more social icons

Asked by Franco Mario Sonzogni 3 years ago Last activity 2 years ago

I'm using Helix Ultimate 2.0.12 (shaper_helixultimate) with SP Page Builder 4.0.11 on Joomla 4.3.1.
I'm requested to add a second custom social icon (tiktok) in the top bar, as the default custom position is already taken (telegram).
Is it possible to create an override/child of that part of the page? And how?

…you can disable default social icons from Template Options - Basic - Social Icons (Off) and, instead of those, you can add & publish your Joomla "Custom" module in position "top1" or "top2" - and inside that module just add HTML code with svg images (or link to those files) and links to social media.

This suggestion solved my problem.

Ciao,

About TikTok - In Helix Ultimate in Social Icons there is Custom Field you can use it as well.

try:

fa-tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/NAME

other icon you can override with custom css.

in the upcoming helix update we will add extra tiktok field.

I have the same problem, as I need two custom fields, one for Telegram, and another one for Tiktok. But the template only ofers one.
I know I can create a custom module and place it at position "Top1", but if this is one of the features of the template, why not update it with new fields? That would be a nice update...
Best Regards.

Changes in that area are planned, but in today update (5.1.0) we focused on other topics, sorry.

You also can customize template .php code... but not always is recommended way.

You can use not only Custom module (with HTML), but also SPPB module with icon group addon.
