How do you create a glyphicon field

[alexbones]

How do you create a field with the glyphicon field type? To be able to get the fontawsome icons is there anything else you need to do other than setting the attribute to iconset=fontawesome?

I'm trying to add this to a catalog item.

if you are creating a field on a table, you should be able to do using type as Glyph Icon (Bootstrap)

For variable I dont think thats possible. Did you try with iconset=fontawesome in the attribute?

That type isn't available as my list of options. I have tried using the icons field type, but that displays a different icon set and the fontawesome attribute updating the icon set.

You need the maint role and change the flag in sys_glide_object table to true to make it visible for selection. Write now this table is readonly for admins.

sweet, thank you. That is just what I was needing. I wrote a background script to update the visible field to true and I am now able to set new fields to the glyphicon type.
