This module provides integration between base_fontawesome and Odoo's web_editor to ensure FontAwesome >= 6.7.2 icons are properly displayed in the web editor.
It patches the font icon detection system to work with FontAwesome >= 6.7.2 CSS structure and filters CSS rules to only process those containing the --fa variable.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Makes FontAwesome 6.7.2 and newer icons appear correctly in Odoo's web editor, so users can pick and insert icons when editing web pages and content.
This module is a technical compatibility fix with no menus or screens of its own. It changes how Odoo's web editor detects and lists FontAwesome icons, so that icons from FontAwesome version 6.7.2 and later are recognised and shown properly in the editor's icon picker.
What changes for users:
- When editing web pages or content with the web editor, the icon selection works with the newer FontAwesome icon set instead of missing or misreading those icons.
- Only style rules that actually define an icon (the ones carrying the --fa variable) are taken into account, and duplicate icons are skipped, so the list of available icons stays clean.
Where it applies:
- It loads in both the front-end and back-end editor assets, and in the media dialog used to insert images and icons.
- It relies on the web_editor and base_fontawesome modules and installs automatically when both are present.
It does not add any business rules, checks, emails, scheduled jobs or new data models; it only adjusts the editor's icon detection behaviour.
