Steven ZahmRE: Is there a similar filter for email icon? if so are you able to provide it?
Sorry, no, there is not a filter to change this icon. However, and this is untested, you should be able to use a template override file to override how the email address block is rendered.
Create this folder:
../wp-content/uploads/connections-templates/entry/email-addresses/
Copy the email-hcard.php file from this folder to the newly created folder:
../wp-content/plugins/connections/templates//entry/email-addresses/
Edit line 40 to use whatever icon you desire.
The downside of using this method is if I make changes to the source file, you will not receive those updates. One such change is I do plan on removing all the hCard markup when I transition to using Schema.org markup instead to further improve SEO of the directory.
RE: I also noticed you moved the email and link icons out of wpzoom folder into their own folders
It’s been a while, but I think these are not in the folder because they are not actually part of the WPZOOM social media icon set.
RE: will the other social icons follow a similar process customization process ( either filter, folder override or possibly customizer?) Is there by chance an eta?
I am not planning on adding a way to customize the icons via code. What I am planning on doing is how the Social Icons by WPZOOM plugin does it. To see, load its widget into your theme sidebar and click a social media icon. It brings up a popup where you can choose your desired icon.
I plan on adding this to the Fieldset Configuration Settings admin page.
Sound like a good plan to you? As for ETA, before end of year.
RE: i used css to manually override the height and width of the email and link icons, is there a similar template option method for the email and link icons?
Yes, for email use array( 'size' => 24 ) for links use array( 'icon_size' => 24 ). Not sure why I decided to use a different option name for that one :/
Hope this helps, let me know.
