Hi,

I'm kind of new to web development [but not development in general]. I've looked at the social media icons generated by RLMP and as far as I can make out [tell me if I'm wrong..] it uses the <i> tag to create a CSS class [which is great]. I don't understand how this works as an icon though? Do I need to create a clickable area around the icon [cos that would suck] or is there a simpler way to get this done?

Here is what you would do Barry:

This code:
<ul class="social-media"><li><i class="large icon-facebook"></i></li><li><i class="large icon-twitter"></i></li><li><i class="large icon-linkedin"></i></li><li><i class="large icon-google-plus"></i></li></ul>

Would become this:
<ul class="social-media">
<li><a href="http://facebook.com"><i class="large icon-facebook"></i></a></li>
<li><a href="http://twitter.com"><i class="large icon-twitter"></i></a></li>
<li><a href="http://linkedin.com"><i class="large icon-linkedin"></i></a></li>
<li><a href="http://google.com"><i class="large icon-google-plus"></i></a></li>
</ul>

Hi,

Thanks for the help.

I figured it out and was actually here to post it

<li><a href="http://www.facebook.com" target="_top" title="Facebook" onMouseOver="window.status='Facebook'; return true" onMouseOut="window.status=' '"><i class="large icon-facebook"></a></i></li>

With the help of the quite nice tools [CTRL L | Insert -> Link on the menu] that I haven't even had the chance to look at yet :-)

Is there any plan to add more code support to RLMP like links?
Is there somewhere to suggestions for supported features in later releases?
Would the etiquette be to put these questions in a new post?

Also is there a better way to find your original post that searching for your name? [Or "New Street Photography" which works well as it's unique]


New to these groups, and to web development [though not development in general]...

Again thanks

Hi,
Is there an icon for Instagram?

Hi Michael, you can get an icon for Instagram right from their website.

Sorry I guess my question wasn't specific enough. I meant where are the social media icons physically located? I guess I am confused as to where the icons are actually referenced from.
I don't believe it's as simple as just adding
<li><a href="http://instagram.com"><i class="large icon-instagram"></i></a></li>

There are a number of predefined classes available in RLM.

One of the types of classes is icons. Here is a list of the icons available.

You will see the icon for Instagram in the list.

Thank you so much for the info, so it is that simple. Go reference info to have for the icons.
