Silverstripe Font Awesome Icon Picker

A Silverstripe Font Awesome Icon Picker:

• Always up to date: We read the yaml from the font awesome repository. Just specify your version and you're read to go.
• Optional on the frontend: We know on the frontend you might like to bundle your own font awesome icons, so you choose if you want us to load them from the CDN.

Options

FontAwesomeIconField:
  version: 4.6.3
  autoload_css: true

Usage

Dataobject/Page

class PageWithIcon extends Page {

    protected static $db = [
        'PageIcon' => 'FontAwesomeIcon',
    ];
    
    public function getCMSFields(){
        $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
        
        $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main', FontAwesomeIconField::create('PageIcon', 'Icon'));
        
        return $fields;
    }

} 

SS Template (if you have other classes to add)

<div>
<strong>Page Icon:</strong> <i class="{$PageIcon.Classes} some-other-class"></i>
</div>

SS Template (if you don't want to customize it)

<div>
<strong>Page Icon:</strong> {$PageIcon}
</div>

silverstripe-fontawesome's Issues

Add support for "latest" as a supported version

This should automatically read from the master branch and pull in the latest copy of the css.

Add a shortcode for icons in html Editor field.

It should convert [fa icon='star' classes='some extra classes'] into <i class="fa fa-star some extra classes"></i>)

Any attributes other than icon or classes should be passed along as is e.g. [fa icon="star" classes="another" title="A star"] would be <i class="fa fa-star another" title="A star"></i>

It should be optional (a register_shortcode option in the yml probably enabled by default)
