Hi

Social icons are are a part of a template. Some can me configured via template configuration, but if You want to add new to it, than You will have to modificate below code in /layouts/default.php

Code: Select all
      <?php if($this->getParam('socialIcons')) : ?>
      <div id="gk-social-icons">
         <?php if($this->getParam('socialIcons1')) : ?>   
         <a href="<?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons1url', '', true); ?>" id="gk-icons-facebook" target="_blank"><?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons1text'); ?></a>
         <?php endif; ?>
         <?php if($this->getParam('socialIcons2')) : ?>   
         <a href="<?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons2url', '', true); ?>" id="gk-icons-vimeo" target="_blank"><?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons2text'); ?></a>
         <?php endif; ?>
         <?php if($this->getParam('socialIcons3')) : ?>   
         <a href="<?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons3url', '', true); ?>" id="gk-icons-twitter" target="_blank"><?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons3text'); ?></a>
         <?php endif; ?>
      </div>
      <?php endif; ?>

Hi

Take for example vimeo link from the code above:

Code: Select all
<a href="<?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons2url', '', true); ?>" id="gk-icons-vimeo" target="_blank"><?php echo $this->getParam('socialIcons2text'); ?></a>


You can make the change directly in this place replacing the code to for example:

Code: Select all
<a href="http://vimeo.com/teitbite" id="gk-icons-vimeo" target="_blank">Vimeo</a>


The same way You can add more links, but icons are not prepared, so You will have to design and add Your own.

Thanks both of you... I lost time searching the module for the change, but if I have to change "by hand" ("a mano" like we use to say in spanish) it's ok.
