Icon picker field
complete

Dominique Pijnenburg
I saw that ACF is currently in the works for adding an icon-picker for post-types and option-pages. Please make this available as a field-type as well!
For developers it would be great to be able to configure a folder where icons are stored, or even be able to install a font-library like Font Awesome.

I would also like a filter so I could add custom icon sets based on directories in the theme, say.
Iain Poulson
Cory Birdsong I've raised this idea as a separate post here https://feedback.wpengine.com/acf/p/easily-add-custom-icon-sets-to-the-icon-picker-field, as this post for the field type has been completed

The following part is not implemented yet:
"For developers it would be great to be able to configure a folder where icons are stored, or even be able to install a font-library like Font Awesome."
Do I need to make a new request, or will it be implemented for sure?
Iain Poulson
Dominique Pijnenburg: good catch, re-opened. There are some filters there to be used.

Iain Poulson that's great news! Do you know for which version of ACF this is planned? And do you have any comments on the ideas in my opening post?
Iain Poulson
Dominique Pijnenburg: We are hoping ship it in ACF 6.3 coming soon. Those are great ideas for using different icon sets, something we have discussed but might not be possible in the v1 of the field when it's released initially.

Iain Poulson That it won't be added to the first version is understandable. I am glad that you think these are great ideas. ;)
