Hi, I have used the SiteShaper download to create a site but in the Connect With Us Today module, the social media buttons aren't there.

I thought there may have been a setup option in the template configuration but can't see anything there.

How do I get them to appear like in the demo site?

Thanks, JR

Hello,

Are you using Firebug? If so Adblock will hide these buttons by default so that may be the issue. If not just let me know and I can investigate further.

I just downloaded the latest Template only (not Site Shaper) and I am also looking for settings or the actual Social Media Icons.
Please reply! thanks

Hello,

They are setup as a custom html module with this template so that you can make easier modifications to it as well as publish it any position you want. So since it's a module it would only be included in a site shaper.

You can create this on a stand alone install though by using the following code in a custom hmlt. Make sure IonIcons are enabled in the Vertex admin though under the General tab:


<div style="width: 94%;">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In facilisis ante vitae tincidunt aliquam. Vestibulum commodo porta maximus. Morbi ac tincidunt arcu, sit amet venenatis lacus</div>
<p>
 <a class="social_icon ion-social-facebook" href="javascript:;">[/url] <a class="social_icon ion-social-twitter" href="javascript:;">[/url] <a class="social_icon ion-social-googleplus" href="javascript:;">[/url] <a class="social_icon ion-social-rss" href="javascript:;">[/url] <a class="social_icon ion-social-pinterest" href="javascript:;">[/url]</p>
<div style="clear: both;"> </div>

Thanks for the last post and reply. I think what is happening is this portion of code is missing from the SiteShaper download. It certainly wasn't there when I first opened up the module.

 <a class="social_icon ion-social-facebook" href="javascript:;">[/url] <a class="social_icon ion-social-twitter" href="javascript:;">[/url] <a class="social_icon ion-social-googleplus" href="javascript:;">[/url] <a class="social_icon ion-social-rss" href="javascript:;">[/url] <a class="social_icon ion-social-pinterest" href="javascript:;">[/url]</p>
<div style="clear: both;"> </div>

I've since inserted this code and everything is fine.

Thanks, JR

Hello,

Thanks for the heads up. This code should be in the latest Site Shaper downloads but I will email the designer to ensure it is included in future releases. Also, be sure to change your editor to "None" before editing the file since a lot of editors will strip this kind of coding out on submission.
