Flex Header Icon V16 Prep

Joshua Peters

Greetings all,

I am working my way through all of the steps to prepare for the v16 upgrade and I am currently working on the flex header prep. The documentation says I should replace my custom icons with icons from the  Font Awesome 4.7 library of icons but it does not provide any formatting instructions. The TR_FLEX_HEADER_ELEMENT documentation in the v16 system is the same as v15 (showing the old custom icon section) and doesn't mention the font icons. Is there a specific format for the font icons similar to the "resources\____.png" format of the built-in icons in v15? Is this font already available in v15? Do I have to install the font on my server manually to access it the same way I do my current custom elements?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

    Hi Joshua

    It turns out that you just type in the name of the font character into the ‘web icon’ column in TR_FLEX_HEADER_ELEMENT, without the fa- prefix.   

    The link to the font and instructions on formatting is on the Flex Header Elements page in the v16 documentation (https://www.tessituranetwork.com/Help_System_v160/Tables/TR_FLEX_HEADER_ELEMENT.htm)

    https://fontawesome.com/v4/icons/

    eg I added taxi against one of our elements as a test.  I hope the image comes through!

    The other stumbling block I had was that I didn’t update the new field in security.

    Register the format as follows:

      • Contribution Entry and Order Details: Select your header format in the Header Format of the appropriate user groups in the security application.
      • Constituent Records: Select your header format in the Web Header Format of the appropriate user groups in the security application.
      • QuickSale, Popup Header, and TRBO: Find the ID of the row you created in the Output Formats table in step 1. Populate that ID in the appropriate value in the System Defaults table: QUICKSALE_HEADER, POPUP_HEADER, and/or TRBO_FLEX_HEADER.

    best wishes
