[bug?] Form icons don't show in every template. SOLVED

[batonac]

I'm honestly not sure if this is a bug in Fabrik or in the T3 Template engine... For some reason, the 'Add Entry' button beside a dropdown list in a form doesn't have any icon (just a thin button outline) when using the T3 blank template, even though other buttons show up fine. I just tried switching to Gantry and it magically appeared.

Yeah seems we weren't using the right icon, that should be fixed now. Each bootstrap template may decide to change the font set it uses and they don't all seem to follow exactly the same naming conventions!

Ok so I'm learning a lot about bootstrap icon themes... Further experience showed that even Gantry had issues with some icons.

Most issues seem to be fixed after adding

@import "jui/less/icomoon.less";

below

@import "jui/less/font-awesome.less";

in gantry's global.less

I found this tip in a google forum post here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/gantry-framework-for-joomla-users/1cEM8RhZrBg

Thanks for your helpful explanation rob!

Thanks for reporting back.

I think you should place it above though? That way the gantry icons, if present, are used over the icomoon icons?

Good advice. I'll do. Thanks!

Arg. The font-awesome shipped with Gantry seems to have issues. icon-remove simply won't show. Leaving icomoon.less below font-awesome.less seems to be the best workable solution for now.
