Thank you for the response!

So I am a bit lost. I tried pages and after figuring out the “fixed” vs. “pages” bit, I can’t seem to change the page-indicators to buttons.

The only thing I found was this:

.MMM-page-indicator div.module-content div i:nth-child(2)::before {
    content: "\f055";  // <-- icon code goes here
    font-family: FontAwesome;
}

As a newbie, “code goes here” leaves me grasping. Does your link have another solution or is there somewhere I can complete the content?

Other than that, I saw someone basically created a custom button module to do the same.

@reverendz sorry you didn’t get the link to the link

Thank you. I got the link and I still don’t get it.

I am lost. The icons that show up look like standard MMM-page-indicator buttons.

I added this based on the image, but it probably doesn’t apply since I’m not using the posters icons.

/* MMM-page-indicator config to turn indicator into buttons */
.MMM-page-indicator div module-content div i:nth-child(1):: before { 
font-size: 20px; content: "\f073"; font-family: FontAwesome;
}
.MMM-page-indicator div module-content div i:nth-child(2):: before { 
font-size: 20p; content: "\f2c9"; font-family: FontAwesome;
}
.MMM-page-indicator div module-content div i:nth-child(3):: before { 
font-size: 20px; content: "\f1b9"; font-family: FontAwesome;
}
.MMM-page-indicator div module-content div i:nth-child(4):: before { 
font-size: 20px; content: "|f70c"; font-family: FontAwesome;
}
.MMM-page-indicator div module-content div i:nth-child(5):: before { 
font-size: 20px; content: "\f19d"; font-family: FontAwesome;
}
.MMM-page-indicator div.module-content div i:nth-child(6)::before { 
font-size: 20px; content: " flea";
font-family: FontAwesome;
}
.MMM-page-indicator div module-content div i:nth-child(7):: before { 
font-size:20px; content: "\f03d"; font-family: FontAwesome;
}
.MMM-page-indicator div module-content div i:nth-child(8)::before { 
font-size: 20px; content: "\e5ac" font-family: FontAwesome;
}
.MMM-page-indicator div module-content div i:nth-child(9):: before { 
font-size: 20px; content: "\f5ee"; font-family: FontAwesome;
}
.MMM-page-indicator div module-content div i:nth-child (10): :before { 
font-size: 20px; content: " f013"; font-family: FontAwesome;
}

I just have 3 pages I want to cycle through that coincide with the EXT3 calendar this month, next month and the one after.

What am I missing?

[sdetweil]

@reverendz so those are the fonticon numbers for different icons

all that stuff went in custom.css right?

[reverendz]

@sdetweil Yep!

They don’t show up anywhere. Which means I likely missed something major.

I see the regular dots.

[sdetweil]

@reverendz see the second link in my signature below on how to use the dev window

[reverendz]

@sdetweil

Sure, I’ve been looking at that already.

I figured out I had formatting error.

So I fixed it and now I see icons.

However, they’re still not clickable and do nothing. Fixed the formatting. Now I have a bunch of icons the previous poster mentioned.

.MMM-page-indicator div.module-content div i:nth-child(1)::before { 
        font-size: 20px;

@reverendz I pasted your def into my custom.css and the icons showed and I can click them

[reverendz]

@sdetweil

I don’t know what to do then. It’s 100% not working.

I added buttons to a separate module in another region and those work. I can click on calendar events, but those items show up but aren’t clickable.

.MMM-page-indicator div.module-content div i:nth-child(1)::before { 
        font-size: 20px; 
        content: "\f015"; 
        font-family: FontAwesome;
}

.MMM-page-indicator div.module-content div i:nth-child(2)::before { 
        font-size: 20px; 
        content: "\f04e"; 
        font-family: FontAwesome;
}

.MMM-page-indicator div.module-content div i:nth-child(3)::before { 
        font-size: 20px; 
        content: "\f04e"; 
        font-family: FontAwesome;
}

.MMM-page-indicator div.module-content div i:nth-child(4)::before { 
        font-size: 20px; 
        content: "\f04e"; 
        font-family: FontAwesome;
}

Can you provide a simple example like what I have above and how it ties to mmm-page-indicator?

I can only think that this css is providing buttons but they’re not tied to something?
