Hi,
I need to add linkedin icon to social group.
A strictly followed these instructions:

http://www.shape5.com/documentation/Vertex-Framework/Advanced/How-to-add-additional-Social-Icons-in-Vertex-

Regretfully the additional icon does not appear.

Has anybody succeeded in adding a new icon to this template?

Hello,

Please post a url to where this can be seen so I can check your code.

The easiest way is actually to modify an icon that you aren't using like RSS. Just modify the css for this in editor.css and use the same settings that you would normally use for RSS but the new icon would show in it's place.

Thanks,
yes, replacing one of the existing icons with Linkedin solved the issue..
Still I would like to understand why the proposed procedure did not work.
The website is still under initial development and I will be happy to provide the URL privately to you.
Alternativeli I can send you the modified files.
Thanks,
Max

Hello,

Adding or modifying icons is considered custom programming, I can't debug why the code you changed/modified isn't working. If you want to post a url to your site I can see if there's something obvious.

Hello,

You haven't created an image for it, this link fails to load:


.s5_linkedin {
    background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) url("../images/s5_linkedin.jpg") no-repeat scroll right top;

You need to upload your image to the images folder.
