fontawesome support for version 6 planned?

[mavoIn]

Hello developers,
font awesome released its icon set in version 6 a time ago. Is it planned to update this app and the icon set to the latest version?
Thx mavo

Hi @mavoIn ! The current bottleneck is that the iconpicker js library used (https://github.com/victor-valencia/bootstrap-iconpicker) does not support fontawesome 6 as of now.

Sorry to not have better news for now. Certainly we will be watching the development.

Hi @mavoIn ! Since version 1.1 djangocms-frontend does have an icon plugin that supports fontawesome 6. It includes a migration management command that would automatically upgrade your fontawesome 5 icons from djangocms-icon to fontawesome 6 icons in djangocms-frontend. Maybe that is a solution for you?
