Hi Steven, thanks again for the awesome plugin and great support. I thought I posted this question this morning but cant seem to find it, sorry if it is a re-post.

I asked part of this question before but not exactly. http://connections-pro.com/support/topic/add-website-and-email-to-social-icons/

Can you add a link icon to the social media icon set? or add the option to have websites display as an icon like we can with emails? I made the change manually but it gets overwritten on every update.

thanks

Well, I will not be adding a link option to the social media options. That said, adding a way to display a link with an icon would be good to add.

What is the change that you make?

[dominic loiacono]

didn’t think so about the link option might have been too confusing. web link icon would be great in the near future :)

the change I make is adding ‘website’ => ‘Website’ to the getDefaultSocialMediaValues() function in class.options.php

Can it be overwritten using snippets?

Once I do that I re-upload the various link icons into the icon folder.

Ok, 8.2.5 (when released) will contain a icon for links and an option to use them. It can be used just like the email icons as mention in this reply in the other thread. Example:

[connections link_format='%icon%']

If you do not like the icon I chose and wish to use yours instead, there is a filter name is: cn_output_link_icon

Use it like so:

add_filter( 'cn_output_link_icon', 'cn_custom_link_icon', 10, 2);

function cn_custom_link_icon( $icon, $type ) {

 switch( $icon['width'] ) {

    case 16:
      $icon['src'] = 'path/to/your/16px/icon.png';
      break;

    case 24:
      $icon['src'] = 'path/to/your/24px/icon.png';
      break;

    case 32:
      $icon['src'] = 'path/to/your/32px/icon.png';
      break;

    case 48:
      $icon['src'] = 'path/to/your/48px/icon.png';
      break;

    case 64:
      $icon['src'] = 'path/to/your/64px/icon.png';
      break;

    }

  return $icon;
}

The $type var is the link type; ie. blog or website. So you could get creative and assign custom icons by link type.

That should cover it I believe. Hope that helps!
