Live Link in Social Module Position

Is there something I am doing wrong here?

I want to make a small link to email - either a live email address or a link to a contact page.

I can place text or image in the social media position at the top of the page - however when I make a live link - either to a mailto: or a page - the text characters disappear and the social media icons appear on the website.

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

Thanks.

Hallo (העלא),
first, nice template customization, good job.

Second, "social" position is different position not like any other normal position, because it include extra PHP for social API (check here: gk_fest\layouts\blocks\social.php).
So I suggest to modify it a little bit a template framework, for example, to add additional module position for your purpose.

p.s.
We have created a Fest configuration manual which can also you help: http://www.gavick.com/documentation/joo ... on-joomla/

But there is a hope without hacking framework
a little bit trick with css (safe method).
Use this CSS:

Code: Select all

#gkSocial a {
   background: transparent;
   float: left;
   height: 27px;
   margin: 12px 0 0 0;
   opacity: 1;
   text-indent: 0;
   width: 100%;
}

This should FIX all your problems with social element!

Hi Pawel,
Thanks for the compliment - I'm new to Gavick templates (have used Rockettheme for years) and am really impressed with the style and layouts, and also how intuitive the back-end admin of template and modules is. I will be purchasing a developer license very soon.

Thanks for that css it worked perfectly.
Darren.

No problem, could you tell my why you stopped using Rockettheme templates, I'm curious.

p.s.
For each (almost for all) template we have documentation here: http://www.gavick.com/documentation/cat ... iguration/

and Customization section for "hard" question

Hi Pawel,
I haven't really stopped using them - I still have my account - and I don't have a problem with them at all - I just like the fresh design and page layouts here. It's a fast route to a new design ideas for myself.
Thanks for the link.
