Font Awesome Manager 1.2.7

[Deleted member 184953]

Disable the addon and try again?

 

[Narayana Reddy]

Thanks for reply @Old Nick , Disabled the addon and rebuild the master data at /install. Still having the same issue.

 

[Narayana Reddy]

purging the cache sorted the issue. Sorry for the trouble. @Old Nick and @Kirby

I don't understand... why would you need to disable the add-on before upgrading?

I don't remember this step suggested in the past

Re: xenForo 2.3

• The addon is not required
• It is not necessary
• The author has advised to uninstall it
• It might cause issues
• XenForo advised to disable addons before upgrade

@Mr Lucky give me more reasons..

I didn't find the exact solution when searching this thread for "No such file or directory", so I'm sharing some info in case someone else comes across this in the future.

Font Awesome Subset Rebuild

I'm on Almalinux 9, with Centmin mod (CMM). Recently updated from CentOS 7.

According to this addon's FAQ, you should install pyftsubset via fontTools package. The CMM creator has a guide here for CentOS 7 and EL8, which sets up a virtual environment. It says you can check if it's installed (and the location) with:

updatedb
locate pyftsubset

My output was blank so it seems that it's not installed at all.

Importantly:

you need Python 3 not 2.7 for Fonttools

And it also depends on the version of Fonttools being installed.

@eva2000 says here that you should stick with the virtual environment method, even with EL8. And he just updated the main guide for EL9 too.

For me, I really don't bother installing extra packages on my OS.
I just use this small addon that does its job perfectly.

I'm not stupid, I just didn't read the forum for a long time. )
So, after upgrading to 2.3.0 I should uninstall Kirby's Font Awesome Manager?

 

[Anatoliy]

The author has advised to uninstall it

Oh! Thanks!

I disabled it before upgrading.

@Kirby thank you for releasing this addon. I think it's a nice compliment for one's addons to be made redundant by a new version of Xenforo. It means you provided functionality so good that the XF team decided to incorporate it in to core.

I disabled it before upgrading.

Since the addon is redundant, it should be uninstalled before upgrading XF to 2.3. In future, for a major upgrade such as this, may I recommend making a spreadsheet of all your addons and organising what to do with each of them?

I will also be uninstalling

That is such a great suggestion and with this 2.3 upgrade on my sites was necessary.

Items 2-50 of 105. Too many not to get organised. And lots (many our own) not ready for 2.3, yet.

I did exactly the same thing (but no colors).
Until all say Y in my spread sheet I'm ok with it, I am waiting until all are marked Y.

@Kirby Possible issue with Xon's Alert Improvements: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/alert-improvements-by-xon.146605/post-1710551

 

[Kirby]

Please read the FAQ regarding missing icons and act accordingly.

Tl;Dr The missing icon most likely isn't detected (as a solid icon while the fa weight for the used style is not solid) by the scanner. Manually add it to the appropriate icon list or enable option Automatically add missing icons for some time.

 

[MaximilianKohler]

as a solud icon while the fa weight for the used style is not solid

Is that something Xon could change?

 

[Kirby]

As far as I understood the discussion the icon source is a style property so you should be able to change this as you see fit.

If you want to use an icon in the weight used by the style you might have to use the correct prefix, eg. far for Regular, fal for Light and fas for Solid.
