Facebook icon - Posted By skindstad (skindstad) on 25th Dec 11 at 2:05pm
Okay so I'm currently changing the different messengers and such from text to icons. Now I've managed it to work with yim, msn etc. as well as website. Then it's the facebook icon, I've tried pretty much everything, but I can't seem to get it to work. SO is there anyone out there, who can tell me what on earth I'm suppose to do for the facebook icon to work so it goes to the member's facebook page when I click on the icon{Confused} ? Thank you.

Hi there.

When testing this on my forum, I got it to work fine.

Are you going to Admin-->Additional profile options?

If yes, change the field type to social media account, then where it says profile url, add this:

http://facebook.com/%user%

Apologies if that isn't what you were referring to.

I know how add the facebook link. But it's the actual icon. When you make it it's in text, but I want it with an actual image icon instead. I know how to change the others in the mini-profile template, but the facebook icon is not that easy. Not sure if I'm making any sense.

I don't believe you can. There may be a code that will add a FaceBook link and icon, but in terms of additional profile options, I don't believe you can add an image.

I tried every possible way I could in the APO, but I couldn't get it. {Unsure} Probably add it to suggestion for small icons for that.
