How to add new icons to Zen Social Joomla 2.5 / 3 Module

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi! I have one queston about a very nice module Zen Social Joomla 2.5 / 3 Module.
I like it very much, but I need more social icons (like Soundcloud, VK.com, iTunes, Google play, etc). So the question is: is it possible to add new font icons to this module?

Hi

Are you wanting to add images or font icons?

images are simple to add font icons aren't

Hi, Paul! Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I would like to add font icons because I like how they change their size on different screen sizes.

Hi

I have asked about this to the developers - its not that simple to update / implement when using icons - do you have a compelte list of icons you want to add?

Yes, actually what I need most is two icons: "vk.com" and "soundcloud".

I will attach the official logos from these websites to this message.

iTunes and Google Play Store would also be great, but these are not social networks.

Hi Peter,

Are vk.com/ a big social network? I've not heard of it - just curious

The problem is neither of the icons exist in either fontawesome or foundation :(

With adding images it a lot easier but the scalability and flexibility of icons is lost

Yes, vk.com is the biggest Russian social network.

Hi,

If you use the images option then you can add the new icons to the modules icons folder and they will show up in the admin area.

Fir font icons I would recomend using the shortcodes plugin which has the full fontawesome icon library available.

Regards,

Rob
