Comment 4 Jonathan Druart 2015-10-01 11:27:47 UTC
I think this needs small tweaks.
For instance, compare the "+" icon on /cgi-bin/koha/serials/serials-home.pl
Before this patch, it was correctly aligned, now it's not.

There are certainly some others I have not found.
I also tested for a few minutes.

I think we need either another signoff (the tester must test a lot of pages and compare them with master) or wait for the beginning of the next release cycle.

Feature, not a bug!
Comment 11 Josef Moravec 2015-10-23 06:40:40 UTC
There are still some Glyphicons, probably from recent development in these files:

koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/labels/label-edit-batch.tt
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/labels/label-manage.tt
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/patroncards/edit-batch.tt
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/patroncards/image-manage.tt
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/patroncards/manage.tt

koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/includes/labels-toolbar.inc
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/includes/patroncards-toolbar.inc

Maybe we should update Coding Guidelines, what do you think?

[PASSED QA] Bug 14915 - Use Font Awesome instead of Glyphicons for the staff intranet

We should be using Font Awesome for our icons instead of Glyphicons, for
the reasons discussed on bug 13696.

Test Plan:
1) Apply this patch
2) Note all Glyphicons have been replaced with FA icons in the staff intranet
3) git grep "icon-" ./koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/
   should give no results
4) git grep "icon-" ./koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/includes/
   should give no results

We need a follow-up to cover the files changes since this
patch was written. Especially to cover the changes in the
label creator modules.

Bug 14915: QA Follow-up - Replace fa-remove-sign with fa-times-circle

Noticed that an icon was missing in the templates.

Replaced fa-remove-sign with same-looking fa-times-circle.

Bug 14915: QA Follow-up - Replace fa-hdd with fa-save

Alternative patch to using hdd-o.

As the Font Awesome Icon is different to what we used before,
an alternative could be switching back to the 'classic' symbol
for save.

Bug 14915: QA Follow-up - Replace fa-zoom-in and fa-zoom-out

Same icons don't appear to exist for Font awesome.
Replaced with fa-folder and fa-folder-open for now.

Another icon that doesn't quite exist in Font Awesome -
this is starting to get a bit troublesome.

Bug 14915: [FA 4.4] QA Follow-up - Replace fa-hold with fa-sticky-note-o

Ok, this is a fun one: There is no icon like our current hold icon
in Font Awesome. So I picked fa-sticky-note-o for a replacement.

But since this is a new one, it doesn't exist in Koha yet.
I found no better match and the patch was already written...

Bug 14915: QA Follow-up - Replace fa-time with fa-clock-o

Icon looks almost the same, just has a different name.
Comment 22 Katrin Fischer 2015-10-25 22:28:07 UTC
Some comments about this:

- It looks like the patch assumed that the file names from Glyphicons and Font Awesome would match. They do not. This led to a bit of silliness in QA follow-ups... (7).

- Not always there is an equivalent icon available in Font Awesome. I have tried to pick an icon close to our original one or come up with a good alternative suggestion - the ones that changed most would be (Glyphicon name): hdd, zoom-in, zoom-out, hold.

- Especially hold is a hard one - the best I could come up with was sticky-note-o. But then I learned that this was only added in Font Awesome 4.4, while bug bug 13696 adds 4.3. The patch is marked - the result is the same with and without the patch currently - no icon shown.

- The git grep ... statements given in the first patch now come back 'non-empty' - as we have added more icons with some of the new features being pushed. Most of the files seem to belong to the label creators. It would be good to follow-up on those and others before release.

I like that the Font Awesome Icons look nicer - less pixelated than our current ones, especially if you zoom in. But there are some catches like that we have to replace some of the icons. Leaving to RM for final decision and review/pushing back to QA :)

My recommendation would be to update to 4.4 (makes sense to start with the newest set) and to do follow-ups once the new features have been pushed to fix the remaining or newly introduced icons.
Comment 23 Kyle M Hall 2015-10-26 16:54:26 UTC
I've added a followup to Bug 13696 to upgrade FA to 4.4.0!

Bug 14915: (follow-up) [FA 4.4] (QA followup) Replace fa-hold with fa-sticky-note-o

Reported on bug 15186.

Test plan:
Do a search on the staff interface
You will get an error in the console and the image + checkboxes are not
display.

With this patch it will be fixed.
