I have searched the forums but can't find anything on this, I'm trying to change a link on the footer social links section, but can't remember where to do that.

Thanks in advance.

I've been changing my tooter template file (footer.tpl) file... but I do wonder if there's any easier way to add social links. I'd be curious if you find the option.

Which skin are you using? If its Nova the settings would be in skin settings social networks tab I believe. Not sure about other skins. I know media pro doesn't have them by default.

All JR5 skins should have a social network tab in the skins settings.

Are you using the Ningja skin? For some reason that one doesn't have the social settings. I'll raise a ticket for that and get it fixed up.
Thanks

Thank you Paul. I entered the URLs for those. How do you activate the links/logos?

You don't enter URLs, just your profile/user name. Once done, the linked icons will show in the footer.

How do I put a Facebook page in then? As apposed to a facebook user?

I've put in a twitter user name but still don't see any icons yet.

I think it might be because I customized the Footer. So I'll have to merge th code. But it's not letting me de-activate the custom footer template right now.

Yep - If you have a custom footer template you'll need to merge in the new code, but what do you mean by "it's not letting me de-activate the custom footer template right now"?

Cool
Tip - When developing put the site into Developer Mode (ACP=>Developer=>Developer Tools=>Global=>Run In Developer Mode) to disable caching.

I've reset the footer template and there's no social icons showing up. It's also not reverting the footer. It's still showing the footer I coded... you can tell because I added a logo and ti's not going away. Any idea why that might happen.

I have it working now. I have to admit YouTube is as much a social media go to location as the rest if more not more these days for my followers So it would be nice to add that in future updates.

Regardless, Thanks for the update Paul.

Thanks Michael. YouTube would be easy to add in but how much of a social media is it? I've never thought of it as one, maybe because no one has ever referenced or pointed me to their YT profile pages in any of my other online networking activities. Does anyone else here use YT as a social network?

Not specifically YouTube but a couple of other options might be handy - Reddit, Tumblr etc ?

Pretty simple for you to do. I've just added YouTube to the footer of my test site by uploading a YT icon image to the skin via the skin's Images tab then adding the following code to the template after all the others -
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCl2ErTwq80VEgLPF-lopkQ" target="_blank">{jrCore_image skin="jrNingja" image="youtube.jpeg" width="40" height="40" class="social-img" alt="youtube" title="Follow Paul on YouTube"}</a>
The same could be applied to Reddit, Tumblr etc.

Tried this for pinterest. Doesnt seem to be working. Here is the line I added:-

{if strlen($_conf.jrNingja_pinterest_name) > 0}
{jrCore_image skin="jrNingja" image="pinterest.jpeg" width="40" height="40" class="social-img" alt="pinterest" title="Follow AmeriCymru on Pinterest"}
{/if}


Fixed it :) Shouldn't have changed google name to pinterest name. I guess there is no such variable duh :)

Paul, do you happen to have a matching YouTube icon?

Ceri - There's no need to wrap the jrCore_image code and link in an {if} statement as there is no variable for it (as you deduced). It will be there all the time.

Michael - I just Googled 'youtube icon' and selected 'images' there were plenty to choose from and download. Just look for a 'square' one and don't worry too much about its size (as long as its less than a few hundred pixels square) as the width and height parameters in the jrCore_image call will scale it.
