Additional Social Media

Hi,

I noticed it appears there is code for LinkedIn and Vimeo in the source and the images directory but i do not see them in the theme options, social media section. We do not use rss or pinterest and would very much need to have LinkedIn and Vimeo. How can we either add this to the theme options or substitute?

 

Hello,

Go to images directory present in your theme directory and replace your LinkedIn image with your present rss.png image or edit it.
Note:- Use same name for your edited image and remove the current image.


Similarly, replace the your Vimeo image with your present pinterest.png image or edit it. And use same name for your edited image and remove the current image.

Go to the header.php file present in your theme directory and follow the instruction shown in the image given below.



Now, You can use Rss link section for LinkedIn and Pinterent link section for your Vimeo in your dashboard.
This will solve your issue.

 

I thought about doing that as well already, but with the footer and the social-icons.png image this will not work. If i simply rename Pinterest to LinkedIn, it will still show the wrong image in the footer for the icon/hover-icon.
My thought was to add another section of code to the theme-options.php similar to

PHP:

$options[] = array("name" => "LinkedIn URL",
            "desc" => "Mention the URL of your LinkedIn here.",
            "id" => "inkthemes_linkedin",
            "std" => "",
            "type" => "text")

and then add something like

PHP:

<?php if (inkthemes_get_option('inkthemes_linkedin') != '') { ?>
                                <li class="ln"><a href="<?php echo inkthemes_get_option('inkthemes_linkedin'); ?>" alt="LinkedIn" title="LinkedIn" target="_blank"></a></li>
                            <?php } ?>

since the linkedin class already exists in the css stylesheet.

Code:

.footer_social_icons .social_logos li.ln a {
    background: url(images/social-icons.png) no-repeat -282px 0;
    width: 45px;
    height: 66px;
}
.footer_social_icons .social_logos li.ln a:hover {
    background: url('images/social-icons.png') no-repeat -282px -68px;
    width: 45px;
    height: 66px;
}

then in footer.php add the following

PHP:

 <li class="ln"><a href="<?php echo inkthemes_get_option('inkthemes_linkedin'); ?>" alt="LinkedIn" target="_blank"></a></li>
                        <?php } ?> 

but i can't get it to work

Hello joe,

We have not received your dashboard.
Please send again or you can also send me a personal message here at forum.

Thanks & Regards

Just now resent to email address. Please remember, I'm not looking to simply reuse existing fields as the footer icons will not be correct. The is already code available in the them files for linked in and social-icons.png for but it is not exposed in theme-options.php.

 

I updated the theme that was provided to me, and have changed it not to use a child theme for the moment. I do now see additional spaces in the theme options for both Vimeo and LinkedIn, however the two social media icons do NOT appear in the header and in the footer an RSS icon is being used for LinkedIn. Nothing is represented for Vimeo in the footer.

Thank you for your continued work on this.

Regards,

Joe
