Configure custom icons to use for content types.

Custom icons

Customize content type icons

To add custom icons for existing content types or custom content types in [[= product_name =]], use the following configuration under the ibexa.system.<scope>.content_type configuration key:

ibexa:
    system:
        default:
            content_type:
                article:
                    thumbnail: /assets/images/custom_icon.svg#custom

Place the icon in public/assets/images and run yarn encore <dev|prod> after adding it.

!!! note "Icons format"

To ensure proper display in the back office, all icons should have SVG format with `symbol`.

If you want to configure icons per SiteAccess, see Icon sets.

To see more configuration options, see icon sizes.

Access icons in Twig templates

Content type icons are accessible in Twig templates via the ibexa_content_type_icon function. It requires content type identifier as an argument. The function returns the path to a content type icon.

<svg class="ibexa-icon ibexa-icon-{{ content.contentType.identifier }}">
    <use xlink:href="{{ ibexa_content_type_icon(content.contentType.identifier) }}"></use>
</svg>

Access icons in JavaScript

Content types icons configuration is stored in a global object: ibexa.adminUiConfig.contentTypes.

You can retrieve the icon URL with the getContentTypeIcon helper function that is set on the global ibexa.helpers.contentType object. It takes content type identifier as an argument and returns one of the following items:

  • URL of a specified content type's icon
  • null if there is no content type with specified identifier

Example with getContentTypeIcon:

const contentTypeIconUrl = ibexa.helpers.contentType.getContentTypeIconUrl(contentTypeIdentifier);
return (
   <svg className="ibexa-icon">
       <use xlinkHref={contentTypeIconUrl} />
   </svg>
)

Icons React component

You can use a React component to change icons in back office and Page Builder.

The following example from the alert.js file shows configuration for icons in the alert component:

<div className={className} role="alert">
    <Icon name={iconName} customPath={iconPath} extraClasses="ibexa-icon--small ibexa-alert__icon" />
    <div className={contentClassName}>
        {title && <div className="ibexa-alert__title">{title}</div>}
        {subtitle && <div className="ibexa-alert__subtitle">{subtitle}</div>}
    <div className="ibexa-alert__extra_content">{children}</div>
    </div>
        {showCloseBtn && (
            <button
                className="btn ibexa-btn ibexa-btn--ghost ibexa-btn--small ibexa-btn--no-text ibexa-alert__close-btn"
                onClick={onClose}>
                <Icon name="discard" extraClasses="ibexa-icon--tiny-small" />
            </button>
        )}
</div>

Icon component has three attributes (called props):

  • customPath - a path to the custom icon
  • name - the path is generated inside the component provided you use icon from the system
  • extraClasses - additional CSS classes, use to set for example, icon size.

Icon sets

You can configure icon sets to be used per SiteAccess:

ibexa:
    system:
        <siteaccess>:
            assets:
                icon_sets:
                    my_icons: /assets/images/icons/my_icons.svg
                    additional_icons: /assets/images/icons/additional_icons.svg
                default_icon_set: my_icons
