XF Tutorial [cXF] Thread prefix icons

Would you like to customize your prefixes?

Here's a simple DIY tutorial as an example. Of course, you can extend it for your own needs as you wish.

So, read this tutorial to achieve something like this :

1. Create your custom prefix

In admin CP go to Forums > Thread prefixes and click on button Add prefix on the right top side.

Fill the form like this :

cXF Thread prefix icons-1.webp


You can choose any prefix name you want, just change pack-a with your desired name.

* dont' forget to select applicable forums at the bottom

2. Add code to your extra.less template

Open you extra.less template and add the code :

LESS:
You must log in to view
(14 lines)
LESS:
You must log in to view
(15 lines)

For different prefix name just change pack-a in the code.

To edit prefix when hover check class &:hover.

To edit prefix icon check class &:before. To change the Font Awesome icon edit the word cogs (in above example) with any other icon name.

Want a Pro icon of a specific style?

If you want an icon with one of the Font Awesome 5 Pro styles - light, solid or duotone - use the above code like this (example): .m-faContent(@fa-var-duotone-sign-in);. As you can see, you add the style name (in that case duotone) inside the code right after the var-.
Edit .m-faBase(); and change it to .m-faBase('Pro', @faWeight-solid);, .m-faBase('Pro', @faWeight-regular); or .m-faBase('Pro', @faWeight-light);.

Want a Brand icon?

In XenForo 2.3 you don't need to specify the Brands icon. Use the code as you would for any other icon.
Edit .m-faBase(); and change it to .m-faBase('Brands');.

Want to show only icon without text in thread prefix?

Use this example code :

LESS:
You must log in to view
(25 lines)
LESS:
You must log in to view
(26 lines)

That's basically it. To add more custom prefixes just go through the above procedure for each prefix.
