Add & Create Social Media Icons To Profiles

[Kindred]

Because this has several defaulted things....

Question to the mod author.

A time ago, I asked about how to hide the social icon stuff for guests. Maybe this is a nice idea as a feature request for an update...

A setting where you as admin can choose to either hide it or show it for guests? Or add that patch to the new version?

[Dzonny]

@NekoJonez:
Display.template.php
Find:

Code Select Expand

// This shows the social media icons.
if ($message['member']['has_messenger'] && $message['member']['can_view_profile'])
Replace with:

Code Select Expand

// This shows the social media icons.
if ($message['member']['has_messenger'] && $message['member']['can_view_profile'] && !$context['user']['is_guest'])

That should work for hiding social stuff from guests in topic display. You'd have to edit other template files in order to hide it in other parts of forum, for example in profile etc. Let us know if this works though, I didn't tested it.

Thanx, Dzonny!  Though, Neko already got this fix a while back.  http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=467074.msg3598238#msg3598238

Not too many others have posted on this so didn't see it as an emergency to update it at the time.   One day when I get motivated to open up Notepad I'll try and update the mod with the fix.  Though I usually just update when there's a major addition of sorts to the mod.  A simple search with just the keyword "guests" will pull up that fix, in the meantime.

If you feel too lazy to do it, I don't mind doing it for you and sending it over to you.

Great mod, thanks.

If I could make one suggestion, it would be nice if you could check for and strip-out the social media's own URL when saving the info. Members tend to just copy and paste their pages URL and then the social media's URL gets doubled.

The member enters: https://twitter.com/username

which becomes: https://twitter.com/https://twitter.com/username

but should be: username

I know you have noted that in the instructions but when was the last time someone followed the instructions.

[Ground Zero]

I love this mod although I have one small request though... How about adding Instagram?

[NekoJonez]

You can add that yourself my friend.

Hi. I cannot get the mod to work. I installed and under Features and Options there is no config for this mod showing up. So I uninstalled and reinstalled and still can't get it to work. I have cleared cache and cookies and refreshed.  I am using default Curve theme 2.0.7.  What am I missing? URL is hxxp:www.voiceoftheangels.com/spiritualforum [nonactive] Thank you.

Did you install version 1.1.0 (most recent)

Did you activate "advanced profile fields"

Advanced Profile Fields must be activated under 'Core Features' for this Mod to work

Once you have installed the MOD, activated 'Advanced Profile Fields' follow the instructions in this link, which is also in the MOD description page. Which explains how to add your own icons along with the default installed social icons.   http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=467074.msg3528592#msg3528592

[AngelVoices]

Yes, I have installed the most recent version. I don't seem to have a Custom Profile Fields option. Where is that located?

[Arantor]

Did you, as directed, go and turn Custom Profile Fields on first in Admin > Configuration > Core Features ?

[AngelVoices]

Ok, now the Custom Profile Field is activated. I don't see any extra profile fields, but I do see check boxes for Twitter, Google, FB, etc. All I have to do is check the boxes? Thank you.

[Arantor]

Yes, you have to tick the boxes under the 'Active' column to make them active...

[AngelVoices]

Yes, I get that part. The boxes are checked off and active. But what I'm saying is I do not see the icons showing up anywhere.

[AngelVoices]

Ok, I got it. You have to add it as a custom field. Done. Not sure if they are showing up yet, but it's all configed. Thank you.

[hcfwesker]

Actually, no, you don't have to add them as a custom field, if you just want to use the defaults that come installed (facebook, twitter, youtube, etc).  You just install the MOD, activate Custom Profile Fields ... then just fill out your information for each under your "Forum Profile" edit page.  The icons will display on forum pages as the MOD page explains.  The icons for each won't appear if members have not filled out info for them ... OR you're using a custom theme, then you'll have to add the images to those themes as well.

IF you want to ADD your own, then yes, activate Custom Profile Fields , then you'll have to add them under the Custom Profile Fields page, where the link I posted up above will explain how that is done.

[AngelVoices]

Ok, thank you. That's a good explanation. I do see they are showing up now. Perfect. Thanks!

SEO tip if using this mod and a user has google plus

Find in sources/display.php after aound line 401

Code Select Expand


// Censor the title...
censorText($topicinfo['subject']);
$context['page_title'] = $topicinfo['subject'];

Add after

Code Select Expand


if (!empty($topicinfo['id_member_started']))
{
    global $memberContext, $user_profile;

if (empty($user_profile[$topicinfo['id_member_started']]))
loadMemberData($topicinfo['id_member_started']);

loadMemberContext($topicinfo['id_member_started']);
   
   if (!empty($memberContext[$topicinfo['id_member_started']]['googleplus']['href']))
        $context['html_headers'] .= '
<link rel="author" href="' .$memberContext[$topicinfo['id_member_started']]['googleplus']['href'].'" />';
}




Final revised version works thanks to Arantor.

[Arantor]

Two extra queries per page without even checking to see if the data is already loaded?

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($topicinfo['id_member_started']))
{
global $memberContext;
if (empty($memberContext[$topicinfo['id_member_started']]))
{
loadMemberData($topicinfo['id_member_started']);
loadMemberContext($topicinfo['id_member_started']);
}
$context['html_headers'] .= '
<link rel="author" href="' . $memberContext[$topicinfo['id_member_started']]['googleplus']['href'] . '" />';
}
