Q2A doesn't have a built-in bell icon (so far) so you need to find one first. There are at least two ways of including an icon in that place:
- Option 1: Use an '<img>' HTML tag
- Option 2: Use a built-in webfont icon
Just comment out the line of code at q2apro-onsitenotifications-layer.php:126 and then add, adjust, and uncomment the option that works for you:
$tooltip = qa_lang('q2apro_onsitenotifications_lang/show_notifications');
//$eventcount = qa_opt('q2apro_onsitenotifications_nill');
// Option 1
//$eventcount = '<img src="' . qa_html(qa_path_absolute('') . 'qa-theme/SnowFlat/images/icons/show.png') . '" style="vertical-align: middle;">';
// Option 2
//$eventcount = '<span class="icon-arrows-cw"></span>';
$classSuffix = 'nill'; // add notify bubble to user navigation
There's a bell icon in Font Awesome webfont so you might be intrested in adding it to the built-in webfont. Here are a couple of posts that will give you a hand on that:
After adding it, the 'icon-bell' and 'icon-bell-alt' classes can be used instead of 'icon-arrows-cw'.
// Option 2
$eventcount = '<span class="icon-bell"></span>';
for getting this:
// Option 2
$eventcount = '<span class="icon-bell-alt"></span>';
for getting this:
