# Feature: The profile editing icon set {#feature-profile-editing-icon-set}

## Description {#description}

The profile editing frontend addresses its action icons through fourteen
identifiers registered in `Configuration/Icons.php`:

| Identifier | Action |
| --- | --- |
| `academic-persons-edit-add` | Add an entry to a list |
| `academic-persons-edit-back` | Leave the editor |
| `academic-persons-edit-clear` | Clear the value of a field |
| `academic-persons-edit-delete` | Delete an entry |
| `academic-persons-edit-edit` | Start editing a field or an entry |
| `academic-persons-edit-help` | Show the help text of a field |
| `academic-persons-edit-move-down` | Move an entry down |
| `academic-persons-edit-move-up` | Move an entry up |
| `academic-persons-edit-save` | Apply an edit |
| `academic-persons-edit-sort-handle` | Drag handle of a sortable entry |
| `academic-persons-edit-undo` | Undo an edit |
| `academic-persons-edit-upload-image` | Upload or replace the profile image |
| `academic-persons-edit-view` | Open the public view of a record |
| `academic-persons-edit-view-close` | Close the read view a row action opened |
| `academic-persons-edit-visible` | The visibility toggle of a contact that is shown in the frontend |
| `academic-persons-edit-hidden` | The visibility toggle of a contact that is hidden in the frontend |

Identifier and file name are the action, never the drawing: a later icon set
changes the glyph, not the API the templates address.

The files are [Bootstrap Icons](https://icons.getbootstrap.com/) and carry
their MIT licence in
`Resources/Public/Icons/LICENSE-bootstrap-icons.txt`. They are drawn in
`currentColor` and registered with
`\FGTCLB\AcademicBase\Imaging\IconProvider\CurrentColorSvgIconProvider`,
which inlines the file instead of rendering an `<img>` \- so a glyph takes
the colour of the button it sits in, in the frontend as much as in a dark
backend colour scheme.

## Impact {#impact}

The identifiers are public API. A site package that wants different artwork
re-registers one of them in its own `Configuration/Icons.php` with its
own file and needs no template override; a file registered that way is drawn
in `currentColor` as well, or it will not follow the surrounding text.

Five of the identifiers - `academic-persons-edit-edit`,
`academic-persons-edit-view`, `academic-persons-edit-delete`,
`academic-persons-edit-save` and `academic-persons-edit-back` \- existed
before and now resolve to the new artwork and the new provider. An
installation that renders them through the shipped templates sees a different
glyph that follows the text colour instead of a fixed dark grey.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

All installations using the `EXT:academic_persons_edit` extension starting
with version 3.0.

## Migration {#migration}

No migration is required. An installation that re-registered one of the five
existing identifiers in a site package keeps its own artwork, since a later
registration wins.
