Adding an ICON to Menu

[Brad (SaneChoice Limited)]

Hi All,

Been messing around with this for a while but it's not working.  Time to as k the experts!!

I have a hook that displays LOGIN only when people are logged out. However, I want to add a Font Awesome icon to the menu item.

This is the current code:

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaPrimaryNavbar', 1, function(MenuItem $primaryNavbar)
{
   $client = Menu::context('client'); 

   if (is_null($client)) {
	   
	   $primaryNavbar->addChild('Login')
        ->setUri('https://www.webssiteking.com/clientarea.php/')
        ->setOrder(70);
   }
	
});

I tried adding the below but that just causes the menu item to disappear altogether!

->setIcon('fa-shopping-cart');

So, if I want to add an icon next to a menu created in a hook, how should one do this?

Thanks in advance.

Brad

There's a setIcon method to apply to get what you need:

https://docs.whmcs.com/classes/7.6/WHMCS/View/Menu/Item.html

After having set setIcon method, you can check all the attributes of the menu item tto see how and why it's not working (I guess you need to setup both icon and label...)

Hi @sanechoice,

When using the setIcon() method, do ensure that you're including the full font awesome class.

For example:

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaPrimaryNavbar', 1, function(MenuItem $primaryNavbar)
{
   $client = Menu::context('client'); 

   if (is_null($client)) {
	   
	   $primaryNavbar->addChild('Login')
           ->setUri('https://www.webssiteking.com/clientarea.php/')
           ->setIcon('fas fa-shopping-cart');
           ->setOrder(70);
   }
	
});

I have not tested this, and this example was provided personally by myself to assist you in resolving the issue.

Let me know if you still run in to any issue.

Thanks Guys.  But still not joy. 

I used @WHMCS Peter's code and, again, the menu item disappears the minute I add this line:

->setIcon('fas fa-shopping-cart');

As soon as I remove that line, the LOGIN text menu appears again.

Any ideas?

don't worry, i'm here - beware of pale imitations leading you up the wrong garden path.

<?php

use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;

add_hook('ClientAreaPrimaryNavbar', 1, function(MenuItem $primaryNavbar) {

	$client = Menu::context('client'); 
	if (is_null($client)) {
		$primaryNavbar->addChild('Login', array(
			'label' => Lang::trans('Login'),
			'icon' => 'fa-lock',
			'uri' => 'clientarea.php',
			'order' => 70,
		));
	}
});

you shouldn't need to unless you're using something other than FAS - but throw it in if you think you need to.

I hope this isn't a sign of the future with Support staff posting code but then immediately disclaiming it... 🙄
