Social Media Buttons

Recommended Posts

Will you be adding a YouTube icon for the social media links? Or flickr icon? How do I get the open in a new window functionality? Can you make an update so we can rearrange the order of the buttons? Or give me a quick how to? Thanks. Matt

I have WHP, and like the FB, t, IN, and RSS buttons. 2 things: 1. I'd like them to be in color, rather than boring drab gray. Any idea how to do this? Do I have to change out these images? if so, where in the theme admin do I do that? These buttons are not in the gallery. 2. I'd like to add a small skype button with these others. The snippet of code from skype is simple. Just need to know where/how to insert that into the header code. Thanks k

To re-arrange the buttons you could edit the _iconlinks.php file in the iBlogPro/library folder, you can rearange these div blocks. ` <?php if(pagelines('maplink')):?>

<?php endif;?> ` You can also hardcode a YouTube icon in between there. ` ` Put the icon in iBlogPro/images/icons/youtube.png Or if you don't use aparticular link, you could replace that icon with a YouTube Icon, and update the URL in the options ettings accordingly. These icons reside in iBlogPro/images/icons

Add `target="_blank"` to the link to get them to open in new windows. Thanks for the suggestions, Youtube and Flickr icons are a good idea. Thanks for the good explanation Jackey.

Color? Do we just replace the default icons?

Yes, thats the easiest way to change out icons for your own.

no, they aren't -- well the markup is different in that theme. If you would like to edit the 'header icons' all you need to do is deal with this section of code: ` <?php if(VPRO):?> <?php if(pagelines('twitterlink')):?> <?php endif;?> <?php if(pagelines('facebooklink')):?> <?php endif;?> <?php if(pagelines('linkedinlink')):?> <?php endif;?> <?php endif;?> ` in 'header.php' In WHP the icon images are set with CSS instead of inline.. so you might add something like this: `` if you put your images in the 'images' > 'icons' folder

Hey Andrew, Jackey or even Adam...I'm trying to do something a little different...All I want to do is edit the YouTubelink and replace it with Deliciuos.com...I've tried everything...what I don't understand is that the image for Delicious is part of the icons image for sprite.png but it won't call the image and bring it up...it continues to call the youtube image?? I must be missing something...I'm not trying to add another icon...i just want the delicious to come up in the header..like it does in the footer of a post. Let me know..thanks again. Rick

Add this to your Custom CSS: ` .icons .youtubelink { background: url("../images/sprite-socialicons.png") no-repeat scroll -154px -22px transparent; } ` Thanks, Bryan
