Hello,
"1) point is in the right direction for a solution?"
=> Unfortunately I processed advanced search and wasn't able to found this old topic, and I don't know why... Sorry for this return.
But as you can imagine, we can't guide you to achieved this little custom.
Step 1 : Create an
override view
to add directly your fontawesome icon
Step 2 : Add your
custom Css
to style your fontawesome icon.
Tips : From Main HikaShop Configuration, go to Advanced tab, and in Advanced Settings part, active the Display view files option to Frontend to see directly on your frontend view references to more easily see which view you have to custom through an override view.
"2) consider adding an icon option for the mini cart in a future version?"
=> No, because unfortunately, it's not the HikaShop components' job to manage advanced display elements.
But we provide plugin in our
Marketplace
some plugins to increase display of your e-commerce, an especially one for the
cart module
.
Regards
