Upgrade for Umbraco 9

[creativesuspects]

@mjbarlow This package could easily be upgrade to Umbraco 9 with just a few minor changes. I haven't had time to create a pull request (it was quicker to just include the code for the Models and PropertyValueConverters) in my current project. But you can download the updated code for the Models and PropertyValueConverters here:

Hi @creativesuspects, can you please elaborate how to update, using your code?

[creativesuspects]

Hi @lundmorten,

Just copy the App_Plugins/FaLinksPropertyEditor/ folder from the Github source into your Umbraco v9 project:

https://github.com/mjbarlow/Font-Awesome-Links-Property-Editor/tree/master/FaLinksPropertyEditor/App_Plugins/FaLinksPropertyEditor

And include the Models and PropertyValueConverters from my .zip package in the project and build the solution. You should then be able to create/use the available data types in this package:

Font Awesome Icon
Font Awesome Icon Buttons
Font Awesome Links

I may have some spare time to create a PR later this week.
Hopefully @mjbarlow is able to release version 2.x for Umbraco 9+ using my PR.

Am currently working on bringing this from a U8 project to U10 - I may take a look at your code @creativesuspects to try and produce an intermediary V9 package if I can.

@jamiehowarth0 I’ve actually created a custom package based on FontAwesomeLinksPropertyEditor with a bit more flexibility: it’s very easy to define multiple data types using different SVG sprites for the icon source (instead of a single json file). Also, when using SVG sprites you don’t have to include any webfonts for the icons. This custom package is compatible with Umbraco 10 and 11. I’d be happy to share the source code with you if you want.

I’ve only published this package on a private nuget server, but feel free to use my code to create your own nuget package.

@creativesuspects yes please! Better still - are you able to publish it as a Github repo? Happy to help turn it into a Nuget package from that - I'm trying to avoid having to compile third-party packages from source for my client project.

[creativesuspects]

@jamiehowarth0 Sure, I’ll do some project cleanup tomorrow and I’ll publish it to Github. I’ll let you know when the repo is available.

@creativesuspects thankyou so much! I look forward to seeing it 😁

Thanks, am archiving this repo. As am no longer supporting it. Looks like @creativesuspects has a great alternative!
