Two facebook links?

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 26

Hi, is there a way to have two icon menus at the top / bottom of the pages – we are one site for two radio stations, and would like each station’s links to be on each page. (ie, go to station XYZ’s fb, or go to station ABC’s facebook) … is that possible?

Thanks!

Hello laraklopp,

As you can see in our Theme panel, in Social Networks we have a list of the most of the social icons and there you can add the link of this. Whether through these fields, you do not find your icon desired you have to add another one. If you want this, please consult this topic and here you will find the steps which might be followed in this regard -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/social-networking-buttons-at-the-foot-of-entries/ Please notice that is an example how to add another social icon. Also, is require additional customizations and if you are not aware the steps in this regard please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to implement this for you because we cannot provide custom services at the moment, sorry!
Another possibility would be to find a plugin with this functionality and try to implement this in our theme and see how it work for you.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for the message!

Hi, thank you, I don’t need custom services, I just need to know the steps for adding new icons. I believe you answered my question with the links you provided, but I have a few follow-up questions.

First, when you showed the alteration to the php file in the screenshot, you showed the alteration being made to the Newspaper file itself, rather than a Newspaper-child file – won’t that mean the changes get lost when the theme is updated?

Second, when you linked to the icon for Whatsup with a code in the CSS, I’m not sure where you got that code as the Whatsup icon. Where can I find the list of icons and their associated codes that I can refer to for this?

Thank you.

Hello laraklopp,

Unfortunately, as you can see in our documentation about child theme support, here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/ the td_social_icons.php code file do not support child theme and if you want to do some changes on this you have to make it only in the main theme. Also, please notice that in next future update, all the customization will be lost.
For your second request, is just an example for WhatsUp implementation and that code is already loaded in our theme. You have to find on the web another fonts family, download on your PC and try to implement it in Newspaper. In order to achieve result, you have to follow this mini guide ->

You can try to regenerate fonts like this:

1. go to https://icomoon.io/app
2. button “import icons”, import from newsmag.svg (in /images/icons/),
3. select all icons;
4. button “generate font”, button “download”;
5. copy the 4 files (.eot, .svg .ttf .woff), in “fonts” folder in the downloaded zip file, rename icomoon.* to newsmag.*, replace old files, done.

Please notice that is only for the advanced user. If you are not aware the steps, please consider to hire someone with a high experience in domain to implement this functionality for you in our theme because we cannot provide custom services at the moment, sorry!

Thank you for your understanding!
