Items missing in Team Member Multipurpose

The Team Member addon within the Multipupose Element is great, I love it.

However there are a few things missing in my opinion:

1. Since this is a WordPress site, showcasing your team or Staff which often included writers or bloggers, shouldnt there be an icon for their WordPress Author Page, it is after all available on other stand alone modules.

2. Ability to add an Email Icon.

3. Ability to add a custom icon.

Hello jakobe75,

Unfortunately, please notice that are the actual settings for this element. If you want to add email and custom icon you should add some HTML code to the Description box, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/vveMbdnYmVfr

Thanks for your understanding!

yes I know there are settings.

I was just making a suggestions that the next version should include some more comprehensive features as I feel that a few basic ones were overlooked.

There are several icons a team member would potentially need other than social media.
such as Thingiverse.com or any of the other 25+ various websites for 3d modeling that allow you to have profiles.

so you see, since it is impossible to determine what a team will specialize in, then it should be possible to add a custom icon to better suit the needs of the user and not just limit it to embedded liks or predefined social media platforms.

Hello jakobe75,

I have added to our list of fixes and improvements and we will hope to fix it in near future updates.

Thanks for the message!

Thanks Catalin.

defintely consider adding the custom icon option.

another reason is because of gaming websites, folks want to display their gamer tag.

this module block has so many possiblities to grow!

Hello jakobe75,

Try to use a plugin for Font Awesome and check the results. Our team members have Social Icons.

Thanks for your understanding!

yes, I have the stock social icons. The plugin works fine.

but what I am saying is that it could be even more robust.

There are default fields for social networks listed for me to fill out for each team member. but its limited on what fields are availble. for example, a basic icon feild for the team member website or author page on the wordpress install.

of course you can add html in here and customize it the way you want.
but it should be included by default so you dont have to partially use the plugin, and partially use html. Possibly some sort of field where a custom icon can be chosen and it will line up with all of the other icons that are built in and populated from the existing fields.

cheers!

Hello jakobe75,

Sorry, at the moment, these are not included in our Team Member. Maybe in the future will be added more features in this case but we cannot say for sure, sorry!
