#L68>_ to style_set.

django CMS Icon does not add the styles or javascript files to your frontend, these need to be added at your discretion.

Configuration

This addon provides a default template for all instances. You can provide additional template choices by adding a DJANGOCMS_ICON_TEMPLATES setting::

DJANGOCMS_ICON_TEMPLATES = [
    ('svg', 'SVG template'),
]

Web Font Icons ##############

The django CMS Icon plugin ships with Font Awesome 5 as default. This can be changed by overriding the following setting::

DJANGOCMS_ICON_SETS = [
    ('fontawesome5regular', 'far', 'Font Awesome 5 Regular', 'lastest'),
    ('fontawesome5solid', 'fas', 'Font Awesome 5 Solid', 'lastest'),
    ('fontawesome5brands', 'fab', 'Font Awesome 5 Brands', 'lastest'),
]

In addition you need to load the resources for your fonts in /admin/djangocms_icon/includes/assets.html. Add this file to your project in order for the icon picker to pick up your custom icons in the admin.

The icon picker supports numerous font libraries <http://victor-valencia.github.io/bootstrap-iconpicker/>_ out of the box. You can also add multiple font sets like this::

DJANGOCMS_ICON_SETS = [
    ('elusiveicon', 'el', 'Elusive Icons'),
    ('flagicon', 'flag-icon', 'Flag Icons'),
    ('fontawesome5regular', 'far', 'Font Awesome 5 Regular'),
    ('fontawesome5solid', 'fas', 'Font Awesome 5 Solid'),
    ('fontawesome5brands', 'fab', 'Font Awesome 5 Brands'),
    ('fontawesome5light', 'fal', 'Font Awesome 5 Light', '5.3.1_pro'),
    ('glyphicon', 'glyphicon', 'Glyphicons'),
    ('ionicon', 'ion', 'Ionicons Icons'),
    ('mapicon', 'map-icon', 'Map Icons'),
    ('materialdesign', 'zmdi', 'Material Design'),
    ('octicon', 'octicon', 'Octicons'),
    ('typicon', 'typcn', 'Typicons'),
    ('weathericon', 'wi', 'Weather Icons'),
]

You can also add the version number as a fourth parameter. If no parameter is given the latest version of the bootstrap-iconpicker icon set is used.::

DJANGOCMS_ICON_SETS = [
    ('fontawesome4', 'fa', 'Font Awesome 4', '4.0.0'),
    ('fontawesome5light', 'fal', 'Font Awesome 5 Light', '5.3.1_pro'),
]

Just don't forget to include both libraries in the assets.html file. This is only necessary for the plugin rendering while selecting the icon. You still need to implement the font libraries into your frontend stack.

Custom Web Font Icons #####################

You can also add your own custom web fonts, for this you need to tell the icon picker where to find the necessary files::

DJANGOCMS_ICON_SETS = [
    (ICONSET, 'icon', 'Custom web font'),
]

In this example, we add our own font icon set on top of it. Please mind that the second parameter needs to be the icon prefix. ICONSET is an external reference to a JSON file at the root of your project setting up your custom font icons, add this before::

with open('iconset.json') as fh:
    ICONSET = fh.read()

Here an example of its content::

{
    "iconClass": "icon",
    "icons": [
        "icon-icon1",
        "icon-icon2",
        "..."
    ]
}

The iconClass refers to the second parameter in the settings file for the icon prefix. Make sure both of them are the same. Instead of using an external file you can also write the settings directly to the DJANGOCMS_ICON_SETS setting.

djangocms-boilerplate-webpack <https://github.com/divio/djangocms-boilerplate-webpack/blob/master/tools/tasks/icons/json.js>_ can generate the iconset.json automatically for you through gulp icons.

Make sure the icons names contain the iconset prefix as shown in the example, the widget will determine the iconset based on that. They can be omitted if only one iconset is used.

Don't forget to also add your custom fonts to /admin/djangocms_icon/includes/assets.html into your project.

SVG Icons #########

django CMS Icon also supports SVG icons. Follow the instructions from Custom Web Font Icons_ and then adapt the JSON file a bit::

{
    "svg": true,
    "spritePath": "sprites/icons.svg",
    "iconClass": "icon",
    "icons": [
        "icon-icon1",
        "icon-icon2",
        "..."
    ]
}

svg and spritePath are the only required additional properties. You also need to add an icon template to your project to render it correctly, for example::

<span class="{{ instance.icon }} {{ instance.attributes.class }}">
    <svg role="presentation">
        <use xlink:href="{% static 'sprites/icons.svg' %}#{{ instance.icon }}"></use>
    </svg>
</span>

Running Tests

You can run tests by executing::

virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r tests/requirements.txt
python setup.py test
