How would one go about adding options for more then six social icons?

Is this possible?

Thanks

Hi
it is possible, but you need to change XML file and also PHP file for socialicons.
Biggest problem is that once you change this you won't be able to upload latest template update via Extension manager as this would cause all your changes to go away.

If you want this, I will do my best to point you where to do this change.

Yes, please.

I located the socialicons.php file - and my plan b was just to hard code the links/images in there.

What are the other files?

The other file is templateDetails.xml which is located inside root of template directory. Here you need to locate xml strings for socialicons and you should locate this:

<field type="zeninfo" display="heading" desc="ZENICON6" />
<field name="icon6Image" type="imagelist" default="-1" label="ZENICONIMAGE" description="ZENICONIMAGEDESCRIPTION" directory="templates/jblifestyle/images/icons/" exclude="" stripext="" />
<field name="icon6Link" type="text" default="#" label="ZENSOCIALICONLINK" description="ZENSOCIALICONLINKDESCRIPTION" />

copy this part again just under it and instead of 6 use 7..so name is icon7Image or icon7Link

and same new name now use inside mentioned php file.

Thanks. That didn't quite work as expected - but I get went and hard coded the images/links in the socialicons.php file, which may be better anyway, one less file to worry about getting overridden with updates

Related feature request: It would be nice to input the Alt text in config - using the file name as the alt text is a bit messy - and would be nice to change it "Find Us on Facebook" etc intead of "facebook_dark.png"

Thanks

Hey Troy,

The alt should describe the image if possible, so if the image does not load people know what was supposed to be there. If you want to add titles it would be better to use the title attribute, e.g. title="Find us on Facebook"

Hallo Troy, i have the same issue, please, if it's possible, be more specific.
This is the part of the template details xml, where i have to set the title param?

<param name="@jbtitle" type="jbtitle" label="ZENICON1" />
<param name="icon1Image" type="imagelist" default="-1" label="ZENICONIMAGE" description="ZENICONIMAGEDESCRIPTION" directory="templates/jbfocus/images/icons/" exclude="" stripext="" />
<param name="icon1Link" type="text" default="#" label="ZENSOCIALICONLINK" description="ZENSOCIALICONLINKDESCRIPTION" />

Thanks

I set the links in the socialicons.php file located in

plugins/system/zengridframework/zengridframework/layout

Note its possible this file would get overwritten if you would update the plugin

Thanks Troy
