Can you add support for icon styles?

 

[Xon]

It supports whatever <xf:fa icon="..." /> supports

Yeah that's what I assumed but running into problems.

I can do this in a template no problem:

<xf:fa icon="fad fa-gamepad-alt" />

But when I put in fad fa-gamepad-alt in the field I get this:

Thank you for that!

I'm not sure if it's working properly. I'm putting in fad in the field, but its including fas as well, overriding it.

Try disabling the option Font awesome icons for unread nodes are solid (that should have been disabled by default)

I'd like to switch to using this add-on from another. The only thing missing that I require is the ability to show sub-nodes in columns. Is this something you would be interested in adding?

For instance I set...
Column Count: 3

And additional css is applied. Similar to...

.node .node-columns {
    padding: 0px 10px 10px 46px;
}
.node .node-columns .node-subNodesColumns ol.node-subNodeFlatList {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
    grid-column-gap: 6px;
}

I find columns more visually appealing when there are numerous (8+) sub-nodes.
