We will be loading a page type with a handle of right_sidebar. Feel free to change this handle to something appropriate for your concrete5 instance if right_sidebar does not exist.

The steps for getting the icon for a page are as follows:

concrete5 returns a string containing the actual HTML image tag with the collection type's icon.

If you would like to get the numeric ID of the file containing the page type icon, you can simply call this function:

$iconId = $pageType->getCollectionTypeIcon();

The numeric ID is useful when working with the file manager in concrete5, which is discussed in detail in Chapter 3, Files and File Sets of this book.
