FontAwesome Icons

Note: The FontAwesome extension is no longer needed when a course is using the Salsa theme within a course, as this has now been incorporated within the Salsa theme by default and requires no additional set up as to allow FontAwesome icons to be used within the course.

Note: If the course is using the basic theme the font awesome extension will need to be added as to include the FontAwesome icons within the course.

What it does:

The Font Awesome icons extension allows for font awesome icons to be used through the course within text areas that have access to an editor. 

How to enable it:

• Go to extensions
• Search for - FontAwesome Icons
• Click the Add button

Configuring the FontAwesome Icons extension:

There is very little configurations involved with the FontAwesome icon extension, the only option that is available within the extension is to set the version of FontAwesome that you would wish to use.

The following versions of FontAwesome are available to select:

Version:

• v4.7.0
• v5.8.1
• v6

Note: The editor within the adapt builder would use version - v5.8.1 - of FontAwesome.

Adding FontAwesome Icons within a course:

To use the fontawesome icons throughout your course, the icons would need to be added to a text box that has the editor available within it(as shown below):

Within the editor a fontawesome icon can be added by clicking on the "source" button and pasting the HTML for the icon within the text box, as shown below:

Once the source option is disabled you will see that the icon has been added within the text box, as can be seen below:
