    Font Awesome Icon in RTE v10+

    I know this isn't an original post, asking about how to get Font Awesome Icons in the tinyMCE RTE. I've seen this asked and answered on this forum multiple times over. But, the most recent answer does not work for me.

    This is for a v10.3 site...

    I have this in my appsettings.json under Umbraco > CMS >:

    "RichTextEditor": {
      "ValidElements": "+a[id|style|rel|data-id|data-udi|rev|charset|hreflang|dir|lang|tabindex|accesskey|type|name|href|target|title|class|onfocus|onblur|onclick|ondblclick|onmousedown|onmouseup|onmouseover|onmousemove|onmouseout|onkeypress|onkeydown|onkeyup],+i[class|style],-strong/-b[class|style],-em[class|style],-strike[class|style],-u[class|style],#p[id|style|dir|class|align],-ol[class|reversed|start|style|type],-ul[class|style],-li[class|style],br[class],img[id|dir|lang|longdesc|usemap|style|class|src|onmouseover|onmouseout|border|alt=|title|hspace|vspace|width|height|align|umbracoorgwidth|umbracoorgheight|onresize|onresizestart|onresizeend|rel|data-id],-sub[style|class],-sup[style|class],-blockquote[dir|style|class],-table[border=0|cellspacing|cellpadding|width|height|class|align|summary|style|dir|id|lang|bgcolor|background|bordercolor],-tr[id|lang|dir|class|rowspan|width|height|align|valign|style|bgcolor|background|bordercolor],tbody[id|class],thead[id|class],tfoot[id|class],#td[id|lang|dir|class|colspan|rowspan|width|height|align|valign|style|bgcolor|background|bordercolor|scope],-th[id|lang|dir|class|colspan|rowspan|width|height|align|valign|style|scope],caption[id|lang|dir|class|style],-div[id|dir|class|align|style],-span[class|align|style],-pre[class|align|style],address[class|align|style],-h1[id|dir|class|align|style],-h2[id|dir|class|align|style],-h3[id|dir|class|align|style],-h4[id|dir|class|align|style],-h5[id|dir|class|align|style],-h6[id|style|dir|class|align|style],hr[class|style],small[class|style],dd[id|class|title|style|dir|lang],dl[id|class|title|style|dir|lang],dt[id|class|title|style|dir|lang],object[class|id|width|height|codebase|*],param[name|value|_value|class],embed[type|width|height|src|class|*],map[name|class],area[shape|coords|href|alt|target|class],bdo[class],button[class],iframe[*],figure,figcaption]",
      "CustomConfig": {
        "style_formats": "[{\"title\":\"Headers\",\"items\":[{\"title\":\"Heading h1\",\"block\":\"h1\"},{\"title\":\"Heading h2\",\"block\":\"h2\"},{\"title\":\"Heading h3\",\"block\":\"h3\"},{\"title\":\"Heading h4\",\"block\":\"h4\"},{\"title\":\"Heading h5\",\"block\":\"h5\"},{\"title\":\"Heading h6\",\"block\":\"h6\"}]}]"
      }
    }
    

    If it helps this is the FA icon code I'm trying to insert via the RTE: <i class="fa-solid fa-binoculars"></i>

    Have you added the font awesome CSS file to the list of CSS files used by the rte?

    @HuwReddick thanks for the response! I didn't originally, but based on your suggestion I added the FA CSS to the RTE. That did not resolve the issue.

    Seems unlikely that the CSS file would have any bearing on "ValidElements". In older versions of Umbraco it wasn't necessary to add the FA CSS to the RTE. In older versions you just had to modify the tinymceconfig.config file. From my reading it seems that config is now handled by appsettings.json, but I haven't found the proper config settings to make it work.

    Hi bh

    TinyMce will turn i tags into ems by default, it's a while since I looked at this but

    do you need to add

     i[class]
    

    into your list of valid elements in appsettings?

    regards

    Marc

    From his original post it appears to be in the list which is why I suggested adding the CSS file

    @MarcGoodson thanks for your response.

    I've tried +i[class|style] and -i[class|style] and i[class|style] and i[class]. None of those worked.

    Hi bh,

    This is what I have in my validElements +i[class|style] and it works fine

    If you do a view source code for your RTE is the <i class="fa-solid fa-binoculars"></i> being removed, or is it just not appearing in the UI?

    IIRC you should be adding <i class="fa fa-solid fa-binoculars"></i> for the icons to render

    Sorry! just searched for ,i[class] didn't think about the + (thanks @Huw!)

    I always get confused by the + in front, think it means it's ok to make the element open when there is no child node!

    so what you have @bh looks right!

    I've taken the valid elements string above and cut and paste it into the appsettings of a V10.6.1 site I have locally

    enter image description here

    and it's completely fine with me adding an <i icon when I save and publish the page and go back, the <i element is retained.

    <p>hell world <i class="fa-solid fa-binoculars"></i></p>
    

    But if I pasted it outside of paragraph tags

    <p>hell world</p>
     <i class="fa-solid fa-binoculars"></i>
    

    Then it gets replaced with

    <p>hell world</p>
    <p>.</p>
    

    That might be something to do with forcedrootblock being set to p, I don't know if I am seeing a different thing to you?

    That is it I think Marc, I get the same if added outside of a containing element.

    I can submit <p><i class="fa-solid fa-binoculars"></i></p> in my RTE. View source after the submit and it's blank. The OP "ValidElements" are my current settings.

    Not sure if this is your problem, but you appear to have a stray ] at the end of your valid elements string

    @HuwReddick thanks again. I noticed that earlier and cleaned that up. Unfortunately, that didn't fix the issue.

    Not sure what else to suggest I'm afraid.
