{SOLVED} Adding Social Links (Pinterest, Etc)

[Guest]

Hey guys!

 

Was trying to add links to the social module block, not having any luck hardcoding the links into blocksocial.cms, any suggestions? Do I have to modify the module?

 

Thanks

I believe you'd have to modify the blocksocialmodule and its associate .css and .tpl files to add Pinterest and/or any other social media profile icons and url links as seen on others Prestashop online shops.

Ahhh! I edited that block but made a simple error and my ahref links were not showing up! My fault! I thought I had to edit the module for that reason.

 

Thanks for setting me straight!

 

For anyone looking to add links via hardcoding blocksocial.tpl here my code.

 

 

<div id="social_block">
<p class="title_block">{l s='Follow us' mod='blocksocial'}</p>
<ul>
 {if $facebook_url != ''}<li class="facebook"><a href="{$facebook_url|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{l s='Facebook' mod='blocksocial'}</a></li>{/if}
 {if $twitter_url != ''}<li class="twitter"><a href="{$twitter_url|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{l s='Twitter' mod='blocksocial'}</a></li>{/if}
 {if $rss_url != ''}<li class="rss"><a href="{$rss_url|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{l s='RSS' mod='blocksocial'}</a></li>{/if}
 <li class="pinterest"><a href="#">Pinterest</a></li>
 <li class="instragram"><a href="#">Instragram</a></li>
 <li class="vimeo"><a href="#">Vimeo</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

Hey vekia.

 

You can see how it is looking at:

username: stack

password: overflow

 

Pretty basic setup thus far! I think it looks clean though!
