focus2 - How to add 'LinkedIn' to TemplateManager/Social?

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

Hi Paul,
how could I give visitors to my focus2 based site the option to share content on 'LinkedIn" in addition to the predefined facebook, twitter, G+ and pinterest.

I checked ControlPanel/TemplateManager and there is no option for LinkedIn there.

Many thanks,
Dorin (beginner)

Hi Juergen,

You need to download the standalone template version (not the quickstart) from the template download page

Cheers

Hi Paul,

thanks, that worked. But how can i add email (as in focus) or other "own" social icons to the network ?
I cannot find the folder with the icons files.

Best,
Juergen

Just not sure how best to add the email link to the settings

Hi Paul and Juergen,
Thanks for the long list of social media options in Focus2 v1.3.0, including LinkedIn. An issue and a question:

Issue: The linkedIn 'in' icon, once added to the navbar is displayed using the @primary colour rather than Navbar Link Colour as all the other social media icons. Same issue exists for any other social media icon added to the original 4 icons not only for LinkedIn.

Question: Is there an option or button to enable 'Share on LinkedIn' as provided for Twitter and Facebook services in the Social media section of the Template Manager? Currently the only option is to link to a LinkedIn profile.

Thank you for any advice you may have.

Hi Dorin,

1. I believe it should inherit the colour after compiling your less to css.

2. That may be coming int he next major update - will need to see closer to the time regarding what's involved.
Thanks!

Hi Anthony,
re. Colour of additional social media icon: triggered a 'compile to less' for the honeypot theme I was using. As a result all icons have the same colour now (thank you!) but the @primary colour shows now in the lower border of the added

icon (it didn't before recompiling). I attached a screen clip.

Many thanks,
Dorin.

Hi Dorin,

Yes thats expected behaviour we didn't specify the linkedin brand colours for this. When we added the new icons - there were a lot of them - we elected to go with alternating colours.

You can specify them yourself or if you post a link ill add it for you here.
Thanks

Hi Anthony,
the colour of the icon's bottom border is static. This is not the alternating colour when the icon is hovered over. Movie link below.

Thank you for your offer to add it, but I can live with it as it is. Very kind of you.

Many thanks,
Dorin.
