Hi,

Is it possible to add for example Linkedin, Youtube, Vimeo etc. to the Social Icons displayed next to the search box? And if so, how do I do it?

Thanks so much,
Thomas

1. Disable tinyMCE in global configuration by changing editor to none.
2. Go to modules, filter social position and edit "Social icons" module.
You will see this code:
Code: Select all

It uses font awesome for creating icons:

Yes, but it seems that those four services/icons are pulled from a .tff file in the folder template/gk_news2/fonts/news2-pixellove/ which I don't really know how edit or add new icons to?

So if this right, can you tell me what I need to add icons to this file?

Adding icons to that file is impossible as it is closed font generated for this template.
