Get field icon on frontend

[tpr]

Is it possible to retrieve the icon of a field set in the admin? Eg. setting a "phone" icon to a "Phone" field in the admin, and then use this icon (name) in the templates?

This should do the trick!

$f = $fields->get("body");
echo '<i class="fa '.$f->icon.'"></i>';

PS make sure you load this on the page:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/wire/templates-admin/styles/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css" type="text/css">

Thanks, it really did! Could have thought about the $fields variable myself

This is a great way to add icons using the admin, without any additional stuff.

Another way is

{$page->fields->yourField->icon}

Or you can go even shorter with: 

$fields->yourField->icon

Indeed, thanks!

I usually don't want to go shorter but this is an exception
