[1] DANIEL:
I have a dnn theme that has the old twitter social ICON rather than the new x.com icon. I have been trying to find how the icon is coded so i can change it in the theme/skin code. Can you look into the files and tell me how it is being done? What files can I share?
[2] GROK:
Understanding the Issue
Based on the screenshots you shared (which appear to be from Chrome DevTools inspecting the Scotomaville DNN theme), the Twitter icon is rendered using Font Awesome (a popular icon font library). Specifically:
- The HTML structure for the icon is something like:
<a href="https://twitter.com/scotomaville" target="_blank" title="Twitter" class="fa fa-twitter"></a>.
- The fa fa-twitter classes pull the old Twitter bird icon from Font Awesome's "brands" set.
- This is styled in your theme's CSS (likely generated from LESS/SCSS), where rules target
.fa-twitterwith properties likefont-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Brands';(or similar, depending on your Font Awesome version). The red highlights in your screenshot point to the class definition and font-family assignment. - The social icons section (under
.social-iconsor similar) includes multiple platforms (e.g., Google+, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.), all using Font Awesome classes.
This is a common setup in DNN skins/themes, where social links are hardcoded or templated in the skin's ASCX files, and styled via CSS/LESS. Since Twitter rebranded to X, the old fa-twitter icon needs to be updated to the new X icon, which is available in Font Awesome 6 as fa-x-twitter (Unicode: \e61b in the brands set).
Your theme seems to use an older Font Awesome version (likely 4 or 5, based on the class naming and structure), so you'll need to:
- Ensure Font Awesome 6 is loaded (or upgrade it).
- Replace the class in the HTML.
- Optionally, add fallback CSS if you can't upgrade the library.
DNN themes don't have direct access to "files" like a traditional web project (they're packaged as ZIP installs), but you can edit them via the DNN admin or by extracting the skin package. No need to share files yet—try the steps below first. If they don't work (e.g., due to theme-specific quirks), share the contents of the files I list at the end.
Step-by-Step Fix
1. Upgrade or Add Font Awesome 6
- Your theme loads Font Awesome via a CDN or local file (check for
<link>tags in the<head>referencingfontawesome.comor similar).
- To add the new X icon, include Font Awesome 6 Brands (free version). Add this to your skin's <head> (in the ASCX file) or DNN's theme settings: `` <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/6.5.1/css/all.min.css" integrity="sha512-DTOQO9RWCH3ppGqcWaEA1BIZOC6xxalwEsw9c2QQeAIftl+Vegovlnee1c9QX4TctnWMn13TZye+giMm8e2LwA==" crossorigin="anonymous" referrerpolicy="no-referrer" /> ` - If your theme uses a local copy, download Font Awesome 6 from fontawesome.com and replace the old files in /Portals/_default/skins/[YourSkinName]/ (e.g., fontawesome.css and .woff2` files). - Test: Open DevTools > Network tab, reload the page, and confirm the new CSS loads without errors.
2. Update the HTML Class for the Icon
- Find the social icons markup (likely in the header/footer ASCX file).
- Change <i class="fa fa-twitter"></i> (or just fa fa-twitter on the <a>) to <i class="fa-brands fa-x-twitter"></i>. - fa-brands specifies the brands font family. - fa-x-twitter is the new class name for the X icon. - Example before/after: ``` <!-- Before --> <a href="https://twitter.com/scotomaville" target="_blank" title="X" class="social-icon fa fa-twitter"></a>
<!-- After --> <a href="https://x.com/scotomaville" target="_blank" title="X" class="social-icon fa-brands fa-x-twitter"></a> `` - Also update the href from twitter.com to x.com for accuracy. - Update the title` attribute to "X" for accessibility.
3. **Handle CSS Fallback (If You Can't Edit
HTML Easily)** - If the HTML is generated dynamically (e.g., via a DNN module or setting), override the icon with CSS pseudo-elements. Add this to your theme's CSS file (e.g., skin.css or a custom LESS file): `` .fa-twitter::before { content: "\e61b" !important; / Unicode for fa-x-twitter / font-family: "Font Awesome 6 Brands" !important; font-weight: 400 !important; / Regular weight for brands / } ` - This swaps the content (the glyph) without touching HTML. Test in DevTools by adding it temporarily to the <style> tag. - If your theme uses Font Awesome 5, you may need to upgrade first, as \e61b` isn't available there.
4. Rebuild and Test in DNN
- Save changes, clear DNN cache (Admin > Site Settings > Advanced > Performance > Clear Cache).
- If using LESS (as your screenshot shows LESS compilation), recompile: Run gulp or your build task if set up, or edit directly in the generated CSS. - Inspect the icon in DevTools: It should now show the black X logo instead of the bird. - Mobile/responsive: Check if media queries affect it (your screenshot shows padding/margins for social icons).
Potential Gotchas
- Font Awesome Version Conflict: If mixing versions, the old
fa-twittermight still pull from FA5. Force the brands family in CSS:font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands' !important;. - DNN-Specific: If social icons come from a module (e.g., "Social Media Links" module), edit the module settings or its template instead of the skin.
- Theme Package: If editing breaks on updates, create a child theme or override in a custom CSS file via DNN's File Management.
Files to Share If This Doesn't Work
If the above doesn't resolve it (e.g., the class isn't fa-twitter, or it's dynamically generated), zip and share these from your DNN installation (/Portals/_default/Skins/[YourSkinFolder]/ or /DesktopModules/ if modular):
- Skin ASCX file (e.g.,
index.ascxorheader.ascx) – Contains the HTML for social links. - Main CSS/LESS file (e.g.,
skin.less,skin.css, orstyles.less) – Shows the.fa-twitterrules. - Any Font Awesome include file (e.g.,
fontawesome.cssor the<head>section frommain.ascx). - Social module template (if used, e.g., from
/DesktopModules/SocialModule/Templates/).
Upload to a service like GitHub Gist or Pastebin, and share the links—I can analyze them directly.
This should get your X icon live quickly. If you run into errors during testing, paste the exact DevTools console output!
[3] DANIEL:
I tried the attach zip. That file type is not allowed. Can I change the font-awesome.css line .fa-twitter:before { content: "\f099"; }
[4] GROK:
Yes, you can modify the font-awesome.css file to update the Twitter icon to the new X icon, but since your theme uses Font Awesome 5.13.1 (which includes the old fa-twitter icon with the Unicode \f099), you'll need to adjust it carefully. The new X icon (fa-x-twitter) is available in Font Awesome 6, and its Unicode is \e61b. However, directly editing the CSS to change the content value is a viable workaround if you can't upgrade to Font Awesome 6 yet.
Steps to Modify
- Locate the Line in
font-awesome.css
- You correctly identified the line: `` .fa-twitter:before { content: "\f099"; } `` - This defines the old Twitter bird icon.
- Update the Content Value
- Change \f099 to \e61b to use the X icon. However, since your current Font Awesome version (5.13.1) doesn't natively include \e61b (it's from FA6), this won't work unless the fa-x-twitter glyph is present in your font files. To proceed: - Option 1: Manual Override with CSS - Add a custom CSS rule to override the existing one without modifying the original file (safer for upgrades): `` .fa-twitter:before { content: "\e61b" !important; font-family: "Font Awesome 6 Brands" !important; / FA6 brands family / } ` - Place this in your theme's BaseTheme.less or a custom CSS file (e.g., custom.css) included after font-awesome.css. This assumes you'll add the FA6 Brands font (see below). - Option 2: Direct Edit - If you must edit font-awesome.css directly, replace the line with: ` .fa-twitter:before { content: "\e61b"; } `` - But this requires the FA6 font files to render correctly, which your current setup lacks.
- Add Font Awesome 6 Brands Font
- Your font-awesome.css references local font files in Resources/fonts/. The current files (fa-brands-400.) are for FA5. To use \e61b, download the FA6 Brands font from fontawesome.com (free version) and replace: - fa-brands-400.eot - fa-brands-400.woff2 - fa-brands-400.woff - fa-brands-400.ttf - fa-brands-400.svg - Update the @font-face block in font-awesome.css to point to FA6 files: `` @font-face { font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Brands'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; font-display: block; src: url("Resources/fonts/fa-brands-400.eot"); / Replace with FA6 version */ src: url("Resources/fonts/fa-brands-400.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-brands-400.woff2") format("woff2"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-brands-400.woff") format("woff"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-brands-400.ttf") format("truetype"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-brands-400.svg#fontawesome") format("svg"); } `` - Alternatively, switch to the CDN version of FA6 (as suggested earlier) to avoid manual font management.
- Test the Change
- Clear your browser cache and DNN cache (Admin > Site Settings > Advanced > Performance > Clear Cache). - Reload the page and inspect the icon in DevTools. If it shows a garbled character or box, the font file update failed—revert and use the CDN approach.
Important Notes
- Risk of Direct Edit: Modifying
font-awesome.cssdirectly can break on theme updates unless you maintain a custom version. Prefer adding a custom CSS override. - Font Family: The
font-family: "Font Awesome 6 Brands"is critical. Your current FA5 setup uses"Font Awesome 5 Brands", so mismatched fonts will break the icon. - File Sharing: Since ZIP uploads aren't allowed, paste the contents of any updated files (e.g., your custom CSS) into a text block or link to a service like Pastebin if you need further help.
Recommendation
For a cleaner solution, use the CDN method from my previous response (include FA6 via <link> tag) and update the HTML class to fa-brands fa-x-twitter in the skin ASCX file. This avoids editing core library files. If you must stick with FA5 and edit CSS, ensure the font files are updated to FA6, or the icon won't render correctly.
Let me know if you hit errors or need the ASCX file analyzed next!
[5] DANIEL:
I have these four files I can work with. Do any of these work for the changes?
[6] GROK:
Based on the four files you provided (scotomaville.base.css, scotomaville.theme.css, scotomaville.base-1.css, and scotomaville.base-2.css), we can determine where and how to update the Twitter icon to the new X icon. Here's the analysis and recommended approach:
Relevant Observations
- Font Awesome Version
- Both scotomaville.base-1.css and the previously shared font-awesome.css include Font Awesome 5.13.1. This version uses fa-twitter with the Unicode \f099 for the old Twitter bird icon. The new X icon (fa-x-twitter, Unicode \e61b) is part of Font Awesome 6, which isn't natively supported here.
- Icon Usage
- The social icons are styled in scotomaville.theme.css under header div.social-icons, which is set to display: block. However, the specific class (fa-twitter) isn't defined in these files—it’s likely inherited from font-awesome.css or a parent CSS file not yet shared. - Your earlier screenshot showed <a href="https://twitter.com/scotomaville" target="_blank" title="Twitter" class="fa fa-twitter">, confirming the use of fa-twitter.
- Editable Files
- scotomaville.theme.css contains theme-specific styles and variable overrides (e.g., colors, font families). This is a good place to add custom CSS overrides. - scotomaville.base-1.css includes the Font Awesome definitions, but modifying it directly isn’t ideal due to potential conflicts with updates. - scotomaville.base-2.css and scotomaville.base.css focus on animations and layout, with no direct reference to social icons.
Recommended Changes
Since you’re limited to these files and can’t upgrade Font Awesome 5.13.1 to 6 directly (due to font file constraints), the best approach is to:
- Add a CSS override in
scotomaville.theme.cssto replace thefa-twittericon with the X icon using a pseudo-element. - This requires the FA6 Brands font (for
\e61b), which you’d need to include separately (e.g., via CDN or updated font files).
Step-by-Step
- Add Font Awesome 6 Brands (Optional but Recommended)
- Since your current font files are FA5, the \e61b Unicode won’t render correctly without FA6.

[8] GROK:
Yes, the scotomaville.ascx file is the skin file where the social icon HTML is defined, making it the ideal place to update the Twitter icon to the new X icon. The current markup uses the old fa-twitter class, which renders the Twitter bird icon from Font Awesome 5.13.1. Since you want to switch to the X icon, you can modify this file directly.
Current Markup
In the scotomaville.ascx file, the social icons are defined within the <div class="social-icons"> section: ``html <div class="social-icons"> <ul class="social-icons social"> <li class="twitter active"><a href="http://x.com/scotomaville" target="_blank" title="Twitter"><em class="fa fa-twitter"></em><span class="btn-text-indent">Twitter</span></a></li> <li class="youtube active"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/c/scotomaville" target="_blank" title="Youtube"><em class="fa fa-youtube"></em><span class="btn-text-indent">Youtube</span></a></li> </ul> </div> ``
- The
<em class="fa fa-twitter"></em>uses thefa-twitterclass, which maps to the old Twitter bird icon (Unicode\f099). - The
hrefis already updated tohttp://x.com/scotomaville, which is correct, but thetitle="Twitter"and icon still reflect the old branding.
Recommended Changes
To update to the X icon, you need to:
- Update the Class to
fa-x-twitter
- Font Awesome 6 introduces fa-x-twitter (Unicode \e61b) for the new X logo. However, your current Font Awesome version (5.13.1) doesn’t include this. To use it, you must either: - Upgrade to Font Awesome 6 (preferred, via CDN or updated font files). - Use a CSS override with the existing fa-twitter class (less ideal, as explained below).
- Modify the ASCX File
- Since you can edit scotomaville.ascx, update the HTML to use the new class. Add the Font Awesome 6 Brands CSS via a <link> tag to ensure the fa-x-twitter icon renders correctly.
Step-by-Step
- Add Font Awesome 6 Brands CSS

[9] DANIEL:
I added the kit to the site headers. How do I get the theme (skin) Tahoe 2 from mandeeps to use the new x icon?
[10] GROK:
Updating the Tahoe 2 Skin to Use the
New X Icon
Great progress adding the Font Awesome kit to your DNN site's Page Output Settings (under Host > SQL > Page Output Settings > HTML Page Header Tags). This loads the latest Font Awesome 6 via CDN site-wide, which includes the new X (Twitter) brand icon (fa-x-twitter). However, the Tahoe 2 skin from Mandeeps is hardcoded to use the old fa-twitter class in its ASCX file, so it won't automatically switch. You'll need to make a few targeted edits to the skin files to override this.
Important Notes Before Starting:
- Backup your skin files first (export the skin ZIP from Admin > Skins > Export Skin or copy from
/Portals/_default/Skins/Tahoe2/). - Clear DNN cache after changes (Admin > Site Settings > Advanced > Performance > Clear Cache).
- Test in a staging site if possible.
- The kit ensures FA6 is available, but Tahoe 2 likely includes its own older FA5 CSS (from your earlier
font-awesome.cssfile). The site-wide kit should take precedence if loaded later, but we'll use a CSS override to be safe.
Step 1: Update the HTML in the Skin's
ASCX File The social icons are defined directly in the scotomaville.ascx file (which seems to be the main skin file for Tahoe 2). This is where the old Twitter markup lives.
- Navigate to Admin > File Management in DNN, go to
/Portals/_default/Skins/Tahoe2/(or your skin's folder), and editscotomaville.ascx(orindex.ascxif named differently—search for "fa-twitter" in files). - Find this section (around line ~50-60, in the
<header>):
``html <div class="social-icons"> <ul class="social-icons social"> <li class="twitter active"><a href="http://x.com/scotomaville" target="_blank" title="Twitter"><em class="fa fa-twitter"></em><span class="btn-text-indent">Twitter</span></a></li> <li class="youtube active"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/c/scotomaville" target="_blank" title="Youtube"><em class="fa fa-youtube"></em><span class="btn-text-indent">Youtube</span></a></li> </ul> </div> ``
- Replace the Twitter
<li>with this (updates class tofa-brands fa-x-twitter, title to "X", and href if needed):
``html <li class="twitter active"><a href="https://x.com/scotomaville" target="_blank" title="X"><em class="fa-brands fa-x-twitter"></em><span class="btn-text-indent">X</span></a></li> ` - fa-brands: Specifies the brands font family (required for FA6 logos). - fa-x-twitter: The new class for the black X icon. - Keep class="twitter active"` for any skin-specific styling (e.g., colors, hover effects).
- Save the file. DNN will reload the skin automatically.
If the social icons are in a separate ASCX (e.g., header.ascx), search for "fa-twitter" across skin files.
Step 2: Add a CSS Override for Compatibility
(If Needed) If the icon doesn't render (e.g., shows a blank square due to FA5 conflicts), add a fallback CSS rule to force the new icon on the old class. This uses the FA6 Unicode \e61b for fa-x-twitter.
- Edit your theme's main CSS file:
/Portals/_default/Skins/Tahoe2/scotomaville.theme.css(orskin.css). - Add this at the end (after the closing
}of the last rule):
```css / Override old Twitter icon to new X / .fa-twitter::before { content: "\e61b" !important; / Unicode for fa-x-twitter / font-family: "Font Awesome 6 Brands" !important; font-weight: 400 !important; / Regular weight for brands / }
/ Ensure brands family loads for the new class / .fa-brands { font-family: "Font Awesome 6 Brands" !important; font-weight: 400 !important; } ```
- Save and clear cache.
- This targets
.fa-twitter(old class) but pulls the X glyph from FA6. - If your kit is v6.5.1+, it includes the brands font automatically.
Step 3: Verify and Troubleshoot
- Reload your site and inspect the icon in Chrome DevTools (right-click icon > Inspect):
- Look for <em class="fa fa-twitter"> (old) or <em class="fa-brands fa-x-twitter"> (new). - In the Computed tab, confirm font-family includes "Font Awesome 6 Brands" and content is \e61b. - If it's a blank box, check the Console for FA loading errors.
- Common Issues & Fixes:
| Issue | Cause | Fix | |-------|-------|-----| | Icon shows as bird or blank | FA5 CSS overriding FA6 | Add !important to the CSS override above, or remove old font-awesome.css include from skin (search ASCX for <link rel="stylesheet" href="...font-awesome.css">). | | Unicode not rendering | Missing brands font | Confirm kit loads (DevTools > Network > search "fontawesome"). If not, use full kit: <script src="https://kit.fontawesome.com/YOUR_KIT_ID.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>. | | Styling broken (size/color) | Skin CSS targets .twitter | Add .twitter .fa-x-twitter { color: inherit; font-size: 1em; } to scotomaville.theme.css. | | Changes not showing | Cache | Clear browser/DNN cache; hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R). | | Social icons from module | Not hardcoded in skin | Check if using a DNN module like "Social Links"—edit its template instead. |
Step 4: Re-Package the Skin (Optional, for Distribution)
If you update the skin for multiple sites:
- Go to Admin > Skins > Import/Export > Export Skin (select Tahoe 2).
- This creates a ZIP—re-import to test.
This should get the X icon displaying cleanly. If you share a screenshot of DevTools inspection after changes (or error logs), I can refine further. For more on FA6 integration, see Font Awesome's X icon docs.
[11] DANIEL:
the scotomaville.ascx file is updated by the Mandeeps Tahoe 2 styleSwitcher. When I enter the link into the social links admin and save, the scotomaville.ascx is overwritten. This means that if anyone changes the social link at any time, then the save overwrites the customization. How do we find where to put the new class="fa-brands fa-x-twitter" so that it is written to the .ascx each time. Here are some of the files for the skin. Line 169 of the .xml file looks promising ' <id>twitter</id>'
[12] GROK:
You're correct that the issue stems from the Mandeeps Tahoe 2 skin's StyleSwitcher dynamically updating the scotomaville.ascx file based on the social links defined in the scotomaville.xml file. When a user edits the social links via the DNN admin interface (e.g., Skin Settings or a custom module), the ASCX file is regenerated, overwriting any manual changes like the fa-brands fa-x-twitter class. This behavior is typical for dynamic skins that rely on XML configuration files to populate content.
The key is to modify the process so the new X icon class is applied automatically when the ASCX is regenerated. Since the social links are managed through the SocialLinks section of scotomaville.xml (line 169, <id>twitter</id>), we need to adjust how the skin interprets or renders this data. Here's how to approach this:
Analysis of the Issue
- Dynamic Generation: The Tahoe 2 skin likely uses a backend script (e.g., in
Home.ascx.csor a module) to parsescotomaville.xmland inject the social link HTML intoscotomaville.ascx. The<LinkItem>with<id>twitter</id>maps to thefa-twitterclass by default, as per Font Awesome 5 conventions. - Font Awesome Kit: You've added the Font Awesome kit to the site headers, providing access to
fa-x-twitter(FA6), but the skin's logic hasn't been updated to use it. - Goal: Ensure the
fa-brands fa-x-twitterclass is used instead offa-twitterwhenever the Twitter link is rendered, without requiring manual ASCX edits that get overwritten.
Solution: Update the Skin's Logic or Mapping
Since the ASCX is overwritten, the change must be made in a file or configuration that influences the rendering process. Here are the steps to locate and modify the appropriate place:
Step 1: Identify the Rendering Logic
- Check the Code-Behind File:
- Open Home.ascx.cs (referenced in scotomaville.ascx with CodeBehind="Home.ascx.cs" Inherits="Mandeeps.DNN.Skins.Tahoe.Home"). - Look for a method that processes the SocialLinks from scotomaville.xml and generates the <ul class="social-icons social"> HTML. This might be in a LoadSkin or RenderSocialLinks function. - Search for a mapping or switch statement that assigns Font Awesome classes based on the <id> (e.g., case "twitter": return "fa fa-twitter";).
- Check the XML Parsing Logic:
- The scotomaville.xml file defines social links with <id> tags (e.g., <id>twitter</id>). The skin likely uses these IDs to look up corresponding Font Awesome classes. This mapping is probably hardcoded in the code-behind or a related module.
- Alternative: Skin Object or Module:
- If no direct code-behind edit is feasible, Tahoe 2 might use a DNN skin object or module (e.g., DesktopModules/SocialModule) to render social icons. Check /DesktopModules/ for a SocialModule or similar folder and inspect its ASCX/CS files.
Step 2: Modify the Class Mapping
Since you can't share Home.ascx.cs yet, the most promising approach is to assume the Twitter ID maps to fa-twitter and update this mapping. Here’s how:
- Option 1: Edit the Code-Behind (
Home.ascx.cs):
- If you find a method like this: ``csharp private string GetIconClass(string socialId) { switch (socialId.ToLower()) { case "twitter": return "fa fa-twitter"; case "youtube": return "fa fa-youtube"; // ... other cases default: return "fa fa-" + socialId; } } ` - Change the twitter case to: `csharp case "twitter": return "fa-brands fa-x-twitter"; `` - Recompile the skin (if required) by re-zipping and importing it via Admin > Skins > Import Skin.
- Option 2: Extend the XML Configuration:
- Add a custom attribute to the <LinkItem> in scotomaville.xml to specify the icon class explicitly. Modify the Twitter entry: ``xml <LinkItem> <name>Twitter</name> <id>twitter</id> <href>http://x.com/scotomaville</href> <enabled>true</enabled> <iconClass>fa-brands fa-x-twitter</iconClass> <!-- New attribute --> </LinkItem> ` - Update the code-behind to read this attribute if present: `csharp private string GetIconClass(string socialId, XElement linkItem) { string customClass = linkItem.Element("iconClass")?.Value; if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(customClass)) return customClass; switch (socialId.ToLower()) { case "twitter": return "fa fa-twitter"; // Fallback case "youtube": return "fa fa-youtube"; // ... other cases default: return "fa fa-" + socialId; } } `` - This requires modifying the skin's source code, which may need Mandeeps support or a custom build.
- Option 3: CSS Override as Fallback:
- If code changes aren’t possible, use a CSS rule to force the X icon on the existing fa-twitter class (as a temporary fix): - Edit scotomaville.theme.css and add: ``css .fa-twitter::before { content: "\e61b" !important; / Unicode for fa-x-twitter / font-family: "Font Awesome 6 Brands" !important; font-weight: 400 !important; } `` - This relies on the Font Awesome kit loading correctly. Test with DevTools to ensure the kit’s CSS precedes the skin’s FA5 CSS.
Step 3: Test and Validate
- Save changes to
scotomaville.xmlor recompile the skin. - Edit a social link in Admin > Site Settings > Skin Settings (or wherever Tahoe 2 manages this), save, and verify the ASCX regenerates with
<em class="fa-brands fa-x-twitter">. - Inspect the icon in DevTools. If it’s still
fa-twitter, the mapping wasn’t updated—proceed to Option 3 or contact Mandeeps for support.
Step 4: Contact Mandeeps (If Needed)
- If the code-behind or module logic isn’t accessible (e.g., compiled DLL), reach out to Mandeeps support. Provide:
- The skin version (2.0.0 from scotomaville.xml). - A request to update the Twitter ID mapping to fa-brands fa-x-twitter in future releases. - A note that the Font Awesome kit is now site-wide, supporting FA6.
Recommended Approach
- Short-Term: Use the CSS override (Option 3) to avoid code changes while testing.
- Long-Term: Modify
Home.ascx.cs(Option 1) or add theiconClassattribute (Option 2) to make the change persistent. ShareHome.ascx.csif possible—I can pinpoint the exact line.
Let me know if you can access the code-behind or need help with the CSS fallback!

Refer to the following content:
[14] GROK:
The scotomaville.xml file is the configuration source for social links in the Tahoe 2 skin. The <id>twitter</id> (around line 169) determines the Font Awesome class used in the generated scotomaville.ascx file—specifically, it maps to class="fa fa-twitter". To ensure the new fa-x-twitter class (from Font Awesome 6) is written to the ASCX every time it's regenerated by the StyleSwitcher, update the XML as follows:
- Open
scotomaville.xmlin a text editor (via DNN's File Management:/Portals/_default/Skins/Tahoe2/scotomaville.xmlor similar path). - Locate the Twitter
<LinkItem>block (starting around line 165):
`` <LinkItem> <name>Twitter</name> <id>twitter</id> <href>http://x.com/scotomaville</href> <enabled>true</enabled> </LinkItem> ``
- Change
<name>Twitter</name>to<name>X</name>(updates the title attribute and any visible text). - Change
<id>twitter</id>to<id>x-twitter</id>(this will generateclass="fa fa-x-twitter"in the ASCX, matching the FA6 class for the X icon). - Save the file.
- Trigger a StyleSwitcher save (e.g., edit any social link in the admin UI and save) to regenerate
scotomaville.ascxwith the new class. - Clear DNN cache (Admin > Site Settings > Advanced > Performance > Clear Cache) and browser cache, then reload the site to verify the X icon appears.
This persists because the XML drives the generation—any future StyleSwitcher changes will use the updated ID. Since your FA6 kit is loaded site-wide, the fa-x-twitter glyph will render correctly (ensure the kit includes the brands set). If the icon doesn't show, add this fallback to scotomaville.theme.css (at the end): `` .fa-x-twitter::before { content: "\e61b" !important; font-family: "Font Awesome 6 Brands" !important; } ``

but in the screen shots you can see the icons are missing - on the web page, and in the social styleswitcher area
[16] GROK:
Great progress! The updated HTML in your scotomaville.ascx file now correctly uses <em class="fa fa-x-twitter"></em> for the X icon, and the Font Awesome 6 kit (https://kit.fontawesome.com/1a12f265f9.js) is loaded in the <head>. However, the icons are missing on the webpage and in the StyleSwitcher area, as shown in your screenshots. Let’s troubleshoot and fix this step-by-step.
Potential Issues and Fixes
Based on the provided content and context, here are the likely causes and solutions:
1. Font Awesome Kit Not Loading Properly
- Cause: The kit script might not be executing correctly due to a loading order issue, network error, or conflict with the skin's local
font-awesome.css(FA5.13.1).
- Check: - Open Chrome DevTools (F12) > Network tab. - Reload the page and look for 1a12f265f9.js (your kit URL). - If it’s red (404) or missing, the kit isn’t loading. - Fix: - Verify the kit ID (1a12f265f9) is correct and active on Font Awesome's dashboard. - Ensure the <script> tag is in the <head> and not blocked by ad blockers or CSP (Content Security Policy). If needed, move it to the bottom of <body> before </body> as a test: ``html <script src="https://kit.fontawesome.com/1a12f265f9.js" crossorigin="anonymous" defer></script> ` - If the local font-awesome.css (FA5) is still included in the skin (e.g., via scotomaville.base-1.css or Home.base.css), it might override the kit. Search scotomaville.ascx or Home.ascx for <link rel="stylesheet" href="...font-awesome.css">` and remove it, relying solely on the kit.
2. Incorrect Class Syntax
- Cause: The class
<em class="fa fa-x-twitter">uses the old FA5 syntax (fa), but FA6 requiresfa-brandsfor brand icons likefa-x-twitter.
- Check: - In DevTools, inspect the <em> element. If the class is still fa fa-x-twitter and shows a blank box, FA6 isn’t applying the brands style. - Fix: - Update the ASCX to use the correct FA6 syntax: ``html <li class="x-twitter active"><a href="http://x.com/scotomaville" target="_blank" title="X"><em class="fa-brands fa-x-twitter"></em><span class="btn-text-indent">X</span></a></li> ` - The fa-brands` prefix tells FA6 to use the brands font family. Save and clear cache to test.
3. CSS Conflict or Styling Issue
- Cause: The skin’s CSS (e.g.,
scotomaville.theme.css) might hide or misstyle the icons, or the Font Awesome kit’s CSS isn’t taking precedence.
- Check: - In DevTools, right-click the missing icon > Inspect. - Look at the Computed tab for font-family. It should include "Font Awesome 6 Brands". If it shows "Font Awesome 5 Free" or nothing, the kit isn’t applying. - Check for display: none or visibility: hidden in the .social-icons or .fa-x-twitter rules. - Fix: - Add a CSS override in scotomaville.theme.css to ensure the icon renders: ``css .social-icons .fa-x-twitter { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 1.5em; / Adjust size if needed / color: #000; / Match your theme color / } .fa-x-twitter::before { content: "\e61b" !important; / FA6 X icon Unicode / font-family: "Font Awesome 6 Brands" !important; } `` - Save and clear cache. This forces the X icon to display even if the kit’s CSS is partially blocked.
4. StyleSwitcher Rendering Issue
- Cause: The StyleSwitcher (managed by
Index.jsandIndex.html) might not reflect the updated XML (<id>x-twitter</id>) or could be using a cached version of the social links.
- Check: - Open the StyleSwitcher UI (likely under Admin > Site Settings > Skin Settings or a custom tab). - Verify the Twitter/X link shows with the correct http://x.com/scotomaville URL. - If the icon is missing there too, the StyleSwitcher might not support FA6 classes dynamically. - Fix: - Ensure scotomaville.xml has <id>x-twitter</id> (as updated earlier): ``xml <LinkItem> <name>X</name> <id>x-twitter</id> <href>http://x.com/scotomaville</href> <enabled>true</enabled> </LinkItem> ` - If the StyleSwitcher still renders fa-twitter, edit Index.js (around line 200-300 where social links are processed) to map x-twitter to fa-brands fa-x-twitter. Look for a function like renderSocialLinks or a loop over $scope.ui.data.SocialLinks` and update the class assignment. - Alternatively, add a global CSS fix (as above) to handle both ASCX and StyleSwitcher rendering.
5. Cache or Server-Side Issue
- Cause: DNN or browser caching might retain the old ASCX or CSS.
- Fix: - Clear DNN cache (Admin > Site Settings > Advanced > Performance > Clear Cache). - Hard refresh the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R). - If using a CDN or proxy, purge the cache there too.
Verification Steps
- Confirm Kit Load:
- DevTools > Network > Check 1a12f265f9.js status (200 OK).
- Inspect HTML:
- Right-click the icon area > Inspect. Ensure <em class="fa-brands fa-x-twitter"> is present.
- Check Computed Styles:
- Verify font-family includes "Font Awesome 6 Brands" and content is \e61b.
- Test StyleSwitcher:
- Edit and save a social link, then check if the icon updates.
Next Steps
- If the icon still doesn’t appear, share a screenshot of the DevTools Network tab (showing the kit load) and the Elements tab (showing the
<em>tag’s computed styles). - If the StyleSwitcher issue persists, provide the exact line from
Index.jswhere social icons are rendered—I can suggest a specific edit.
You’re close! The kit and updated XML should work once these conflicts are resolved. Let me know the results!
[17] DANIEL:
It is loading - correct?
[18] GROK:
Yes, based on the information you provided and the current context, it appears that the Font Awesome kit is loading correctly, but let’s confirm and address any remaining issues. Here’s the analysis and next steps:
Evidence of Loading
- You included
<script src="https://kit.fontawesome.com/1a12f265f9.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>in the<head>of your HTML, which is the correct way to load a Font Awesome kit. - The kit URL (
1a12f265f9.js) is a valid format from Font Awesome’s CDN, and as long as the kit ID (1a12f265f9) is active on your Font Awesome account, it should load the latest version (includingfa-x-twitterfrom FA6).
Verification
To be certain it’s loading:
- Check Network Tab:
- Open Chrome DevTools (F12) > Network tab. - Reload the page (Ctrl+R or Cmd+R). - Filter for 1a12f265f9.js or search "fontawesome". - Look for a 200 OK status. If you see this, the kit is loading successfully. If it’s a 404 or missing, the kit ID might be incorrect or the script is blocked.
- Check Console:
- In DevTools > Console tab, look for errors like "Font Awesome kit failed to load" or "Cross-Origin Request Blocked". If none appear, the kit is likely fine.
- Inspect Element:
- Right-click the icon area > Inspect. - Verify the <em class="fa-brands fa-x-twitter"> tag exists. If it does, the HTML is correct, and the issue is likely styling or font rendering.
Why Icons Might Still Be Missing
Even if the kit loads, the icons might not display due to:
- Incorrect Class: As noted earlier,
<em class="fa fa-x-twitter">uses the old FA5 syntax. FA6 requiresfa-brandsfor brand icons. Update to<em class="fa-brands fa-x-twitter">. - CSS Conflict: The local
font-awesome.css(FA5.13.1) might override the kit. Searchscotomaville.ascxorHome.ascxfor<link rel="stylesheet" href="...font-awesome.css">and remove it, or add!importantto the kit’s CSS (see below). - Font Family Mismatch: The kit might not apply if the skin’s CSS forces "Font Awesome 5 Free". Add a CSS override in
scotomaville.theme.css:
``css .fa-brands { font-family: "Font Awesome 6 Brands" !important; } .fa-x-twitter::before { content: "\e61b" !important; } ``
Current Status (08:18 PM PDT, September 29, 2025)
- It’s loading if the Network tab shows a 200 status for the kit script.
- The updated
scotomaville.xmlwith<id>x-twitter</id>should generate the correct HTML when StyleSwitcher saves, but the class needs thefa-brandsprefix. - Screenshots indicate missing icons, suggesting the above fixes are still needed.
Action Plan
- Update the Class:
- Edit scotomaville.ascx to change <em class="fa fa-x-twitter"> to <em class="fa-brands fa-x-twitter">. - Save and clear DNN cache.
- Test Kit Load:
- Confirm the Network tab result. If it fails, double-check the kit ID with Font Awesome support.
- Apply CSS Fix:
- Add the override CSS and test again.
- Verify StyleSwitcher:
- Edit a social link, save, and check if the ASCX updates with fa-brands fa-x-twitter.
Confirmation
If the Network tab shows a 200 status and you apply the fa-brands fix, the icons should appear. Please share the DevTools Network tab screenshot or the inspected <em> tag’s computed styles if issues persist—I’ll refine the solution!
[19] DANIEL:
yes, we are NOT getting the em class="fa-brands fa-x-twitter"
[20] GROK:
Thanks for the update! If you're not getting <em class="fa-brands fa-x-twitter"> in the rendered HTML despite the changes, the issue lies in how the Tahoe 2 skin's StyleSwitcher or rendering logic is processing the scotomaville.xml configuration. Since the ASCX file is dynamically regenerated based on the XML, the problem is likely in the mapping of the <id>x-twitter</id> to the wrong Font Awesome class. Let’s resolve this step-by-step.
Current Situation
- You updated
scotomaville.xmlto<id>x-twitter</id>and<name>X</name>. - The StyleSwitcher overwrites
scotomaville.ascx, but it’s still generating<em class="fa fa-x-twitter">instead of<em class="fa-brands fa-x-twitter">. - The Font Awesome 6 kit is loading (confirmed by the Network tab showing a 200 status for
1a12f265f9.js), so the resources are available.
Root Cause
The skin’s rendering logic (likely in Home.ascx.cs) is mapping the <id>x-twitter</id> to fa fa-x-twitter instead of fa-brands fa-x-twitter. This suggests:
- The code uses a hardcoded or default mapping that doesn’t recognize
x-twitteras a FA6 brand icon requiringfa-brands. - The StyleSwitcher or skin engine might be using an outdated Font Awesome class list (e.g., from FA5) or not fully integrating the FA6 kit’s conventions.
Solution
Since the ASCX is overwritten, we need to adjust the logic that generates the social icon HTML. Here’s how to fix it:
Step 1: Verify the Rendering Logic
- Open
Home.ascx.cs(located in/Portals/_default/Skins/Tahoe2/or the skin’s source folder if you have access). - Look for a method that processes the
SocialLinksfromscotomaville.xml. This might be calledRenderSocialLinks,BuildSocialIcons, or similar. - Search for a switch or dictionary that maps
<id>values to Font Awesome classes. You might see something like:
``csharp private string GetIconClass(string socialId) { switch (socialId.ToLower()) { case "twitter": return "fa fa-twitter"; case "youtube": return "fa fa-youtube"; // ... other cases default: return "fa fa-" + socialId; // This could be generating "fa fa-x-twitter" } } ``
- The
defaultcase likely appends the ID directly (fa fa-x-twitter), which doesn’t includefa-brands.
Step 2: Update the Mapping
- Modify the Code-Behind:
- Change the switch or default logic to handle x-twitter correctly: ``csharp private string GetIconClass(string socialId) { switch (socialId.ToLower()) { case "twitter": return "fa fa-twitter"; // Legacy, keep for old configs case "x-twitter": return "fa-brands fa-x-twitter"; // New mapping case "youtube": return "fa fa-youtube"; // ... other cases default: return "fa fa-" + socialId; // Fallback } } ` - If there’s no specific case for x-twitter`, add it as shown.
- Recompile the Skin:
- Save Home.ascx.cs. - If it’s part of a compiled DLL, recompile the skin project (requires Visual Studio or Mandeeps’ source code). Otherwise, update the skin ZIP and re-import via Admin > Skins > Import Skin.
Step 3: Alternative - Extend XML with Custom
Attribute If modifying Home.ascx.cs isn’t feasible (e.g., no source access), add a custom attribute to force the class:
- Update
scotomaville.xml’s Twitter entry:
``xml <LinkItem> <name>X</name> <id>x-twitter</id> <href>http://x.com/scotomaville</href> <enabled>true</enabled> <iconClass>fa-brands fa-x-twitter</iconClass> <!-- New attribute --> </LinkItem> ``
- Modify
Home.ascx.csto read this attribute (if possible):
``csharp private string GetIconClass(XElement linkItem) { string customClass = linkItem.Element("iconClass")?.Value; if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(customClass)) return customClass; string socialId = linkItem.Element("id").Value.ToLower(); switch (socialId) { case "twitter": return "fa fa-twitter"; case "youtube": return "fa fa-youtube"; default: return "fa fa-" + socialId; } } `` - This requires Mandeeps’ source or a custom build.
Step 4: CSS Fallback (Temporary Fix)
If code changes aren’t immediately possible, force the correct rendering with CSS:
- Edit
scotomaville.theme.cssand add:
``css .fa-x-twitter::before { content: "\e61b" !important; / FA6 X icon Unicode / font-family: "Font Awesome 6 Brands" !important; } .social-icons .fa-x-twitter { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 1.5em; / Adjust as needed / color: inherit; / Match theme color / } ``
- Save and clear cache. This will work if the kit is loading, but it’s a workaround until the HTML is fixed.
Step 5: Test and Validate
- Trigger a StyleSwitcher save (edit any social link and save).
- Check the rendered HTML in DevTools (Inspect the
<em>tag). - If it’s still
fa fa-x-twitter, the code-behind isn’t updated—proceed to Step 6.
Step 6: Contact Mandeeps Support
- If you can’t access
Home.ascx.cs, contact Mandeeps with:
- Skin version (2.0.0 from scotomaville.xml). - Request to update the social link rendering to use fa-brands fa-x-twitter for <id>x-twitter</id>. - Note the FA6 kit is active.
Why This Happens
The StyleSwitcher likely uses a generic rule (fa fa-{id}) for unknown IDs, which worked for FA5 but doesn’t align with FA6’s fa-brands requirement. Updating the mapping fixes this permanently.
Next Steps
- Share
Home.ascx.csif accessible—I can pinpoint the exact line. - Test the CSS fallback and report if the icon appears.
- If no progress, provide a DevTools screenshot of the
<em>tag’s computed styles.
You’re almost there—let’s get that X icon showing!
[21] DANIEL:
I have access to the resources > fonts folder and can add newer files. I do not expect mandeeps to do any upgrades to the Tahoe 2.1.2 theme. Clients are asking, but there is not profit in the project, so it isn't being supported much as you have read (or a lack of)
[22] GROK:
Upgrading Font Awesome to Version 6 Locally
Based on the current setup (Tahoe 2.1.2 theme using Font Awesome 5.13.1 via font-awesome.css and local fonts in resources/fonts), and since Mandeeps isn't upgrading, you can manually update to Font Awesome 6 free version. This will enable the new X icon (fa-x-twitter) without relying solely on the kit (which might conflict with local CSS). You'll replace the font files and update font-awesome.css to reference FA6. This persists across StyleSwitcher overwrites, as the fonts and CSS are separate from the ASCX/XML.
Step 1: Download Font Awesome 6 Free
- Go to the official download page: https://fontawesome.com/download.
- Select the Free for Web option (version 6.6.0 as of September 29, 2025).
- Direct ZIP link (from GitHub releases): https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/releases/download/6.6.0/fontawesome-free-6.6.0-web.zip.
- Download and extract the ZIP on your local machine. Inside, you'll find:
- css/all.css or css/brands.min.css (for the updated CSS). - webfonts/ folder with new font files (e.g., fa-brands-400.woff2, fa-regular-400.woff2, fa-solid-900.woff2, etc.).
Step 2: Replace Font Files in resources/fonts
- In DNN's File Management, navigate to
/Portals/_default/Skins/Tahoe/Resources/fonts/(as shown in your screenshot). - Delete or backup the old FA5 files:
- fa-brands-400. (eot, svg, ttf, woff, woff2) - fa-regular-400. - fa-solid-900. - Any other FA5-related files (e.g., FontAwesome.otf, glyphicons- if unused).
- Upload the new FA6 files from the extracted ZIP's
webfonts/folder:
- fa-brands-400.eot - fa-brands-400.svg - fa-brands-400.ttf - fa-brands-400.woff - fa-brands-400.woff2 - Similarly for fa-regular-400. and fa-solid-900. (upload all to ensure compatibility).
- Keep other non-FA files (e.g.,
opensans.css,OpenSans-Bold-webfont.eot) intact, as they’re for the theme's typography.
Step 3: Update font-awesome.css
- Edit
/Portals/_default/Skins/Tahoe/Resources/font-awesome.css(or wherever it's located—likely in the skin's root or Resources folder). - Replace the old
@font-facedeclarations with FA6 versions. At the end of the file, update or add:
```css @font-face { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; font-display: block; src: url("Resources/fonts/fa-brands-400.eot"); src: url("Resources/fonts/fa-brands-400.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-brands-400.woff2") format("woff2"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-brands-400.woff") format("woff"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-brands-400.ttf") format("truetype"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-brands-400.svg#fontawesome") format("svg"); }
@font-face { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; font-display: block; src: url("Resources/fonts/fa-regular-400.eot"); src: url("Resources/fonts/fa-regular-400.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-regular-400.woff2") format("woff2"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-regular-400.woff") format("woff"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-regular-400.ttf") format("truetype"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-regular-400.svg#fontawesome") format("svg"); }
@font-face { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 900; font-display: block; src: url("Resources/fonts/fa-solid-900.eot"); src: url("Resources/fonts/fa-solid-900.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-solid-900.woff2") format("woff2"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-solid-900.woff") format("woff"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-solid-900.ttf") format("truetype"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-solid-900.svg#fontawesome") format("svg"); }
.fab { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands'; font-weight: 400; }
.far { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free'; font-weight: 400; }
.fa, .fas { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free'; font-weight: 900; }
/ Add the X icon class / .fa-x-twitter:before { content: "\e61b"; } `` - This references the new fonts in resources/fonts. The .fab` class ensures brand icons (like X) use the correct family. - Remove any old FA5-specific rules (e.g., lines referencing 'Font Awesome 5 Brands') to avoid conflicts.
Step 4: Update Social Icon Classes
- Since the StyleSwitcher generates
<em class="fa fa-x-twitter">, add a CSS override insocial-icons.css(at the end):
``css .fa-x-twitter { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands' !important; } .fa-x-twitter:before { content: "\e61b" !important; / X icon Unicode in FA6 / } .social-icons em { font-size: 20px; padding: 10px; display: inline-block !important; } ``
- In
social-icons.less.txt, add or update:
`` .fa-x-twitter { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands'; } ``
Step 5: Recompile LESS and Test
- If the theme uses LESS compilation (via
variables.less.txt,mixins.less.txt, etc.), save changes and clear DNN cache (Admin > Site Settings > Advanced > Performance > Clear Cache). - Trigger a StyleSwitcher save to regenerate ASCX.
- Reload the site and inspect the icon:
- DevTools > Elements: Confirm <em class="fa fa-x-twitter">. - Computed: font-family should be "Font Awesome 6 Brands".
- If icons still missing, check Console for font load errors (e.g., 404 on new fonts)—ensure file paths match exactly.
This upgrade should make the X icon (and others) work without Mandeeps' involvement. If you encounter 404s on fonts, double-check upload paths. Let me know the results!
[23] DANIEL:
The social admin has a white X rather than a black X on grey. small thing.
THe X icon is now visible, but we broke the v5 icons (only youtube was used on this website). Is it the ID that needs to be updated, or do we have to put some of the old v5 back?
<LinkItem> <name>Youtube</name> <id>youtube</id> <href>http://www.youtube.com/c/scotomaville</href> <enabled>true</enabled> </LinkItem>
[24] GROK:
Fixes for Icons After FA6 Upgrade
Congratulations—the X icon appearing is a big win! Replacing the old FA5 fonts with FA6 in /Resources/fonts/ and updating font-awesome.css was the right move, as it enables modern icons without Mandeeps' involvement. The YouTube icon breaking is expected because FA6 requires the fa-brands prefix for brand icons (like YouTube, which uses Unicode \f167), but the skin's rendering logic still generates old-style classes (fa fa-youtube). We don't need to revert to FA5 or change the <id>youtube</id> in scotomaville.xml—instead, we'll extend the CSS fallback that worked for X. This keeps everything FA6-compatible.
Step 1: Fix the YouTube Icon
- Edit
social-icons.css(add at the end):
``css / Force FA6 brands family for YouTube / .fa-youtube { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands' !important; } .fa-youtube:before { content: "\f167" !important; / FA6 YouTube Unicode / } .social-icons em.fa-youtube { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 20px; / Match existing em size / padding: 10px; color: inherit; / Use theme color / } ` - This overrides the generated <em class="fa fa-youtube">` to use FA6's brands font and correct glyph.
- If you have other icons (e.g., Facebook as
fa-facebook), add similar rules:
``css .fa-facebook { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands' !important; } .fa-facebook:before { content: "\f09a" !important; / FA6 Facebook Unicode / } ` - Repeat for any active <id> in scotomaville.xml (e.g., Instagram: \f16d, LinkedIn: \f08c`). Find Unicodes in FA6 docs (no tool needed—standard values).
- Save and clear DNN cache (Admin > Site Settings > Advanced > Performance > Clear Cache). Hard refresh the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R).
Step 2: Address the White X in Social
Admin (StyleSwitcher)
- Cause: The StyleSwitcher UI (from
Index.htmlandIndex.js) likely applies a light theme or overridescolorto white for icons, ignoring the skin's dark grey background. Your screenshot shows a white square (placeholder) for X, as the UI might not fully recognizex-twitteror needs explicit styling. - Fix:
1. Edit style-switcher.min.css (add at the end, unminified for clarity): ``css / StyleSwitcher icon fixes / .StyleSwitcher .social-icons li.x-twitter em { color: #000 !important; / Black X on grey / background: transparent !important; / Remove any white bg / } .StyleSwitcher .social-icons li em.fa-x-twitter:before { content: "\e61b" !important; font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands' !important; } ` 2. If the UI still shows a white square, add to social-icons.css (global, but targeted): `css .StyleSwitcher .social-icons li a em { color: #333 !important; / Dark grey/black for all icons in admin / } `` 3. Save, clear cache, and reload the StyleSwitcher. The X should now be black on grey.
Step 3: Test and Validate
- Webpage Icons: Inspect
<em class="fa fa-youtube">in DevTools—font-familyshould be "Font Awesome 6 Brands", and the YouTube play button should appear. - StyleSwitcher UI: Edit/save social links—icons should display correctly without white placeholders.
- Edge Cases: If other icons break, apply the same CSS pattern (Unicode from FA6 docs). No need to revert FA5 files—FA6 is backward-compatible with this override.
- Performance: FA6 fonts are optimized; if load times increase, remove unused font variants (e.g., keep only
.woff2for modern browsers).
This keeps the upgrade clean and future-proof. If YouTube still doesn't show, share a DevTools screenshot of the <em class="fa fa-youtube"> computed styles. We're close to done!
[25] DANIEL:
We can ignore the admin area - as the changes only broke the social media we do not use.
please write the complete code for the remaining 5 social icons, as we did for x.
instagram linkedin facebook pinterest youtube
[26] GROK:
Great to hear the X icon is working, and we can focus on the front-end social icons! Since the StyleSwitcher admin area isn't a priority and only unused social media icons are affected, we'll update the CSS for the remaining active social icons (instagram, linkedin, facebook, pinterest, youtube) to ensure they render correctly with Font Awesome 6 (FA6) using the fa-brands prefix. The current setup generates <em class="fa fa-{id}"> (e.g., fa fa-youtube), so we'll override these with FA6 Unicodes and the Font Awesome 6 Brands font family.
Below is the complete CSS code to add to social-icons.css (append at the end). This ensures all five icons display properly on the webpage, matching the approach used for the X icon.
Complete CSS for Social Icons
```css / Force FA6 brands family for all social icons / .fa-instagram { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands' !important; } .fa-instagram:before { content: "\f16d" !important; / FA6 Instagram Unicode / } .social-icons em.fa-instagram { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 20px; / Match existing em size / padding: 10px; color: inherit; / Use theme color / }
.fa-linkedin { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands' !important; } .fa-linkedin:before { content: "\f08c" !important; / FA6 LinkedIn Unicode / } .social-icons em.fa-linkedin { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 20px; padding: 10px; color: inherit; }
.fa-facebook { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands' !important; } .fa-facebook:before { content: "\f09a" !important; / FA6 Facebook Unicode / } .social-icons em.fa-facebook { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 20px; padding: 10px; color: inherit; }
.fa-pinterest { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands' !important; } .fa-pinterest:before { content: "\f0d2" !important; / FA6 Pinterest Unicode / } .social-icons em.fa-pinterest { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 20px; padding: 10px; color: inherit; }
.fa-youtube { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands' !important; } .fa-youtube:before { content: "\f167" !important; / FA6 YouTube Unicode / } .social-icons em.fa-youtube { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 20px; padding: 10px; color: inherit; } ```
Implementation Steps
- Add to
social-icons.css:
- Open /Portals/_default/Skins/Tahoe/Resources/social-icons.css (or the skin’s equivalent path). - Append the above code after the existing rules. - Save the file.
- Update Corresponding
<LinkItem>inscotomaville.xml:
- Ensure the XML reflects the active icons. For example: ``xml <LinkItem> <name>Instagram</name> <id>instagram</id> <href>http://www.instagram.com/scotomaville</href> <enabled>true</enabled> </LinkItem> <LinkItem> <name>LinkedIn</name> <id>linkedin</id> <href>http://www.linkedin.com/company/scotomaville</href> <enabled>true</enabled> </LinkItem> <LinkItem> <name>Facebook</name> <id>facebook</id> <href>http://www.facebook.com/scotomaville</href> <enabled>true</enabled> </LinkItem> <LinkItem> <name>Pinterest</name> <id>pinterest</id> <href>http://www.pinterest.com/scotomaville</href> <enabled>true</enabled> </LinkItem> <LinkItem> <name>Youtube</name> <id>youtube</id> <href>http://www.youtube.com/c/scotomaville</href> <enabled>true</enabled> </LinkItem> ` - Update <href>` with your actual social media URLs. Save the XML.
- Clear Cache and Test:
- Clear DNN cache (Admin > Site Settings > Advanced > Performance > Clear Cache). - Hard refresh the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R). - Inspect each icon in DevTools (right-click > Inspect) to confirm: - The <em> tag has the correct class (e.g., fa fa-instagram). - The Computed tab shows font-family: "Font Awesome 6 Brands" and the correct content Unicode (e.g., \f16d for Instagram).
Notes
- Unicode Sources: The Unicodes are from the official FA6 free set (e.g., FA6 Brands). They’re backward-compatible with your FA6 font files.
- Styling: The
font-size,padding, andcolor: inheritmatch your existingsocial-icons.cssrules (e.g.,.social em) to maintain consistency. - No Reversion Needed: Since FA6 includes all FA5 icons with updated Unicodes, we don’t need to revert FA5 files—just ensure the CSS overrides match FA6 conventions.
- Admin Area: As agreed, we’re ignoring the StyleSwitcher UI—focus is on the front-end.
Validation
- If any icon doesn’t appear, check DevTools for font load errors (Network tab) or share the inspected
<em>tag’s computed styles. Adjustfont-sizeorcolorin the CSS if needed to match your theme. - At 09:13 PM PDT on September 29, 2025, you’re set to wrap this up tonight—let me know if you need further tweaks!
[27] DANIEL:
much better - except the youtube (and all new v6 social) icon is showing a 'visited' color, and we just want it white all the time.
[28] GROK:
Glad to hear the icons are looking better! The issue with the YouTube (and other new FA6 social icons) showing a "visited" color (likely a browser-applied purple or theme-specific visited link color) instead of staying white can be fixed by overriding the default link behavior for the social icons. Since you want them white all the time, we'll adjust the CSS to enforce a consistent color, ignoring visited states, and ensure it aligns with your theme's design.
Current Context
- The social icons are rendered with
<em class="fa fa-{id}">(e.g.,fa fa-youtube) within<a>tags in thesocial-iconsblock. - Browsers apply a
visitedpseudo-class (e.g.,a:visited) that changes link colors, which is overriding your desired white color. - Your
social-icons.cssalready setscolor: #444fori[class^="icon-"], but this doesn’t apply toemtags or handle visited states.
Solution
We'll update social-icons.css to:
- Set a consistent white color (
#FFF) for all social iconemelements. - Prevent the
visitedstate from altering the color usinga:visited. - Ensure the rule applies to all FA6 brand icons (including the new ones like YouTube).
Updated CSS
Edit social-icons.css and replace or append the existing social icon rules with the following (including the previous fixes for X, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest, and YouTube, now with white color enforcement):
```css / Force FA6 brands family for all social icons and set white color / .fa-x-twitter { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands' !important; } .fa-x-twitter:before { content: "\e61b" !important; / FA6 X Unicode / } .social-icons em.fa-x-twitter { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 20px; padding: 10px; color: #FFF !important; / White color / }
.fa-instagram { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands' !important; } .fa-instagram:before { content: "\f16d" !important; / FA6 Instagram Unicode / } .social-icons em.fa-instagram { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 20px; padding: 10px; color: #FFF !important; }
.fa-linkedin { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands' !important; } .fa-linkedin:before { content: "\f08c" !important; / FA6 LinkedIn Unicode / } .social-icons em.fa-linkedin { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 20px; padding: 10px; color: #FFF !important; }
.fa-facebook { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands' !important; } .fa-facebook:before { content: "\f09a" !important; / FA6 Facebook Unicode / } .social-icons em.fa-facebook { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 20px; padding: 10px; color: #FFF !important; }
.fa-pinterest { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands' !important; } .fa-pinterest:before { content: "\f0d2" !important; / FA6 Pinterest Unicode / } .social-icons em.fa-pinterest { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 20px; padding: 10px; color: #FFF !important; }
.fa-youtube { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands' !important; } .fa-youtube:before { content: "\f167" !important; / FA6 YouTube Unicode / } .social-icons em.fa-youtube { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 20px; padding: 10px; color: #FFF !important; }
/ Prevent visited link color from affecting icons / .social-icons li a, .social-icons li a:visited, .social-icons li a:hover, .social-icons li a:active { color: #FFF !important; text-decoration: none !important; background-color: transparent !important; } ```
Implementation Steps
- Update
social-icons.css:
- Open /Portals/_default/Skins/Tahoe/Resources/social-icons.css. - Replace the previous social icon CSS block with the code above (or append the new a, a:visited, etc., rules if you want to keep existing styles). - Save the file.
- Clear Cache and Test:
- Clear DNN cache (Admin > Site Settings > Advanced > Performance > Clear Cache). - Hard refresh the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R). - Visit a page with social icons and check YouTube (and others). The icons should now be white, regardless of visited state.
Explanation
color: #FFF !important: Forces white on theemelements, overriding any inherited or default colors..social-icons li a:visited: Prevents the browser’s visited link color (e.g., purple) from applying to the icon container..social-icons li a:hover, a:active: Ensures hover and active states don’t introduce unwanted effects (e.g., underlines or color changes).- Theme Consistency: If
#FFFclashes with your dark grey background (e.g., fromvariables.less.txt’s@color-header: #0e0e0e), adjust to a contrasting color (e.g.,#DDDor a theme variable like@color-light-inverse) and test.
Validation
- DevTools Check: Inspect an
<em class="fa fa-youtube">tag. In the Computed tab, confirmcolor: #FFFand novisitedoverride. - Visited Test: Click a social link (e.g., YouTube), navigate away, then return—icon should stay white.
- Screenshot: If the color still shifts, share a DevTools screenshot of the computed styles at 09:38 PM PDT on September 29, 2025—I’ll fine-tune it!
You’re nearly there—let’s lock this in!
[29] DANIEL:
The social icons work. Thank you.
But I discovered we have lost at least the navigation icon for mobile
[30] GROK:
I'm glad the social icons are working now—great progress! The loss of the mobile navigation icon is likely a side effect of upgrading to Font Awesome 6 and replacing the FA5 font files, as the navigation icon (typically a menu hamburger, e.g., fa-bars) might still be referenced with an FA5 class or Unicode that no longer matches the updated font set. Since the Tahoe 2.1.2 theme relies on local Font Awesome files (font-awesome.css and resources/fonts), we need to ensure the mobile navigation icon is restored by updating its class or adding a fallback.
Likely Cause
- The mobile navigation icon is probably defined in
Home.ascxor a related CSS file (e.g.,BaseTheme.less.txt,Theme.less.txt, orstyle-switcher.min.css) using an FA5 class likefa fa-bars(Unicode\f0c9in FA5). - With FA6, the
fa-barsicon is still available but uses a different Unicode (\f00a) and requires thefa-solidstyle (notfaborfasfrom FA5). The old font files (e.g.,fa-solid-900.woff2) were replaced with FA6 versions, but the theme’s logic might not have adjusted the class or CSS.
Step 1: Locate the Mobile Navigation Icon
- Inspect the HTML:
- Open the site on a mobile view (or use browser DevTools with a mobile emulator). - Right-click the missing navigation icon area > Inspect. - Look for an <i> or <em> tag with a class like fa fa-bars, fa-navicon, or similar. It might be inside a <nav> or <button> element (e.g., part of the DNN MENU control or a custom mobile toggle). - Example: <i class="fa fa-bars"></i> or <span class="fa fa-navicon"></span>.
- Check Related Files:
- Open Home.ascx and search for fa-bars, fa-navicon, or MENU (e.g., <dnn:MENU ...>). - Check BaseTheme.less.txt or Theme.less.txt for rules targeting .fa-bars or .navbar-toggle. - Look in style-switcher.min.css for mobile-specific styles (e.g., .navbar-toggle .fa).
Step 2: Update the Icon Class or CSS
Since the ASCX is dynamically generated, we’ll assume the icon class is hardcoded or styled in CSS. Here’s how to fix it:
Option 1: Update the Class in Home.ascx (If
Editable)
- If you find
<i class="fa fa-bars">or similar inHome.ascx(e.g., within the mobile menu toggle):
- Change it to <i class="fa-solid fa-bars">. - Save and clear cache.
- Note: If StyleSwitcher overwrites this, proceed to Option 2.
Option 2: Add a CSS Override
- Edit
social-icons.css(orBaseTheme.less.txtif using LESS) and add:
```css / Restore mobile navigation icon with FA6 / .fa-bars { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free' !important; } .fa-bars:before { content: "\f0c9" !important; / FA5 bars Unicode (works with FA6 fallback) / } .navbar-toggle .fa-bars, .nav .fa-bars { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 20px; / Adjust to match theme / color: #FFF; / Match your theme's mobile nav color / }
/ FA6-specific fallback if class is updated / .fa-solid.fa-bars:before { content: "\f0c9" !important; / FA6 bars Unicode / font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free' !important; } ```
- This covers both FA5 (
\f0c9) and FA6 (\f0c9is still valid in FA6 solid set) Unicodes, ensuring compatibility.
Option 3: Check DNN Menu Control
- The
<dnn:MENU>tag inHome.ascxmight use a custom style (e.g.,MenuStyle="Resources/Menus/Menu1"). Open the referenced menu file (e.g.,/Portals/_default/Skins/Tahoe/Resources/Menus/Menu1.ascxor.css). - Look for
fa-barsoricon-barand update tofa-solid fa-barsor adjust the CSS as above.
Step 3: Test and Validate
- Mobile View: Resize the browser or use DevTools’ mobile emulator to test.
- Icon Appearance: The hamburger icon should reappear. Inspect it in DevTools to confirm
font-family: "Font Awesome 6 Free"and the correctcontent. - Cache: Clear DNN cache (Admin > Site Settings > Advanced > Performance > Clear Cache) and hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R).
Troubleshooting
- Still Missing: If no icon shows, share the DevTools screenshot of the mobile nav area (e.g., the
<button>or<i>tag) at 09:52 PM PDT on September 29, 2025. I’ll pinpoint the exact class. - Wrong Icon: If a different icon appears (e.g., a square), the Unicode might be off—switch to
\f0c9(FA5/FA6 bars) or\f00a(FA6 bars) and test. - Theme Color: Adjust
colorin the CSS to match your mobile nav (e.g.,@color-header-inversefromvariables.less.txt).
This should restore the mobile navigation icon without reverting FA6. Let me know how it goes!
[31] DANIEL:
in font-awesome.css and home.base.css as
.fa-caret-down:before { content: "\f0d7"; }
[32] GROK:
.fa-caret-down { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free' !important; font-weight: 900 !important; / Solid style for caret icons / } .fa-caret-down:before { content: "\f0d7" !important; / FA6 caret-down Unicode (same as FA5) / } .header-nav ul.nav li.dropdown-submenu > .fa-caret-down, .header-nav ul.nav li.dropdown > .fa-caret-down, .navbar-collapse .fa-caret-down { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 1em; / Adjust to match theme / color: inherit; / Use theme color, e.g., white / margin-left: 5px; / Spacing for alignment / }
[33] DANIEL:
which file?
[34] GROK:
Since the mobile navigation icon issue is related to the Tahoe 2.1.2 theme's use of Font Awesome icons (likely the hamburger menu, such as fa-bars or a similar icon like fa-caret-down as you mentioned), and given that you’ve updated font-awesome.css and Home.base.css to include FA6 font files, the appropriate file to add the CSS fix depends on where the navigation icon is styled or defined. Based on the files you provided and the context, here’s the determination:
Recommended File: social-icons.css
- Reason: The
social-icons.cssfile is already being used to style social icon elements (e.g.,emtags) and contains rules for icon appearance (e.g.,font-size,padding,color). Since the mobile navigation icon is likely part of the header or navigation structure and uses Font Awesome, adding the fix here keeps all icon-related overrides in one place for consistency. TheHome.base.cssfile imports other CSS files and focuses on animations and layouts, whilefont-awesome.cssis a core library file not meant for custom styling. - Location:
/Portals/_default/Skins/Tahoe/Resources/social-icons.css(or the equivalent path in your skin folder).
Updated CSS for Mobile Navigation Icon
Add the following code to the end of social-icons.css to restore the mobile navigation icon (assuming it’s fa-bars or fa-caret-down, with fa-caret-down as you specified):
```css / Restore mobile navigation icon with FA6 / .fa-caret-down { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free' !important; font-weight: 900 !important; / Solid style for caret icons / } .fa-caret-down:before { content: "\f0d7" !important; / FA6 caret-down Unicode (same as FA5) / } .header-nav ul.nav li.dropdown-submenu > .fa-caret-down, .header-nav ul.nav li.dropdown > .fa-caret-down, .navbar-collapse .fa-caret-down { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 1em; / Adjust to match theme / color: inherit; / Use theme color, e.g., white / margin-left: 5px; / Spacing for alignment / }
/ Alternative: Fallback for fa-bars (hamburger) if used instead / .fa-bars { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free' !important; font-weight: 900 !important; / Solid style / } .fa-bars:before { content: "\f0c9" !important; / FA6 bars Unicode / } .navbar-toggle .fa-bars, .nav .fa-bars { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 20px; / Match social icon size / color: #FFF; / Match your theme's mobile nav color / } ```
Why This Works
- Font Family and Weight:
Font Awesome 6 Freewithfont-weight: 900targets the solid style, wherefa-caret-downandfa-barsreside in FA6. - Unicode:
\f0d7is the FA6 Unicode forfa-caret-down(unchanged from FA5), and\f0c9is forfa-bars(also valid in FA6 solid set). - Selectors:
.header-nav ul.nav li.dropdown > .fa-caret-downand.navbar-toggle .fa-barstarget common mobile menu structures in DNN skins like Tahoe. Adjust selectors if DevTools shows a different parent class (e.g.,.mobile-nav-toggle).
Implementation Steps
- Edit
social-icons.css:
- Open the file in DNN File Management. - Append the code above. - Save.
- Clear Cache and Test:
- Clear DNN cache (Admin > Site Settings > Advanced > Performance > Clear Cache). - Hard refresh the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R). - Test on mobile view (use DevTools’ mobile emulator or resize browser).
Verification
- Inspect Icon: In DevTools, locate the mobile nav button (e.g.,
<button class="navbar-toggle">or<i class="fa-caret-down">). Confirm the icon appears withfont-family: "Font Awesome 6 Free"and the correctcontent. - Class Mismatch: If the icon is still missing, share a DevTools screenshot of the mobile nav element (at 10:03 PM PDT on September 29, 2025). It might use a different class (e.g.,
fa-naviconor custom ID).
Alternative File Consideration
- If
social-icons.cssDoesn’t Apply: If the navigation icon isn’t styled there (e.g., it’s in a menu-specific CSS), add the code toBaseTheme.less.txt(converted to CSS via LESS compilation) orTheme.less.txt. For example, inBaseTheme.less.txt:
``less .fa-caret-down { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free' !important; font-weight: 900 !important; } .fa-caret-down:before { content: "\f0d7" !important; } .navbar-toggle .fa-caret-down { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 1em; color: @color-header-inverse; / Use theme variable / } `` - Recompile LESS (if set up) or edit the generated CSS file.
Start with social-icons.css—it’s the simplest fix. Let me know the result!
[35] DANIEL:
That did not work, becasue we're working on the parent dropdown icons, and the one's missing are the children or the step-children - the nested ones
[36] GROK:
.fa-caret-down { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free' !important; font-weight: 900 !important; / Solid style for caret icons / } .fa-caret-down:before { content: "\f0d7" !important; / FA6 caret-down Unicode (same as FA5) / } .dropdown-submenu .fa-caret-down, .dropdown-submenu > a > .fa-caret-down, .dropdown-menu .fa-caret-down, .nav li.dropdown-submenu > .fa-caret-down { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 1em; / Adjust to match theme / color: inherit; / Use theme color, e.g., white / margin-left: 5px; / Spacing for alignment / }
/ Ensure visibility for nested submenus / .dropdown-submenu .dropdown-menu li a .fa-caret-down, .dropdown-menu > li > a > .fa-caret-down { visibility: visible !important; opacity: 1 !important; }
[37] GROK:
Apologies for the oversight—thanks for clarifying! Since the issue is with the nested dropdown icons (children or "step-children" in the navigation menu, likely the caret or submenu indicators) rather than the top-level mobile navigation icon, the previous CSS targeted the wrong elements. The Tahoe 2.1.2 theme uses Font Awesome for dropdown indicators (e.g., fa-caret-down for submenus), and the upgrade to Font Awesome 6 has disrupted these nested icons. The Home.base.css and font-awesome.css updates you mentioned (fa-caret-down:before { content: "\f0d7"; }) are on the right track, but the selectors need to target the nested menu items specifically.
Current Context
- The parent dropdowns (e.g., top-level menu items with submenus) likely use
fa-caret-downas an indicator. - The missing icons are the children (submenu items) or nested submenus (step-children), which also use
fa-caret-downor a similar class (e.g.,fa-angle-rightfor horizontal submenus). - Your
font-awesome.cssis still labeled as FA5.13.1, but the font files inresources/fontsare now FA6, causing a mismatch unless the CSS is fully updated. - The CSS fix needs to apply to all nested
.dropdown-submenuor.dropdown-menuitems.
Step 1: Update font-awesome.css for FA6 Compatibility
Since you replaced the font files with FA6 versions, ensure font-awesome.css reflects FA6 conventions. Edit /Portals/_default/Skins/Tahoe/Resources/font-awesome.css and replace the @font-face and class definitions with:
```css / Update Font Awesome to FA6 / @font-face { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; font-display: block; src: url("Resources/fonts/fa-brands-400.eot"); src: url("Resources/fonts/fa-brands-400.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-brands-400.woff2") format("woff2"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-brands-400.woff") format("woff"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-brands-400.ttf") format("truetype"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-brands-400.svg#fontawesome") format("svg"); }
.fab { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Brands'; font-weight: 400; }
@font-face { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; font-display: block; src: url("Resources/fonts/fa-regular-400.eot"); src: url("Resources/fonts/fa-regular-400.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-regular-400.woff2") format("woff2"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-regular-400.woff") format("woff"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-regular-400.ttf") format("truetype"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-regular-400.svg#fontawesome") format("svg"); }
.far { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free'; font-weight: 400; }
@font-face { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 900; font-display: block; src: url("Resources/fonts/fa-solid-900.eot"); src: url("Resources/fonts/fa-solid-900.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-solid-900.woff2") format("woff2"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-solid-900.woff") format("woff"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-solid-900.ttf") format("truetype"), url("Resources/fonts/fa-solid-900.svg#fontawesome") format("svg"); }
.fa, .fas { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free'; font-weight: 900; }
/ Specific icon fixes / .fa-caret-down:before { content: "\f0d7" !important; / FA6 caret-down Unicode (unchanged) / } .fa-angle-right:before { content: "\f105" !important; / FA6 angle-right Unicode for nested menus / } ```
- This aligns the CSS with your FA6 font files, ensuring
fa-caret-downand potentialfa-angle-right(common for nested submenus) work.
Step 2: Add CSS for Nested Dropdown Icons
Since the nested icons are missing, the fix should target submenu indicators. Edit social-icons.css (or BaseTheme.less.txt if using LESS) and add:
```css / Restore nested dropdown icons with FA6 / .fa-caret-down { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free' !important; font-weight: 900 !important; / Solid style / } .fa-caret-down:before { content: "\f0d7" !important; / FA6 caret-down Unicode / } .header-nav ul.nav li.dropdown-submenu > .fa-caret-down, .header-nav ul.nav li.dropdown-menu > .fa-caret-down { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 1em; / Match theme / color: #FFF; / Match your theme's nav color / margin-left: 5px; / Alignment / }
/ Fallback for fa-angle-right (common in nested submenus) / .fa-angle-right { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free' !important; font-weight: 900 !important; } .fa-angle-right:before { content: "\f105" !important; / FA6 angle-right Unicode / } .header-nav ul.nav li.dropdown-submenu .dropdown-menu > .fa-angle-right, .header-nav ul.nav ul.dropdown-menu li > .fa-angle-right { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 1em; color: #FFF; margin-left: 5px; } ```
- Selectors:
.dropdown-submenu > .fa-caret-downtargets immediate child indicators;.dropdown-menu > .fa-angle-rightcovers deeper nested items. Adjust.header-navto match your theme’s nav class (e.g.,.navbar-navif different—check DevTools). - Color:
#FFFassumes a light icon on a dark nav (pervariables.less.txt’s@color-header: #0e0e0e). Use@color-header-inverseor inspect the parent nav color if needed.
Step 3: Verify in Home.ascx or Menu Files
- Open
Home.ascxand search for<dnn:MENU>or a custom nav structure. - Look for
<i class="fa-caret-down">or<span class="fa-angle-right">within.dropdown-submenuor.dropdown-menuitems. - If hardcoded, update to
<i class="fa-solid fa-caret-down">or<i class="fa-solid fa-angle-right">, but since StyleSwitcher overwrites, rely on CSS.
Step 4: Test and Validate
- Mobile/Desktop: Test on mobile (DevTools emulator) and desktop hover states to reveal submenus.
- Icon Check: Inspect a nested menu item in DevTools. Confirm
font-family: "Font Awesome 6 Free"andcontent: "\f0d7"or\f105. - Cache: Clear DNN cache (Admin > Site Settings > Advanced > Performance > Clear Cache) and hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R).
Troubleshooting
- Still Missing: If icons don’t appear, share a DevTools screenshot of a nested
<li class="dropdown-submenu">or<ul class="dropdown-menu">element (at 10:14 PM PDT on September 29, 2025). The class might differ (e.g.,fa-chevron-right). - Wrong Icon: If a box or wrong glyph shows, verify the Unicode matches FA6 docs (cheatsheet).
This should restore the nested dropdown icons. Let me know the outcome!
[38] DANIEL:
where does this go? Which file?
[39] GROK:
Since the issue involves missing caret-down icons for nested dropdowns (children or step-children) in the navigation menu, and we’re dealing with the Tahoe 2.1.2 theme that uses Font Awesome 6 after your recent upgrade, the CSS fix should be placed in a file that targets navigation styling and can override the existing behavior. Based on the files you’ve provided and the context, here’s the recommendation:
Recommended File: BaseTheme.less.txt
- Reason: The
BaseTheme.less.txtfile contains theme-wide styling rules, including navigation-related styles (e.g.,.header-nav,.navbar-collapse), and is compiled intoBaseTheme.css. This makes it ideal for overriding nested dropdown icons likefa-caret-downin the menu structure. Thesocial-icons.cssfile is primarily for social icons, not navigation, andfont-awesome.cssis a core library file not suited for custom overrides. Adding it toBaseTheme.less.txtensures it applies to all dropdowns, including nested ones, and integrates with the LESS compilation process. - Location:
/Portals/_default/Skins/Tahoe/Resources/BaseTheme.less.txt(or the equivalent path in your skin folder).
Updated CSS/LESS for Nested Dropdown Icons
Add the following code to the end of BaseTheme.less.txt (use LESS syntax to match the file’s structure). This targets the missing caret-down icons in nested submenus:
```less / Restore nested dropdown icons with FA6 / .fa-caret-down { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free' !important; font-weight: 900 !important; / Solid style for caret icons / } .fa-caret-down:before { content: "\f0d7" !important; / FA6 caret-down Unicode (same as FA5) / } .dropdown-submenu .fa-caret-down, .dropdown-submenu > a > .fa-caret-down, .dropdown-menu .fa-caret-down, .nav li.dropdown-submenu > .fa-caret-down { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 1em; / Adjust to match theme / color: inherit; / Use theme color, e.g., white / margin-left: 5px; / Spacing for alignment / }
/ Ensure visibility for nested submenus / .dropdown-submenu .dropdown-menu li a .fa-caret-down, .dropdown-menu > li > a > .fa-caret-down { visibility: visible !important; opacity: 1 !important; } ```
Implementation Steps
- Edit
BaseTheme.less.txt:
- Open the file in DNN File Management. - Append the code above after the existing rules (e.g., after the last }). - Save.
- Recompile LESS (if applicable):
- If your theme uses a LESS compilation process (e.g., via Gulp or a build tool), run the compilation to generate the updated BaseTheme.css. If you don’t have this set up, the changes might not apply until compiled—check with your theme’s documentation or skip to manual CSS edit (Step 3).
- Alternative: Manual CSS Edit (if LESS not compiled):
- If LESS compilation isn’t active, edit the generated BaseTheme.css (e.g., /Portals/_default/Skins/Tahoe/Resources/BaseTheme.css) and add the same code (without LESS variables, as pure CSS): ```css / Restore nested dropdown icons with FA6 / .fa-caret-down { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free' !important; font-weight: 900 !important; / Solid style for caret icons / } .fa-caret-down:before { content: "\f0d7" !important; / FA6 caret-down Unicode (same as FA5) / } .dropdown-submenu .fa-caret-down, .dropdown-submenu > a > .fa-caret-down, .dropdown-menu .fa-caret-down, .nav li.dropdown-submenu > .fa-caret-down { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 1em; / Adjust to match theme / color: inherit; / Use theme color, e.g., white / margin-left: 5px; / Spacing for alignment / }
/ Ensure visibility for nested submenus / .dropdown-submenu .dropdown-menu li a .fa-caret-down, .dropdown-menu > li > a > .fa-caret-down { visibility: visible !important; opacity: 1 !important; } ``` - Save and proceed to Step 4.
- Clear Cache and Test:
- Clear DNN cache (Admin > Site Settings > Advanced > Performance > Clear Cache). - Hard refresh the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R). - Test the navigation on desktop and mobile views. Hover over parent dropdowns to check if nested (child/step-child) caret-down icons appear.
Why This File and Code
- Targeting Nested Dropdowns: The selectors (
.dropdown-submenu .fa-caret-down,.dropdown-menu .fa-caret-down) address the nested menu structure, which is common in DNN skins using Bootstrap or custom navigation (e.g.,.nav li.dropdown-submenu). - FA6 Compatibility: The
font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free'andfont-weight: 900ensure the solid style is used, wherefa-caret-downresides in FA6. - Visibility Fix:
visibility: visibleandopacity: 1address potential hiding due to CSS rules (e.g., fromheader ul.social liinsocial-icons.cssor theme defaults).
Verification
- Inspect Icons: In DevTools, hover over a parent dropdown and inspect the nested
<i class="fa fa-caret-down">or similar. Confirm the icon appears withfont-family: "Font Awesome 6 Free"andcontent: "\f0d7". - Still Missing: If the icons don’t show, share a DevTools screenshot of the nested dropdown HTML (e.g.,
<a class="dropdown-toggle">or<span class="fa-caret-down">) at 10:10 PM PDT on September 29, 2025. The class or parent structure might differ (e.g.,fa-angle-downor a custom ID).
This should restore the nested caret-down icons. Let me know the outcome!
[40] DANIEL:
what does fas fa-caret-down, vs fa-caret-down do? It looks like we might be missing the fas
[41] GROK:
You're absolutely right to notice the difference between fas fa-caret-down and fa-caret-down—this is key to resolving the missing nested dropdown icons in your Tahoe 2.1.2 theme after upgrading to Font Awesome 6. Let’s break it down and adjust the fix accordingly.
Difference Between fas fa-caret-down and fa-caret-down
- Font Awesome 5 (FA5) Context:
- In FA5, icons were categorized into styles: fas (solid), far (regular), fal (light, pro only), and fab (brands). - fa-caret-down alone was a generic class that relied on the context (e.g., the fas, far, etc., prefix) to determine the style. Without a prefix, it defaulted to the style defined by the font-family in the CSS (e.g., Font Awesome 5 Free with font-weight: 900 for solid). - fas fa-caret-down explicitly specified the solid style, using the Font Awesome 5 Free font with font-weight: 900, and the Unicode \f0d7 for the caret-down icon.
- Font Awesome 6 (FA6) Context:
- FA6 simplifies the structure but retains style prefixes for clarity: - fas still means solid (from Font Awesome 6 Free, font-weight: 900). - far means regular (from Font Awesome 6 Free, font-weight: 400). - fa-brands is for brand icons (from Font Awesome 6 Brands, font-weight: 400). - fa-caret-down by itself is still valid but ambiguous without a style prefix. In FA6, fa-caret-down with fas uses Unicode \f0d7 (solid caret-down), while without a prefix, it might not render correctly unless the CSS explicitly sets the font family and weight. - Your theme’s generated HTML likely uses fa fa-caret-down (from the FA5 logic in scotomaville.xml and StyleSwitcher), but the FA6 font files require the fas prefix to match the solid style.
- Why the Issue:
- After replacing FA5 fonts with FA6 in resources/fonts, the fa-caret-down icon might not display because the theme’s CSS or HTML lacks the fas prefix, and the font family mapping in font-awesome.css (still labeled "Font Awesome 5 Free") might not align with FA6’s expectations without adjustment. - The nested dropdowns are likely hidden or not rendering because the StyleSwitcher or menu logic isn’t adding fas, leaving the icon as a blank placeholder.
Updated Fix with fas Prefix
Since you suspect the fas prefix is missing, we’ll update the CSS to explicitly target fas fa-caret-down and provide a fallback for fa-caret-down to ensure compatibility. The file remains BaseTheme.less.txt (or its compiled BaseTheme.css) because it handles navigation styling.
Updated Code for BaseTheme.less.txt
Add this to the end of BaseTheme.less.txt:
```less / Restore nested dropdown icons with FA6, ensuring fas prefix / .fas.fa-caret-down { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free' !important; font-weight: 900 !important; / Solid style / } .fas.fa-caret-down:before { content: "\f0d7" !important; / FA6 solid caret-down Unicode / }
/ Fallback for fa-caret-down without prefix (if theme generates it) / .fa-caret-down { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free' !important; font-weight: 900 !important; / Force solid style / } .fa-caret-down:before { content: "\f0d7" !important; / FA6 solid caret-down Unicode / }
.dropdown-submenu .fas.fa-caret-down, .dropdown-submenu > a > .fas.fa-caret-down, .dropdown-menu .fas.fa-caret-down, .nav li.dropdown-submenu > .fas.fa-caret-down, .dropdown-submenu .fa-caret-down, .dropdown-submenu > a > .fa-caret-down, .dropdown-menu .fa-caret-down, .nav li.dropdown-submenu > .fa-caret-down { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 1em; / Adjust to match theme / color: @color-header-inverse; / Use theme variable for white or contrast / margin-left: 5px; / Spacing for alignment / }
/ Ensure visibility for nested submenus / .dropdown-submenu .dropdown-menu li a .fas.fa-caret-down, .dropdown-menu > li > a > .fas.fa-caret-down, .dropdown-submenu .dropdown-menu li a .fa-caret-down, .dropdown-menu > li > a > .fa-caret-down { visibility: visible !important; opacity: 1 !important; } ```
Alternative: Manual CSS in BaseTheme.css
If LESS compilation isn’t active, edit BaseTheme.css and add (as pure CSS): ```css / Restore nested dropdown icons with FA6, ensuring fas prefix / .fas.fa-caret-down { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free' !important; font-weight: 900 !important; / Solid style / } .fas.fa-caret-down:before { content: "\f0d7" !important; / FA6 solid caret-down Unicode / }
/ Fallback for fa-caret-down without prefix (if theme generates it) / .fa-caret-down { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free' !important; font-weight: 900 !important; / Force solid style / } .fa-caret-down:before { content: "\f0d7" !important; / FA6 solid caret-down Unicode / }
.dropdown-submenu .fas.fa-caret-down, .dropdown-submenu > a > .fas.fa-caret-down, .dropdown-menu .fas.fa-caret-down, .nav li.dropdown-submenu > .fas.fa-caret-down, .dropdown-submenu .fa-caret-down, .dropdown-submenu > a > .fa-caret-down, .dropdown-menu .fa-caret-down, .nav li.dropdown-submenu > .fa-caret-down { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 1em; / Adjust to match theme / color: #FFF; / Default to white, adjust if needed / margin-left: 5px; / Spacing for alignment / }
/ Ensure visibility for nested submenus / .dropdown-submenu .dropdown-menu li a .fas.fa-caret-down, .dropdown-menu > li > a > .fas.fa-caret-down, .dropdown-submenu .dropdown-menu li a .fa-caret-down, .dropdown-menu > li > a > .fa-caret-down { visibility: visible !important; opacity: 1 !important; } ```
Implementation Steps
- Edit
BaseTheme.less.txtorBaseTheme.css:
- Open the file in DNN File Management. - Append the appropriate code (LESS for .less.txt, CSS for .css). - Save.
- Clear Cache and Test:
- Clear DNN cache (Admin > Site Settings > Advanced > Performance > Clear Cache). - Hard refresh the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R). - Test the navigation on desktop and mobile. Hover over parent dropdowns to check nested caret-down icons.
Why This Works
fasPrefix: Explicitly targets the solid style, ensuring the icon renders with FA6’sFont Awesome 6 Freefont.- Fallback for
fa-caret-down: Handles cases where the theme generates the old class withoutfas, forcing the solid style. - Nested Selectors:
.dropdown-submenuand.dropdown-menuaddress the child/step-child levels, withvisibilityandopacityfixing any hiding issues.
Verification
- Inspect Icons: In DevTools, hover over a nested dropdown and inspect the
<i class="fa-caret-down">or<i class="fas fa-caret-down">. Confirmfont-family: "Font Awesome 6 Free",font-weight: 900, andcontent: "\f0d7". - Still Missing: If the icons don’t appear, share a DevTools screenshot of the nested dropdown HTML (e.g.,
<a class="dropdown-toggle">or<span class="fa-caret-down">) at 10:18 PM PDT on September 29, 2025. The class might befa-angle-downor a custom variant.
This should restore the nested caret-down icons. Let me know the result!
[42] DANIEL:
does it all have t be in a single line, as the rest of the less has, or can it be like you wrote it?
[43] GROK:
In a .less file like BaseTheme.less.txt, the syntax doesn’t require everything to be on a single line—LESS supports multi-line formatting just like CSS, and it’s compiled into a single-line or formatted CSS file depending on your build process. The rest of your BaseTheme.less.txt might appear as single lines because it’s either:
- Already compiled (e.g., minified into
BaseTheme.css). - Written in a compact style by the theme author.
However, for readability and maintainability (especially since you’re customizing it), it’s perfectly fine to use the multi-line format I provided. LESS compilers (e.g., via Gulp or a DNN build tool) will handle the formatting during compilation. If your theme’s LESS isn’t being compiled automatically, the multi-line version will still work when saved and served, though it might not match the existing style visually.
Recommendation
- Use Multi-Line Format: Keep it as I wrote it for clarity while editing. This is especially helpful since you’re troubleshooting and may need to adjust selectors or values later.
- Match Existing Style (Optional): If you prefer consistency with the rest of
BaseTheme.less.txt, you can condense it into a single line per rule, but it’s not necessary for functionality.
Multi-Line Version (Recommended)
Stick with the multi-line code I provided in the previous response, placed at the end of BaseTheme.less.txt: ```less / Restore nested dropdown icons with FA6, ensuring fas prefix / .fas.fa-caret-down { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free' !important; font-weight: 900 !important; / Solid style / } .fas.fa-caret-down:before { content: "\f0d7" !important; / FA6 solid caret-down Unicode / }
/ Fallback for fa-caret-down without prefix (if theme generates it) / .fa-caret-down { font-family: 'Font Awesome 6 Free' !important; font-weight: 900 !important; / Force solid style / } .fa-caret-down:before { content: "\f0d7" !important; / FA6 solid caret-down Unicode / }
.dropdown-submenu .fas.fa-caret-down, .dropdown-submenu > a > .fas.fa-caret-down, .dropdown-menu .fas.fa-caret-down, .nav li.dropdown-submenu > .fas.fa-caret-down, .dropdown-submenu .fa-caret-down, .dropdown-submenu > a > .fa-caret-down, .dropdown-menu .fa-caret-down, .nav li.dropdown-submenu > .fa-caret-down { display: inline-block !important; font-size: 1em; / Adjust to match theme / color: @color-header-inverse; / Use theme variable for white or contrast / margin-left: 5px; / Spacing for alignment / }
/ Ensure visibility for nested submenus / .dropdown-submenu .dropdown-menu li a .fas.fa-caret-down, .dropdown-menu > li > a > .fas.fa-caret-down, .dropdown-submenu .dropdown-menu li a .fa-caret-down, .dropdown-menu > li > a > .fa-caret-down { visibility: visible !important; opacity: 1 !important; } ```
Single-Line Version (Optional)
If you want to match the existing style, condense it like this (still functional, but harder to edit): ``less .fas.fa-caret-down{font-family:'Font Awesome 6 Free'!important;font-weight:900!important}.fas.fa-caret-down:before{content:"\f0d7"!important}.fa-caret-down{font-family:'Font Awesome 6 Free'!important;font-weight:900!important}.fa-caret-down:before{content:"\f0d7"!important}.dropdown-submenu .fas.fa-caret-down,.dropdown-submenu > a > .fas.fa-caret-down,.dropdown-menu .fas.fa-caret-down,.nav li.dropdown-submenu > .fas.fa-caret-down,.dropdown-submenu .fa-caret-down,.dropdown-submenu > a > .fa-caret-down,.dropdown-menu .fa-caret-down,.nav li.dropdown-submenu > .fa-caret-down{display:inline-block!important;font-size:1em;color:@color-header-inverse;margin-left:5px}.dropdown-submenu .dropdown-menu li a .fas.fa-caret-down,.dropdown-menu > li > a > .fas.fa-caret-down,.dropdown-submenu .dropdown-menu li a .fa-caret-down,.dropdown-menu > li > a > .fa-caret-down{visibility:visible!important;opacity:1!important} ``
Implementation
- Preferred: Use the multi-line version in
BaseTheme.less.txtfor ease of maintenance. - Save and Compile: If your theme compiles LESS, run the build process (e.g., Gulp). If not, the multi-line version will work as-is when served.
- Clear Cache: Clear DNN cache (Admin > Site Settings > Advanced > Performance > Clear Cache) and hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R).
- Test: Check nested dropdowns in navigation.
Verification
- The multi-line format won’t affect functionality—LESS will process it correctly.
- If icons still don’t appear, share a DevTools screenshot of the nested dropdown HTML at 10:22 PM PDT on September 29, 2025.
Go with the multi-line version unless you’re strictly adhering to the theme’s aesthetic—let me know how it turns out!
[44] DANIEL:
Please help me write an override to the minified style like we have done earlier to add into the social-icons.css for this: It is to make the icon background in the style switcher darker
.StyleSwitcher div.style-switcher ul.social-icons li em { background-color: rgb(101, 101, 99); }
[45] GROK:
Since you're looking to override the minified style-switcher.min.css file to make the icon background in the StyleSwitcher darker (as specified with background-color: rgb(101, 101, 99)), and we’ve been successfully adding overrides to social-icons.css for other icon fixes, we can continue using that approach. The StyleSwitcher div.style-switcher ul.social-icons li em selector targets the icon elements within the StyleSwitcher’s social icons list, and adding this override to social-icons.css will apply the darker background without modifying the minified file directly.
Updated CSS for social-icons.css
Add the following code to the end of social-icons.css (located at /Portals/_default/Skins/Tahoe/Resources/social-icons.css or your skin’s equivalent path). This will override the existing StyleSwitcher styling for the icon backgrounds:
``css / Override StyleSwitcher icon background to darker color / .StyleSwitcher div.style-switcher ul.social-icons li em { background-color: rgb(101, 101, 99) !important; } ``
Implementation Steps
- Edit
social-icons.css:
- Open the file in DNN File Management. - Append the code above after the existing rules (e.g., after the last social icon overrides). - Save.
- Clear Cache and Test:
- Clear DNN cache (Admin > Site Settings > Advanced > Performance > Clear Cache). - Hard refresh the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R). - Open the StyleSwitcher (likely under Admin > Site Settings > Skin Settings or a custom tab) and verify that the social icon backgrounds are now darker (rgb(101, 101, 99), a muted grey).
Explanation
- Selector Specificity:
.StyleSwitcher div.style-switcher ul.social-icons li emmatches the exact structure used instyle-switcher.min.css, ensuring the override targets the correct elements. !important: This forces the new background color to override any existing rules in the minified file, which is necessary since minified CSS often has high specificity or inline styles.- Color Choice:
rgb(101, 101, 99)is a dark grey, contrasting with the previous white or light background. Adjust to a theme variable (e.g.,@color-darkfromvariables.less.txt) if you prefer dynamic theming, likebackground-color: @color-dark !important;, but the RGB value works as-is.
Verification
- Inspect Icons: In DevTools, right-click a social icon in the StyleSwitcher > Inspect. Confirm the
background-colorin the Computed tab isrgb(101, 101, 99). - Visual Check: Ensure the icons remain legible (e.g., white icons on this dark background work well—your existing
color: #FFF !importantshould handle this). - Issue: If the background doesn’t change, share a DevTools screenshot of the
<em>tag’s computed styles at 10:25 AM PDT on September 30, 2025. It might need a more specific selector or higher precedence.
This should darken the StyleSwitcher icon backgrounds effectively. Let me know the result!
[46] DANIEL:
Please write this revised so I can adjust the onhover color to be 8D0000
/ Prevent visited link color from affecting icons / .social-icons li a, .social-icons li a:visited, .social-icons li a:active { color: #FFF !important; text-decoration: none !important; background-color: transparent !important; }
[47] GROK:
To revise the CSS and add an onhover color of #8D0000 (a dark red) for the social icons, we’ll extend the existing rules in social-icons.css to include the :hover pseudo-class. This will ensure the icons remain white by default, prevent visited link colors, and change to #8D0000 on hover, while keeping the other properties (e.g., text-decoration, background-color) consistent.
Updated CSS for social-icons.css
Add or replace the existing block with the following code at the end of social-icons.css (located at /Portals/_default/Skins/Tahoe/Resources/social-icons.css or your skin’s equivalent path):
``css / Prevent visited link color from affecting icons and add hover effect / .social-icons li a, .social-icons li a:visited, .social-icons li a:active { color: #FFF !important; text-decoration: none !important; background-color: transparent !important; } .social-icons li a:hover { color: #8D0000 !important; / Dark red on hover / text-decoration: none !important; background-color: transparent !important; } ``
Implementation Steps
- Edit
social-icons.css:
- Open the file in DNN File Management. - Append or update the code above after the existing social icon rules. - Save.
- Clear Cache and Test:
- Clear DNN cache (Admin > Site Settings > Advanced > Performance > Clear Cache). - Hard refresh the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R). - Hover over a social icon (e.g., X, YouTube) on the webpage and verify the color changes to #8D0000 (dark red).
Explanation
- Default States:
.social-icons li a,.social-icons li a:visited, and.social-icons li a:activekeep the icons white (#FFF) and remove underlines or backgrounds. - Hover State:
.social-icons li a:hoversets the hover color to#8D0000, maintaining the no-underline and transparent background for consistency with your design. !important: Ensures these styles override any conflicting rules from the theme or Font Awesome.
Verification
- Inspect Hover: In DevTools, hover over a social icon and inspect the
<a>tag. Confirm the Computed tab showscolor: #8D0000on hover. - Contrast Check: Ensure
#8D0000is visible against your background (e.g., dark grey from@color-header). If needed, adjust to a lighter shade (e.g.,#A30000) and test. - Issue: If the hover color doesn’t apply, share a DevTools screenshot of the
<a>tag’s computed styles at 10:43 AM PDT on September 30, 2025.
This should give you the desired hover effect. Let me know how it works!
[48] DANIEL:
sorry - did not work, and yes, I cleared browser and server cache, and restarted. I know it did not work, becasue I also removed (unselected) one of the social icons to test the changes, and the icon is no longer shown, but the on-hover is still white.
Is this because we must explicitly write it in all the social icon css individually?

[49] GROK:
Thanks for sharing the full social-icons.css content and the details about the issue. The problem you’re describing—where the hover effect isn’t working (still showing white) even after clearing caches and restarting, and the icon disappearing when unselected—suggests a few potential causes:
- The
.social-icons li a:hoverrule might not be specific enough to override existing styles, especially if the theme or Font Awesome applies inline or higher-specificity styles. - The icon disappearance when unselected could indicate that the
display: inline-blocklogic tied to.activeis overriding the hover state, or the StyleSwitcher regeneration is interfering. - Writing the hover effect individually for each social icon isn’t necessary unless the icons have unique parent classes, but we can test a more targeted approach to ensure it works.
Let’s revise the CSS to make the hover effect more robust and ensure it applies to all social icons consistently. We won’t need to write it individually for each icon unless further debugging shows otherwise, but we’ll use a more specific selector to target the em elements directly, which should resolve the issue.
Revised CSS for Hover Effect
Update the hover-related block in social-icons.css by replacing the existing hover rule with a more specific one. Add this to the end of social-icons.css (after the last }):
``css / Prevent visited link color from affecting icons and add targeted hover effect / .social-icons li a em, .social-icons li a em:visited, .social-icons li a em:active { color: #FFF !important; text-decoration: none !important; background-color: transparent !important; } .social-icons li a em:hover { color: #8D0000 !important; / Dark red on hover / text-decoration: none !important; background-color: transparent !important; } ``
Why This Change?
- Targeting
emDirectly: The original rule targeted.social-icons li a, which applies to the<a>tag containing the<em>with the icon. However, the color inheritance might be affected by theem’s own styles or Font Awesome’s defaults. By targeting.social-icons li a em, we ensure the hover effect applies to the icon element itself. - Specificity: Adding
emincreases specificity, overriding any conflicting styles from the theme or Font Awesome kit. - No Individual Overrides Needed: Since all social icons (
fa-x-twitter,fa-youtube, etc.) are within<em>tags under.social-icons li a, this single rule should cover them all, avoiding the need to repeat it for each icon unless their containers differ (e.g., custom classes inscotomaville.xml).
Implementation Steps
- Edit
social-icons.css:
- Open /Portals/_default/Skins/Tahoe/Resources/social-icons.css. - Replace the existing block: ``css / Prevent visited link color from affecting icons and add hover effect / .social-icons li a, .social-icons li a:visited, .social-icons li a:active { color: #FFF !important; text-decoration: none !important; background-color: transparent !important; } .social-icons li a:hover { color: #8D0000 !important; / Dark red on hover / text-decoration: none !important; background-color: transparent !important; } `` with the new block above. - Save.
- Clear Cache and Test:
- Clear DNN cache (Admin > Site Settings > Advanced > Performance > Clear Cache). - Hard refresh the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R). - Hover over each social icon (e.g., X, YouTube) and verify the color changes to #8D0000. - Test by unselecting an icon in the StyleSwitcher (e.g., remove YouTube) and save—ensure the icon disappears as expected without affecting hover on others.
Troubleshooting the Disappearance Issue
- Icon Disappearance: The fact that unselecting an icon removes it suggests the StyleSwitcher is correctly toggling
.active(perul.social-icons li.active { display: inline-block; }). This is normal behavior. If the hover still doesn’t work on remaining icons, it’s not related to the unselection but rather the specificity issue. - Hover Still White: If the hover remains white, it could be due to:
- A higher-specificity rule (e.g., from BaseTheme.less.txt or inline styles). - The em color being overridden by Font Awesome’s default styles. - Check DevTools on hover: Inspect the <em> tag and look at the Computed tab for color. If it’s still #FFF, note any overriding rules (e.g., !important from another file).
Alternative: Individual Hover Overrides (If Needed)
If the above doesn’t work, we can try applying the hover effect to each icon individually to isolate the issue. Add this instead: ``css / Targeted hover effect for each social icon / .social-icons em.fa-x-twitter:hover { color: #8D0000 !important; } .social-icons em.fa-instagram:hover { color: #8D0000 !important; } .social-icons em.fa-linkedin:hover { color: #8D0000 !important; } .social-icons em.fa-facebook:hover { color: #8D0000 !important; } .social-icons em.fa-pinterest:hover { color: #8D0000 !important; } .social-icons em.fa-youtube:hover { color: #8D0000 !important; } ``
- Test this separately if the first solution fails.
Verification
- Hover Test: Hover over each icon—color should change to
#8D0000. - Unselection Test: Unselect an icon and save—the icon should disappear, and hover should still work on others.
- Debug: If it fails, share a DevTools screenshot of the
<em>tag’s computed styles on hover at 11:15 AM PDT on September 30, 2025.
Start with the first solution—it’s the most efficient. Let me know the outcome!
[50] DANIEL:
I am also trying to style the login icon (user) to match the red 8d0000, but it seems that the current style is written INLINE? How do I find that? Inline where?, and if it is in the default.css, I believe that file gets overwritten on each upgrade. So is there a way in the social-icons.css to make the icon match onhover?
[51] GROK:
Great to hear you're refining the design further! The issue with the login icon (user) not matching the #8D0000 hover color, and the suspicion of inline styles, is a common challenge with DNN themes like Tahoe 2.1.2, especially when default files like default.css are involved. Let’s address this step-by-step: finding the inline style, understanding its source, and creating an override in social-icons.css to match the social icons' hover effect.
Step 1: Identify the Inline Style
- What is an Inline Style?: An inline style is CSS applied directly within an HTML element’s
styleattribute (e.g.,<i class="fa-user" style="color: #someColor;">). This has the highest specificity and overrides external CSS unless countered with!importantor more specific selectors. - Where to Find It?:
- Inspect in DevTools: - Open the page with the login icon in your browser. - Right-click the login icon (likely a user silhouette) > Inspect. - Look at the <i> or <span> tag with class="fa-user" (from your login_popup .fa-user rule). - Check the Elements tab for a style="color: ..." attribute. If present, that’s the inline style. - Source File: Inline styles can originate from: - The DNN core or a module (e.g., Login.ascx or a JavaScript file injecting styles). - The theme’s Home.ascx or a dynamically generated script (e.g., from StyleSwitcher or a control). - default.css (if it’s part of the DNN skin package), which gets overwritten on upgrades as you noted. - Default.css Location: Typically at /Portals/_default/default.css or within the skin folder (/Portals/_default/Skins/Tahoe/default.css). However, since it’s overwritten on upgrades, modifying it isn’t a long-term solution.
- Current Observation: Your
social-icons.cssincludes:
``css .login_popup .fa-user { font-size: 14px !important; / Visually align with social icons / } .login_popup .fa-user:hover { color: #8d0000 !important; / Dark red on hover / } ` If the hover isn’t applying, an inline style="color: #FFF" (or similar) on the <i class="fa-user">` tag is likely overriding it.
Step 2: Confirm the Source
- Check
Home.ascx: Open/Portals/_default/Skins/Tahoe/Home.ascxand search forfa-userorlogin_popup. Look for a<dnn:LOGIN>control or inlinestyleattributes. - Check Module Output: If the login icon comes from a DNN module (e.g., Login module), inspect the rendered HTML source (View Page Source) to see if a script or inline style is injected.
- Default.css Check: Open
/Portals/_default/default.cssand search for.login_popup .fa-useror.fa-user. If found, note it’s temporary until the next upgrade.
Step 3: Override in social-icons.css
Since default.css is overwritten on upgrades, and inline styles are dynamic, the best approach is to use social-icons.css with a highly specific selector to override the inline style. We’ll target the login_popup .fa-user class and ensure the hover matches the social icons’ #8D0000.
Updated CSS for social-icons.css
Add or update the login icon block at the end of social-icons.css:
```css / Style login icon to match social icons with hover effect / .login_popup .fa-user { font-size: 14px !important; / Visually align with social icons / color: #FFF !important; / Default color to match social icons / } .login_popup .fa-user:hover { color: #8D0000 !important; / Dark red on hover, matching social icons / }
/ Prevent visited link color from affecting icons and add targeted hover effect / .social-icons li a em, .social-icons li a em:visited, .social-icons li a em:active { color: #FFF !important; text-decoration: none !important; background-color: transparent !important; } .social-icons li a em:hover { color: #8D0000 !important; / Dark red on hover / text-decoration: none !important; background-color: transparent !important; } ```
Why This Works
- Inline Override: Adding
color: #FFF !importantandcolor: #8D0000 !importanton:hovershould overpower inline styles, as!importantwith a specific class (.login_popup .fa-user) has higher precedence than a generic inlinestyle. - Consistency: Matches the social icons’ white default and
#8D0000hover, aligning the design. - No Default.css Change: Avoids upgrade issues by keeping the fix in a custom file (
social-icons.css).
Implementation Steps
- Edit
social-icons.css:
- Open /Portals/_default/Skins/Tahoe/Resources/social-icons.css. - Replace the existing .login_popup .fa-user block with the updated code above. - Save.
- Clear Cache and Test:
- Clear DNN cache (Admin > Site Settings > Advanced > Performance > Clear Cache). - Hard refresh the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R). - Hover over the login icon and verify the color changes to #8D0000. Check the default state is #FFF.
Troubleshooting
- Hover Still Not Applying:
- Inspect the <i class="fa-user"> tag in DevTools on hover. If color shows an inline style (e.g., style="color: #FFF"), the inline specificity is too high. - Add a more specific override: .login_popup a .fa-user:hover { color: #8D0000 !important; } (if wrapped in an <a> tag). - Share a DevTools screenshot of the tag’s computed styles at 11:30 AM PDT on September 30, 2025.
- Source Unclear: If you can’t find the inline style’s origin, check the page source (Ctrl+U) for
<style>tags or JavaScript adding it.
This should sync the login icon’s hover with the social icons. Let me know the result!
