[SOLVED] Social Icons URL's are incorrect

It seems that no matter what format you enter the social icon URL's into the template parameters, the url link on the front end is incorrect.

For instance: enter http://www.facebook.com/someone into the Facebook URL parameter and the resulting link is: http://www.yoursite.com/www.facebook.comsomeone

I figured out the offending code is in /templates/gk_musicity/layouts/blocks/top.php but I have no real idea how to fix it.

I did find this thread on the forum however the code is completely different and everything I tried resulted in an error.

Any ideas how to fix? Thanks.

use the http:// at the front of the address, that usually fixes my problems like this

I'd already tried the url's with the preceding http:// format and every other variation but no url format seems to work. They all result in the same incorrect URL on the front end; with the base (home) url preceding the desired social network url and the trailing / being removed after the xxx.com.

It's not such a problem for me personally now as I've replaced the template's social icons with another module position and used a 3rd party extension instead. I imagine however, that it might be an issue for some other users.

I remembered that there is actually a fix for this I think you have to manually edit the params.ini file in your template folder to fix this. Try that

Hi!
I have the same problem. Did everything as mentioned above - has not helped. How to register url? Please, tell me!

Please put the http like this: http://

Thanks for the quick reply.
I prescribe "http:www.facebook.com/...", but still - "Oops! This link appears to be broken"

Hi

Please use the double slash before "http:"

Hi,
like this - //http:www.facebook.com? - Oops! This link appears to be broken.

Please indicate how the reference should look at an example

Hi,

the Slashes should be right after the http:

Try it like this:

Code: Select all

http://www.facebook.com/...

Not obtained. When I put this URL, then click on the "facebook" button, I get redirected to a page -
http://xn--90aiakggl0bl3hwa.xn--p1ai/O/publikacii/krasota/www.facebook.com!!!

Please try http://www.facebook.com/

It turned out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you SO MUCH!!!!

Hi

Please open the following file:
../gk_musicity/layouts/blocks/top.php


and replace this code

Code: Select all

<div id="gk-social-icons">
      <?php if($this->getParam('socialIcons1')) : ?>   
      <a href="<?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons1url'); ?>" id="gk-icons-facebook"><?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons1text'); ?></a>
      <?php endif; ?>
      <?php if($this->getParam('socialIcons2')) : ?>   
      <a href="<?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons2url'); ?>" id="gk-icons-vimeo"><?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons2text'); ?></a>
      <?php endif; ?>
      <?php if($this->getParam('socialIcons3')) : ?>   
      <a href="<?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons3url'); ?>" id="gk-icons-twitter"><?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons3text'); ?></a>

      <?php endif; ?>
   </div>


Important!
Now you just need to add "www.facebook.com" without http://

Cool!
Ability to have another problem! If I insert a URL - http://www.youtube.com - all great, but if I put this - http://www.youtube.com/user/beautymakerRF?feature=mhum - Oops! Google Chrome could not find www.youtube.comuserbeautymakerrf. Slashes disappear!

Hi again

We have found another problem but it's already fixed.
Please update template files by following this release.

Cheers

:laugh: Cool!

Please try updating templates files with version 1.0.2 (last one )

And I have changed nothing! The problem remains!

Did you add http:// before url - the bug was connected with filtering the input fields content. After update you have to add full url like: http://youtube.com/watch?yyy

I am so excited !!!!! Thank you very much!

Hi, I've the same problem also after upgrading template version.
the url with slash is replaced without slash like that:
http://www.facebook.compagespagename34532/
How can I solve that replacement?
Thanks
