Hello Gilles,

I'm sorry but the URL you have provided is not valid. I get 404 Page not found.

You have to login. But you don't need to use my site to recreate the issue. Try it on your site.... just use the component which lists subscriptions for you (as a user of the site) and you'll see what I mean.
Screenshot included.

Hello Gilles,

You can go to this file: ../components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/subscription/default.php and edit line 20:

<i class="fa fa-globe"></i>


Hope this helps.

Thanks Nick,
I'd rather not change the code as updates will wreak havoc.
Instead, may I suggest StackIdeas change the code to use a diff class that we Admins could change via CSS?
In other words, refrain from using a fa icon, instead, using a local image pointed to via a css class.
Don't you agree this would be simple for you to implement and we would all benefit from the added flexibility ? no html overrides, no messing around with EB code.

Hi Gilles,

Thank you for your kind feedback. We will add this into our consideration will try to improve this with the future release of easyblog. In the meantime you can use template override to make permanent customization on your easyblog component without having the need to replace the modification for each update. You can refer to our documentation here on how to do template overriding, http://stackideas.com/docs/easyblog/administrators/customizations/template-overridden .

Thanks. The problem with the override is that if EB creates an updated php file wireframe/subscription/default.php,
the override will supersede the update and the site won't benefit from changes.

Will you be adding this to .20?

No unfortunately we would not be changing them on .20 as I really don't see a point of changing the icon simply because you do not know how to use font icons.

Mark,
You missed the point. If you re-read my post, you'll see it has nothing to do with "not knowing how to use font-icons".
Moving on.

Based on your response above, I believe you did highlight that you want to alter these using css. With font icons, you could also alter it with css and no html codes / modifications are necessary
