icon block

Hey Joerg,

What kind of icons are you looking for specifically? I’ll see what I can do to get your suggestions in the list of available icons.

We don’t have the functionality in place to allow icon uploading, but you can remove the Icon and add an Image block to upload your own icon.

Hi Rich,

for example sports, championship, teams, people etc.

“We don’t have the functionality in place to allow icon uploading, but you can remove the Icon and add an Image block to upload your own icon.”
How can I do this?

yea, would be great to be able to import our own icon fonts and/or upload svg icons that can be resized and have its colors changed. thanks for this plugin.

Hello Rich, I really would appreciate your answer. Could you please help?
Thanks
Joerg

Hi @jgtba,

What Rich was referring to is uploading an image of your logo using the image block as opposed to uploading a Scalable Vector Graphic to the Icon block. You may be able to use an HTML block and paste in the SVG code to get the icon to appear on your website.

I have gone ahead and created an enhancement/new feature request for the Icon block. Within the request I argue that a user should be able to add custom icons or simply have a larger selection of icons to choose from. This will be a first step to get our developers working on a solution. @fcthiesen Thank you for the input as well. Please feel free to follow along, comment or contribute here:

Hi @jgtba and @fcthiesen,

I wanted to let you know that an option to allow adding additional icons is something that our team is working/experimenting with. We hope to develop a reliable way to accomplish this request and have it released. Just wanted to followup and let you know that your contributions help us grow. I hope to have more progress for you soon.

Best regards,

Anthony

Do you have any ETA on this? don’t believe me, but it’s the only feature I’m waiting to ditch several plugins from my setup…great work by the way. Thank you inadvance.

@ogalinski,

I am glad you are looking forward to this feature. As far as ETA is concerned we try to release a new version every two weeks. We just released V1.16.1 yesterday so we can look forward to the feature in another two weeks unless anything changes.

I encourage you to get a look at the feature on the official GitHub.
