Standards App Icon Fix Summary

Overview

Updated all standards app templates to use SVG icons from the action_icons template tag instead of FontAwesome icons. This makes the standards app consistent with other apps in the project and removes the dependency on FontAwesome.

5. Accessibility: SVG icons can be made more accessible than FontAwesome

Icon Mapping

FontAwesome	Action Icon	Usage
fa-plus	create	Add/Create actions
fa-edit	edit	Edit/Update actions
fa-trash	delete	Delete actions
fa-arrow-left	back	Back navigation
fa-save	save	Save actions
fa-exclamation-triangle	warning	Warning messages
fa-paperclip	attachment	Attachments
fa-building	folder	Folders/containers

Technical Details

• The action_icons template tag is located at: apps/social/templatetags/action_icons.py
• Icons are rendered as inline SVG elements
• Icons support size parameter (default: 16px)
• All SVGs include proper accessibility attributes (aria-hidden, role)

Size Control

The action_icon template tag accepts an optional size parameter to control icon dimensions:

{% action_icon "edit" size=20 %}    <!-- 20x20 pixels -->
{% action_icon "delete" size=24 %}   <!-- 24x24 pixels -->
{% action_icon "create" size=32 %}    <!-- 32x32 pixels -->
{% action_icon "folder" size=64 %}    <!-- 64x64 pixels -->

Recommended Sizes

Use Case	Size	Example
Inline buttons (btn-sm)	14-16	{% action_icon "edit" %}
Standard buttons	16-20	{% action_icon "save" size=20 %}
Large buttons (btn-lg)	20-24	{% action_icon "create" size=24 %}
Empty state icons	48-64	{% action_icon "folder" size=64 %}
Hero/feature icons	64-96	{% action_icon "star" size=96 %}

Size Examples in Templates

{# Small icon for inline badges #}
<span class="badge bg-info">
    {% action_icon "attachment" size=12 %}
    3 files
</span>

{# Default size for action buttons #}
<button class="btn btn-primary">
    {% action_icon "create" %}
    Add Item
</button>

{# Larger icon for primary actions #}
<button class="btn btn-lg btn-success">
    {% action_icon "save" size=24 %}
    Save Changes
</button>

{# Extra large icon for empty states #}
<div class="text-center py-5">
    <span class="text-muted mb-3 d-block">
        {% action_icon "folder" size=64 %}
    </span>
    <h5>No items found</h5>
</div>

Testing Recommendations

1. Navigate to all standards app pages
2. Verify all buttons display icons correctly
3. Check icon alignment with text
4. Verify icons work on different screen sizes
5. Test with different browser rendering engines
