How can I add icons to the top right navigation of the Dawn 2.0 theme?

I am looking to add additional icons to the top right navigation of the Dawn 2.0 theme.

It would be ideal if when you hover over the icon, you get alt text of what the icon means.

The link for the site I’m working on is - https://www.eskuta.com/

Many thanks!

Hi @LidDM221 ,

It’s James from FoxEcom team.

To add more icon to the Dawn navigation, do as following instructions:

  • Open file: sections/header.liquid

  • Find the part as my screenshot: line 608 - 625 or find the line below


Get example code below


   Your title
   {% render 'icon-cart' %}

Please replace to your title and svg code what you want to show.

Thanks so much for this James!

How would I use FontAwesome or other SVG files as the images? I can see that the “{% render ‘icon-cart’ %}” line leads to another piece of liquid code, I tried to add in a path I found online for the “d=” attribute of the SVG code after I copied the same code in the ‘icon-cart.liquid’ file and then renamed it to ‘icon-spanner’ but my path doesn’t seem to work (also it was a different size even though I copied the same code from icon-card.liquid.

hi @LidDM221

You can use this code to add an alt text to all header icon. Just copy the code and paste it into sections > header.liquid file

Hi @LidDM221 ,

You should use svg code for better performance, if you want to show the spanner icon, just copy its svg code from FontAwesome or copy my code below, see the result: https://take.ms/hq8Eu


         Your title
         
      

Let’s see in the code above, we have to add a class “icon” to the SVG tag and a fill=“currentColor” attribute to the path of SVG to make it has the same size and color with other icons on the header.

Regards,

James from FoxEcom.
