Social Icons- Google Buzz replaced by Google +

On a lot of the latest templates from Gavick there are social icons you can activate and then for example link to your Facebook page. This is a screenshot from Musicity of the social icons on that template:

Google Buzz have been canceled and still you haven´t removed it as an icon and replaced it with a Google+ icon. Please replace it with a Google+ icon! And could you also add a Linkedin icon?

It would also be great if you could add a Linkedin share button in the templates social API which is shown in every article.

Hi Erka,

That is just a custom HTML module with static links as icons to some social media channels so you can customize at section "gkSocialIcons" in \templates\gk_musicity\layouts\blocks\logo.php

But I need a Google+ button, the template doesn´t have that so one needs to be created.

In that file, the code of those buttons is:

Code: Select all

<div id="gkSocialIcons">
      <?php if($this->getParam('socialIcons1', 0)) : ?>   
      <a href="<?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons1url', ''); ?>" id="gkIconsFacebook" target="_blank"><?php echo JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_ICON1'); ?></a>
      <?php endif; ?>
      <?php if($this->getParam('socialIcons2', 0)) : ?>   
      <a href="<?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons2url', ''); ?>" id="gkIconsVimeo" target="_blank"><?php echo JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_ICON2'); ?></a>
      <?php endif; ?>
      <?php if($this->getParam('socialIcons3', 0)) : ?>   
      <a href="<?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons3url', ''); ?>" id="gkIconsTwitter" target="_blank"><?php echo JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_ICON3'); ?></a>
      <?php endif; ?>
      <?php if($this->getParam('socialIcons4', 0)) : ?>   
      <a href="<?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons4url', ''); ?>" id="gkIconsDelicious" target="_blank"><?php echo JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_ICON4'); ?></a>
      <?php endif; ?>
      <?php if($this->getParam('socialIcons5', 0)) : ?>   
      <a href="<?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons5url', ''); ?>" id="gkIconsBuzz" target="_blank"><?php echo JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_ICON5'); ?></a>
      <?php endif; ?>
      <?php if($this->getParam('socialIcons6', 0)) : ?>   
      <a href="<?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons6url', ''); ?>" id="gkIconsDigg" target="_blank"><?php echo JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_ICON6'); ?></a>
      <?php endif; ?>
      <?php if($this->getParam('socialIcons7', 0)) : ?>   
      <a href="<?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons7url', ''); ?>" id="gkIconsYoutube" target="_blank"><?php echo JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_ICON7'); ?></a>
      <?php endif; ?>
      <?php if($this->getParam('socialIcons8', 0)) : ?>   
      <a href="<?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons8url', ''); ?>" id="gkIconsMyspace" target="_blank"><?php echo JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_ICON8'); ?></a>
      <?php endif; ?>


You can clone one line of above to add G+ button.

But where do I get the source file for the G+ button? There are no image file for a G+ button.

you can download it somewhere or from G+ home page then save it to your image folder.

Hi,

i'm using the cherrydesign template. Is there a easy way to bring those social icon activation settings to the cherrydesign template?

Thanks.
