[Resolved] Ability to add custom icon

I would love to be able to add a custom icon to the post types shown in the sidebar. Seems like this could be implemented easily enough with a field at the bottom of the choose icon modal. The icons provided work about 75% of the time, but sometimes I think a custom icon would work better. I think this would be a popular feature. Thanks!

One possibility is to add the Icon with the inbuilt features of Types (we provide a large set of icons as you discovered already).

Another possible approach is to use Custom Code and filter the Post Type you create with Types.
Then add your own custom icon.

You can use the filter wpcf_type.

This lets you filter an array of $params and when you want to change the menu_icon you can it like this:

add_filter( 'wpcf_type', 'toolset_add_custom_icon', 10, 2 );

function toolset_add_custom_icon( $params, $post_type ) {

    // adjust to your needs
    $cpt_slug   = 'toolset-post-type';

    
    if( $post_type != $cpt_slug ) {
        return $params;
    }

  $params['menu_icon']='any_image_url'; 

    return $params;

}

But there is also a Feature filed to allow this directly within the GUI.
I added your voice to it.

Thanks Beda! The code you provided will fill the gap until the feature is (hopefully) implemented.

This works great but only for a single custom post type. How do you add 2 or 3 icons to 2 or 3 custom post types?
