Calendar and Font Awesome - no icons

[RGN01]

@BKeyport Thank you - perhaps that is my path of least resistance - reinstall MM.

I’ll give that a go on the weekend, if I don’t figure this out before.

@RGN01 what version are you running?
see the startup messages or the top of package.json

[RGN01]

@sdetweil thanks for your reply.

	"name": "magicmirror",
	"version": "2.23.0",

@RGN01 so reinstalling won’t help … as u have the latest

how did u install?? manual??

do this , reinstall the fonts

cd ~/MagicMirror/fonts
rm -rf node_modules
rm package-lock.json
npm install 

then try MM again

[RGN01]

@sdetweil Thank you. I have done the font reinstall and rebooted. Still the same, unfortunately.

When you said “then try MM again” did you mean reinstall or just see if it works?

[sdetweil]

@RGN01 just see if it works

[RGN01]

@sdetweil Thanks for clarifying. Unfortunately, no, it did not.

[sdetweil]

@RGN01 ok, lets open the developers window (ctrl-shift-i on the MM keyboard) , select the elements tab , select the pointer top left and use the mouse to position over the icon in the 1st element
see where its looking

@sdetweil Thank you so much for your assistance - I really do appreciate it!

        {keyword: 'Recycling', symbol: 'fas fa-house', color: 'Red'},
        {keyword: 'Rubbish', symbol: 'fas fa-person', color: 'Gold'}
		],
        calendars: [
          {
            url: 'https://calendar.google.com//Calendar1Redacted/basic.ics',
            symbol: 'fa-house',
          },

It is matching to the ‘Rubbish’ keyword.

@RGN01 said in Calendar and Font Awesome - no icons:

 {keyword: 'Recycling', symbol: 'fas fa-house', color: 'Red'},
    {keyword: 'Rubbish', symbol: 'fas fa-person', color: 'Gold'}

there is the problem…

u need to split the class and the symbol

                symbol: 'person',
                symbolClassName: "fas fa-fw fa-",

the system appends the symbol name TO the classname

here is the default value
defaultSymbolClassName: “fas fa-fw fa-”,

so, if it doesn’t need to be different (paid for icons use a different prefix)
then don’t set it…

and U can set the prefix (classname) once per calendar in the list of calendars
symbolClassName: “fas fa-fw fa-”,

NOT on every symbol entry
