Adding non-SVG custom footer icons

[AA-Turner]

I wanted to add a icon for NumFOCUS in the footer social icons (``params.footer.socialmedia[0].icon), but I got the following error:

ERROR render of "page" failed: "S:\Development\Econ-ARK\econ-ark.org\themes\scientific-python-hugo-theme\layouts\_default\baseof.html:42:7": execute of template failed: template: _default/single.html:42:7: executing "_default/sing

I tried adding an image to assets/css/icons, but to no avail, as it was a PNG.

This is an issue partly as I couldn't find any info on the docs about custon icons, and secondly a request for if a built-in NumFOCUS icon might be added, or support for raster images (PNG, JPEG, WebP, etc?).

Thank you for making a great theme!

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this. I have some higher priorities at the moment, but I'll try to take a look at this next week.

I think I understand what you're doing here, but to be sure, would you please provide concrete steps to reproduce the problem? Thanks.
