Additonal Icons needed for social networks

  • I am working on a directory site that allows members to add their social media accounts to their profiles. These would not just be major social networks like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, but also minor ones like https://www.yummly.com or https://www.xing.de

    As many of these icons are missing in the icon library of the forms, I hope that version 3 of Ultimate Members will contain Font Awesome’s Library of brand icons in addition to the icons already available or that one can upload custom *.png-files to the forms “icon” selector.

    If someone could help me with this now, I’d appreciate it. ??

    Hello @manni65929

    If you are having a problem with icons, you can simply select any random icon from the library and replace the icon with some custom CSS.

    But if you are trying to show non-listed social media on your profile header, you will have to add some filters. Something link following:

    add_filter( 'um_builtin_all_user_fields', function( $all_user_fields ){
    
    if(isset( $all_user_fields['yummly']  )){
        $all_user_fields['yummly']['advanced'] = 'social';
        $all_user_fields['yummly']['icon'] = 'um-icon-tshirt';
        $all_user_fields['yummly']['color'] = 'red';
        $all_user_fields['yummly']['match'] = 'https://www.yummly.com/';
        

    }
    return $all_user_fields;
} );

    let’s say you want to add a social icon on the header for ‘yummly’, you can add a profile field (URL field) with the meta key ‘yummly’ and apply above mentioned filter.

    Hi @aswingiri

    thanks for your quick reply. I’ve very little knowledge of CSS which is why I am choosing to use plugins in the first place. How would I change the icon with “some custom CSS”? Is it not possible to allow users to upload their own icons in the form fields?

    I’d appreciate it if you could let the development team know. Maybe, when that feature becomes available, I’ll renew my US300+ annual subscription then.

    Thanks again.

    Agree, the social profiles should be updated even in the free version…at least replace the defunct google+ with something that still exists
