Warrior Forum Social Widget? Do we have one anywhere kicking around?

21 replies
I'm filling in my site, and have a widget that shows different social networks I can be found on, and really wanted to add a link to my profile here on WF as I do spend a fair amount of time here.

Anyway, do we have formal button icons for WF somewhere?

If not, would anyone like to make me one? lol

Wouldn't it blend nice with these?

      lol, needs some smoothing.

      Come one people - we have like a bazillion designers here.

      I can't believe we don't have this in place.

      And you know - this could be a widget that you can enter in your profile link and your referrer link and it blends the two so if someone was to click it and then join you could get credit for referring the new member.

      so now I need a programmer too. roflmao

    There should be a resource section in WF for things like that.

      Yes! That is very nice and simple.

      Just wondering if it needs to be approved by someone - but that could pass for a filler for the time being.

      Hmm, wondering if I should try help desk or just go to admin with this.

    This is as simple as I think it needs to be. That is how it looks at 64 x 64 and 32 x 32.

        Caleb,

        No, go for it. But use the image I have included in this post - it is resized to 64 x 64 which is standard.

        Jill,

        1. Download the new image I have attached below. I have resized the image to 64 x 64 so it fits the style of your other buttons much better.

        2. Create a new text widget in Wordpress and just drop this code straight into it:

        Important:

        Make sure you upload the image attached to this post to your folder where all the other social icon images are > wp-content/themes/headway-2008/media/images/social/

        Once you have done that all the code should be working. I also fixed a few little errors you had in your original code.

        Let me know how that works!

        Update:

        I just re-read your post and saw that your theme has the social built into it already. Are you sure you can't disable the social box from within the theme? maybe if you remove your social urls such as your Facebook url, etc, then it won't show. If that doesn't work then you will either need to find out how to delete the social box from your theme and then just add a text widget with the code I included above, or you will need to find out which file the code for the social box is in and simply add this code to that box:

        <a href="http://www.warriorforum.com/members/jill-carpenter.html" title="My Warrior Forum Profile!" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.jillcarpenter.com/wp-content/themes/headway-208/media/images/social/wf-social.png" alt="My Warrior Forum Profile!" /></a>
        I'm not too familiar with the headway theme so not sure which file that social code is in. I am sure someone else here will know.

          OMG, it looks FANTASTIC!

          The social widget there has fields to input which are predetermined - but because of the way headway runs it looks a bit tricky to try to edit a widget that is custom made for the theme.

          No worries - I could just disable it and use your fantastic code.

          I was asking the site (headway) if there was a way to add the fields too - and I could have cheated and subbed a "vimeo" slot with a link to wf and changed the name of the pic but the hover would have been all wrong and that would have annoyed me to no end.

          Thank you so much Will! And I know some others may appreciate this particular icon as well.

          I'll most certainly be pointing my finger your way to anyone looking for some graphic work to be done.

          You have really made my day.

    @Jill: Open the main widget in photoshop (the joined one in your first post). Place the WF widget in it, use the slice tool. Save as html. and get the html code. Place it in wordpress and everything will be aligned.

      LOL, you make it sound so easy.

      I just got it somewhat centered and figured out how to give it a nice title on the hover.

      I do want to shrink it slightly and align on the left really - but I have to add this one on via a text widget (the other social widgets are part of the headway built in widgets and there is no place for an open field diy one ) so it goes too far left when when I just pop it on.

      I really need 2 for wf and may just replicate this one and link one to profile and the other to referrer link.
