professionalwiki / fontawesome Goto Github PK

I'm not sure the scope of this request so feel free to ignore if it's too much work - I use a lot of FontAwesome on my wiki but only a couple total icons. If possible I'd prefer to only make users load the icons I actually use. When searching for ways to do this I found this repo - https://github.com/johnsmclay/icnfnt. Currently I'm not using this extension and instead I just add icons via ::before and ::after pseudoelements but if I could import fewer total glyphs I'd definitely switch all my usage to this extension.

I'd ideally prefer to specify imported glyphs via a mediawiki-namespace or have the extension track usage from the parser function in an internal table, but doing it via a localsetting would also work fine (in my particular use case on Gamepedia I need someone with higher privileges to update localsettings changes, and it would be nice to not require this for any wikis with admins without backend access in general, but it's probably significantly easier to do via a localsetting and that tradeoff is probably worth it).

Also if you know of a non-extension way to achieve this with just css let me know!

This should be done as part of a new major version of this extension and will most likely involve replacing FA 5.x, not supporting both.

• Run CI on GitHub Actions
• Raise PHP requirement
• Raise MediaWiki requirement
• Fix any PHP deprecations caused by newer versions of MW

To be done before #8.

I tried {{#fab:wikipedia-w}} or {{#fab:google}} but they did not show up in my present version (1.0). (https://www.univie.ac.at/rel_jap/an/Spezial:Version)

Other icons such as {{#fas:Times}} do work.

Files for fonts (extenstions/FontAwesome/.../webfonts/fa-brands-400-eot etc.) seem to be present though.

See: https://www.univie.ac.at/rel_jap/an/Metalog:Sandkiste

Ref: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Vqk4miw736ggtjwn

This is the latest FA 5.x version.

To be done in a 1.x release of this extension, before doing #8.

Is there a recommended way to make an icon from this extension accessible to people using screen readers, so that it reads some text instead of ignoring the icon? This is probably a question with a very simple answer so apologies in advance!

At the moment i the icons are black. Is it possible to colorize them and adjust the size as with the ckeditor-FA-plugins . At the moment i prefer to load the Fa-all.css from the web which allows that.

Hello,

I'm quite new to MediaWiki, and I'm currently trying to set up a wiki.
I installed the FontAwesome extension, using Composer, and it works fine on my main Wiki style (Vector). But I also have the MobileFrontend extension installed with MinervaNeue skin. And on the mobile version of the wiki, the icons are not showing up...
Am I doing something wrong, or is there an issue somewhere ?
I've tried both renderers without any change.

You can check an exemple of an icon use on this page on my wiki : https://wiki.penspinning-france.fr/Modèle:Information (click "Version mobile" on the bottom of the page to switch to mobile display and see the icon vanish).

The additionnal configuration I have in my LocalSettings.php is as follows :

wfLoadSkin( 'MinervaNeue' );
wfLoadExtension( 'MobileFrontend' );
$wgMinervaAlwaysShowLanguageButton = false;

wfLoadExtension( 'Scribunto' );
$wgScribuntoDefaultEngine = 'luastandalone';

$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['deletelogentry'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['deleterevision'] = true;

$wgFileExtensions[] = 'svg';
$wgSVGConverter = 'ImageMagick';

wfLoadExtension( 'ParserFunctions' );

$wgFavicon = "$wgResourceBasePath/resources/assets/logo_120x120.png";

$wgCategoryCollation = "uca-fr";

wfLoadExtension( 'Cite' );

wfLoadExtension( 'FontAwesome' );

Thanks for your help!
