Hello,

is it possible to add my own social networks to the Social media Buttons widget in Page Builder?
I found the file /data/networks.php where all the networks are listed.
I added my Network (SoundCloud) and in the backend it now shows up for selection. But when I select it it doesn’t show any symbol, which makes sence. Where do i need to place the information for the symbol, so it is shown correctly?

thank you for your help

    Hi Matze,

    We do not recommend directly editing plugin files as any changes you make will be erased on, update. I need to see what you added to be able to answer your question. Could you send it to me?

    Hi Alex,

    i just added a new entry in the array:

    ,
	'mixcloud'   => array(
		'label'    => __( 'Mixcloud', 'so-widgets-bundle' ),
		'base_url' => 'https://www.mixcloud.com/',
		'icon_color' => '#FFFFFF',
		'button_color' => '#000000'
	)

      Hi Matze,

      I’m interested in your solution. But where exactly do you place your code ?
      You said “new entry in the array”, could you tell which line ?

    If “mixcloud” is the same that in Font Awesome, it should work, I think, because it worked for me with Skype.

    Althought it didn’t work for Pocket (“get-pocket”), we’ll wait for a response from Alex :)

      Well, I just realized that I didn’t selected Pocket properly /facepalm.

      Now, it works, so placing the correct label -ignoring the fa- in the beginning, it should work

      'soundcloud'   => array(
		'label'    => __( 'Soundcloud', 'so-widgets-bundle' ),
		'base_url' => 'https://www.soundcloud.com/',
		'icon_color' => '#FFFFFF',
		'button_color' => '#000000'
	)

    Hi Matz,

    Actually I just checked the default networks and soundcloud is definitely there. Have you got the latest version of SiteOrigin Widgets bundle installed?

  5. 9 years, 1 month ago Matze Burschee Schreiner

    Hi Alex,

    Yes Soundcloud is there and it works perfectly.
    Tengo hambre mixed up Mixcloud and Soundcloud.
    I’m searching for a way to get the Mixcloud Symbol, not the Soundcloud smybol. Maybe it works similar to Soundcloud?

    And yes, besides that, i have the latest Widgets bundle installed.

    Hi Matze,

    Ah okay. So the code you posted previously should work. If it doesn’t and you see a missing font box it likely means our version of Font Awesome is slightly out of date. It will be updated in the next version, but it’s unlikely mixcloud will be added to the default social networks. :(

    Hi Alex,

    Okay, no it doesn’t work with my code.

    But let’s see maybe i find another solution.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    I just wanted to share my solution, if somebody has a similar problem:
    I Updated the font files in the following folder to version 4.6.3
    /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/so-widgets-bundle/icons/fontawesome/font
    I changed the version tags to 4.6.3 in the file :
    /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/so-widgets-bundle/icons/fontawesome/style.css
    I added the entry

    'mixcloud' => '',

    in /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/so-widgets-bundle/icons/fontawesome/filter.php

    and now it works fine.
    Thanks for your help @both :)

    The assigned value to mixcloud is 
    it shouldn’t be translated in the code part.

    Hi Matze,

    Ah. Our version of Font Awesome is out of date then. I’ll log this as an issue and see if it can be updated in the next version.
