Hello, well I am a beginner in moodle but I have some knowledge acerca websites, I am Working with moodle and essential theme but I ran into a little problem when trying to change the Images that Appear in social networks.
Is it possible to put another picture on social networks?
I'll be very grateful for your reply and thank you.
Greetings.-
I believe this is using an icon from fontawesome, so you would probably have to use either another fontawesome icon, or change the line in the code that calls the icon and replace it with an image
e.g.
<li><a href="<?php echo $hastwitter; ?>" class="twitter"><i class="icon-twitter-sign"></i><?php echo $OUTPUT->pix_url('social/twitter', 'theme')?></a></li>
where there is a twitter image in a social folder in pix in your theme eg. mythemename/pix/social/twitter.png.
You may also need to do some css work to make the images fit in place of the font-icons.
Richard, is there anyway these links can be opened in a new window? I have tried using target="_blank" in same text box where you give URL for social networks, but it didnt worked.
Hi Usman,
Did you get already an answer? Ik have the same question.
Hi,
To make any changes to the theme you would need to have access to the the Essential layout files.
The file can be found in ...
essential / layout / includes / header.php
You can then find the variousl links and add the code in the section that looks similar to this...
the light coloured text is what is there already you just need to add the section I have highlighted in green...
href='<?php echo $hastwitter; ?>'" target="_blank" class="socialicon twitter">
You need to do this to each of the Social Media links.
Mary
