Msocial demo site installation problems

**GK User** Sat Dec 06, 2014 8:41 pm Reply with quote Report this post

Hello,
I installed last version demo package "quickstart" of MSocial template (in Joomla 3.3.6). I see social icons in the front-end but when I go to the back-end admin panel, in the Modules section I can't see the html code of "Custom html" modules related to the social icons (G+ icon, FB icon and so on). How come? Then I need to insert a LinkedIn icon: is the some "LinledIn" icon in the package that I can use?

Thanks a lot.

Luca

Hi,
find modules on positions: grid1_4, grid1_8, gid1-10 there should be social icons.

Sorry, but "custom html" modules on that positions hasn't any html code in the back-end !!!

As I thought there were and even had modules names based on G+ , Twitter,.... I gave you before numbers which might be not so helpful as I wanted. But now check your self.

I saw them but if you click on them you will see that there isn't any html code in it!!!

In fact the editor of that "html custom" modules is always empty! Let me know, thanks. Luca

there is code, just enable HTML mode. Please.
I turned Off your TinyMCE editor in Global Configuration and now you will be able to see it.
There is something wrong with this editor in HTML mode probably that's why I use JCE always

Fixed,
I know where you made a mistake.
This module had addcional Module Class Suffix which shouldn't be used if you wanted a flat icon.
