[solved] How do I set admin root menu icon?

[[email protected]]

I'm busy creating a module for Prestashop 1.5.x, and managed to add a new root menu to the admin backend. However, the icon for my item appears as a white block with a questionmark inside it.

 

How do I set this icon?

Just inspect the image with the question mark in chrome, and its src attribute will give you an indication of where the image needs to be and what you need to call it.

 

Make sure you got the case right.

In pretashop 1.5 to show an icon for main menu in a admin module , that is enough to have gif image in your module folder by name of tab name

for example when you create a new tab lik this
 

$tab = new Tab();
$tab->class_name = 'MyModule';
$tab->module = 'mymodule';
$tab->id_parent = 0;
foreach (Language::getLanguages(false) as $lang)
        $tab->name[(int) $lang['id_lang']] = 'MyModule';

you should put MyModule.gif image in your module folder ---->>>>> <prestashop root folder>/modules/mymodule/MyModule.gif


but in prestashop 1.6 and in bootstrap icon I've not found any way to asign a bootstrap icon to my module meno
if any one find please share it

in prestashop 1.6 you can achieve it as follows:
1- Check the css class of the new tab you made (it should be like this "icon-AdminMyModule" assuming your admin controller for the tab name is "AdminMyModuleController".

2- Create a css file in your module "menuTabIcon.css" and add the code you need, for example:
 

.icon-AdminMyModule:before{
    content: "\f021";
}

3- register your module with the "displayBackOfficeHeader" hook and implement this method:
 

 public function hookDisplayBackOfficeHeader($params) {
        $this->context->controller->addCSS(($this->_path) . 'menuTabIcon.css');
    }

You're done, this will display a refresh icon behind the menu item, if you need codes for other icons, find them here in the Fontawesome cheat sheet
