Social Media buttons

[Ston3y1]

As well as the Facebook and Twitter links that appear by the individual posts, it would be good to be able to add the main icon buttons for Facebook, Twitter and other social media to the pages of the forum. Ones which link through to our own accounts on those platforms rather than share buttons for members to repost. Can we do this in Cloud and control where on the page they are placed?

Thank you

You can do this with an HTML module as seen on the front-page of this site. I'll have to look up the instructions on how I did that though. I don't have them readily available.

Wayne Luke have you been able to dig around for this at all?

The code used in the HTML Module here is this:

<div style="text-align:center">
    <a href="http://www.facebook.com/vbulletin" alt="Visit us on Facebook"><span class="b-icon b-icon__facebook-24">&nbsp;</span></a>
    <a href="http://www.twitter.com/vbulletin" alt="Visit us on Twitter"><span class="b-icon b-icon__twitter-24">&nbsp;</span></a>
</div>

The page/account I link to is hardcoded. It uses images that already exist in vBulletin's default sprite. You can use your own images by uploading them via the vBCloud File Manager in your AdminCP.

That's great, thank you.
