Search Button #4

Closed alaina13 closed 10 years ago

alaina13 commented 10 years ago

Hello!

The search button is now showing up correctly; it looks like the value is set to "fl". Here is a capture of what it looks like.

EDIT: So I went into the editor and changed the value to "search", but the font is set to serif. I'm a bit of a newbie at PHP, so I'm not sure how to fix this on the back end.

This might be an issue with Font Awesome. What device/OS/browser are you viewing it from?

lukefretwell commented 10 years ago

Do the icons below the main homepage hero unit show up?

alaina13 commented 10 years ago

Hi Luke,

I'm using Windows 7 and Chrome Version 31.0.1650.63 m. The icons are not showing up just the text for the different quick links. Here's a screenshot: hero unit capture

(I would send you a link, but I'm hosting the site on my computer.)

It may be a compatibility issue. Looks like Font Awesome doesn't work there. I might need to remove that functionality. Let me look into it further.

Maybe switch to open sans from Google?

lukefretwell commented 10 years ago

Re-opened. Not the issue I was thinking it was.

@alaina13 can you make sure the Font Awesome css file is linking correctly?

alaina13 commented 10 years ago

This is the css code I have in the style.css file: input[type="submit"] { font-family: FontAwesome; }

I'm not sure how to check if it is linking correctly...sorry!

Edit: Do you think this might have something to do with my hosting the page on my computer/usb?

lukefretwell commented 10 years ago

Can you send me the information? I'm wondering if it's not pulling the Font Awesome file correctly.

lukefretwell commented 10 years ago

The issue is that it's not reading the path to the Font Awesome CSS folder.

For some reason, GitHub adds a '-master' at the end of the file when you download.

Need to remove that so the folder is just 'govfreshwp' instead of 'govfreshwp-master.'
