Hi generators,
a site I develop with GB2.0 has buttons with icons. It seems like for every button I put on the site, I’ll have to put the icon seperately? There are lot’s of subpages and maybe one day the client wants another icon – this would be hell.
I tried to work with a class,
::afterandcontent: url("data:image/svg+xml...)and put my encoded SVG there. But then it loses the ability to change color on hover wich is important.Is there a way to have a button class where the correct SVG is always attached inline?

Hi there,
No, the icon is HTML, you can not use CSS to make HTML elements.
Try saving the buttons as patterns, so you client can insert the buttons from the pattern selections.
-
This is sad. Because the patterns must be unsynched to change the URL and the button text. If we change the icon, it has to be changed in every instance. Another reason why GenerateBlocks needs 🌟components🌟 👀☺️ Thanks for your answer.

You can create the pattern as a non-synced pattern, right?
-
Right. And then I would have to change the SVG icon manually in every instance, not once globally.
-
Right. But you can create button patterns with different icons.
-
(with lots of different URLs and button texts, and some variations for dark background and sizes depending on context. Changing the icon color on hover.)Client: “We finally got around to make custom icons for our company. Could you exchange the chevron to our new icon?”
Me: “😱😱😱”
Do you see the challenge? What would be the best way to approach it? Having synched patterns for every possible button destination seems overkill. Having unsynched patterns leaves me with having to update 120+ button icons manually.

I understand the challenges. Unfortunately, we don’t have an effective solution to offer at this time.
