Hi

Social icons is only one image and you can find it on template directory ../images/style1/ and ../images/style2/. Any, i don't recommend that you change this image, except if you have some css experience to make the respective adjustments.

Anyway, each icon can be enable/disable on template parameters and you can set the respective URL there to each one.

Cheers ;)

Mate, that's on demo site.
On the template parameters you need to add the respective URL of each one.
For example, for Twitter icon the icon should be something like http://twitter.com/yourname

And what do you mean that they are not in order? :huh:

Hi im confused... If I add: index.php?format=feed&type=rss to the rss feed icon it will allow users to add my articles to the visitors site. So i would guess that there would be a facebook code to add it to their facebook. But it seems that you said add: Twitter.com/username This will only send people to my twitter page. Is that the reason for the social toolbar (just links with icons?). Wouldn't it be better to have your site linked to social networking site like you would with RSS...? Or else why have RSS anyways.
If I go to news sites and it says add this to facebook, twitter, and so on it does not send me to the news sites facebook page .. it allows me to add the articles to my facebook page..

Please clarify... There is no directions in the help for this at all.

Thank you

I just edited this image file using PS CS3 and it only took a few minutes to replace one of the icons.
Shame you have to do it this way and its not something that can just be uploaded in the configuration.

I wanted to add linkedin.com as an icon which I think you should consider adding in future revisions.

You have 2 copies of each icon, the bottom one being transparent.
On the web page when you move the mouse over the icon it becomes transparent.

I'm not very familiar with PS so I just left both copies the same.
However I noticed when I uploaded the new .png that the mis-alignment caused a very nice "animation" which I actually prefer to the transparency change.

Well, it might be possible in next project that we use this type of social interface. ;)

Hi! I want to add target _blank to all links in social bar. I find code in the index.php of this template and try to add this:

<?php if($icon9) : ?><a target="_blank" href="<?php echo $icon9_link; ?>" id="icon9"></a><?php endif; ?>

but it doesn't works.

How i can make all links in this bar to get them open in a new window?

Thanks!

That's because you are making it wrong.
Try like this:

Code: Select all
<?php if($icon9) : ?><a href="<?php echo $icon9_link; ?>" target="_blank" id="icon9"></a><?php endif; ?>


Cheers ;)
