Calendar FontAwesome Icon not displayed

[Tippon]

@Rene1695 How have you got it set up in your config.js? Mine looks like this, and works with my icons:

		coloredText: true,
		customEvents: [
						{keyword: 'Birthday', symbol: 'fa-birthday-cake', color: 'Gold'},
						{keyword: 'Clinic', symbol: 'biohazard', color: 'Silver'},
						{keyword: 'injection', symbol: 'syringe', color: 'Silver'},
						{keyword: 'meds', symbol: 'pills', color: 'Silver'},
						{keyword: 'Scales', symbol: 'weight', color: 'Pink'},
						{keyword: 'pictures', symbol: 'camera', color: 'Pink'},
						{keyword: 'recycling', symbol: 'recycle', color: 'Red'},
						{keyword: 'rubbish', symbol: 'trash-alt', color: 'Red'},
						{keyword: 'live ', symbol: 'music', color: 'Aqua'},
						{keyword: 'gig', symbol: 'music', color: 'Aqua'},
						{keyword: 'delivery', symbol: 'truck', color: 'GreenYellow'},
						{keyword: 'leave', symbol: 'beer', color: 'yellow'},
						{keyword: 'anniversary', symbol: 'beer', color: 'yellow'},
						{keyword: 'a/l', symbol: 'bed', color: 'aqua'}
						],

@Tippon Hi thanks for the reply and sorry for the late answer (I was on holiday a couple of days…)

My config.js looks like this:

// Google Calender
		{
			module: "calendar",
			position: "top_left", // This can be any of the regions. Best results in left or right regions.
			header: "Termine",
			config: {
				colored: true,
				coloredSymbolOnly: true,
				maximumEntries: 7,
				timeFormat: "relative",
				excludedEvents: [],
				calendars: [
					{
						url: "**deleted_url**",
						symbol: 'house-chimney-window',
						color: "rgb(255,204,229)",
						
					},

					{
						url: "**deleted_url**",
						symbol: 'birthday-cake',
						color: "rgb(158,60,23)",
						
					},

					{
						url: "**deleted_url**",
						symbol: 'building',
						color: "rgb(166,133,34)",
							
					},

					{
						url: "**deleted_url**",
						symbol: 'people-roof',
						color: "rgb(68,118,109)",
							
					},
				
					{
						url: "**deleted_url**",
						symbol: 'twitch',
						color: "rgb(143,83,242)",
												
					},
	

						],
					},

Could you try in your setup to use ether the “twitch” or the “YouTube” icon? All other icons are working fine.

@Rene1695 are those icons in the free list or the purchase list?

I think you have to change the class prefix cause it is in the brands section

from the doc

@sdetweil Hey thanks! I think we are on the right track! Is it possible that the description of the symbolClass is out of date?

I tired adding the Facebook logo (as described in the the example) to get a feeling about it. But it is not working.

For the Facebook logo the description says

fab fa-facebook-f 

But when I check this with FontAwesome website it says this for the Facebook logo:

<i class="fa-brands fa-facebook"></i>

So it seems like that something (maybe at FontAwesome) has changed? I am not sure how to set

SymbolClassName

correctly.

I tried:

SymbolClassName = “fab fa-”
SymbolClassName = “fa-brands”

And then for the symbol:

symbol = “twitch”
symbol = “fa-twitch”
symbol = “twitch-f”

None of them are working. Sometimes there is a square. Sometimes the symbol is completely invisible.

@Rene1695 This is currently working for me:

						{keyword: 'leave', symbol: 'beer', color: 'yellow'},
						{keyword: 'anniversary', symbol: 'beer', color: 'yellow'},
						{keyword: 'a/l', symbol: 'brands fa-twitch', color: 'aqua'}
						],
        calendars: [
          {
            symbol: 'brands fa-twitch',
            url: 'https://my calendar link.ics'
          },

Notice the ‘brands fa-twitch’ in the last keyword field, and in the symbols field under calendars. You don’t need them in both places, just whichever one you choose. They work for both options individually :)
