Re: Social Networking Sidebar

Could you post the url to your site so I can see how you tried to implement it? or at least explain a little on what settings you used to try to implement the sidebar with a popup image?

Re: Social Networking Sidebar

I have not tried this on other browsers but with Firefox 6.0 and its popup blocker enabled, this works fine. Thank you for a great mod.

Re: Social Networking Sidebar

I am using www.zenflavor.com and it uses jquery.
This mod kills the slideshow on the front page. Is there a way to fix this?

Re: Social Networking Sidebar

Hello :-)

I just submitted a major update to this module including:

Added new html readme file

Moved inline styles to the includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet_social_header.css file

Removed need to edit includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/html_header.php file

Moved files from sidebar directory to template override directories

Added Links/icons for Pinterest, Google Plus, and Blog

Fixed XHTML Validation Errors

Moved all hard coded images, urls, titles, and alt tags to a define file, includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/social_sidebar_defines.php

See a live demo here:

Social Networking Sidebar Demo

Module Features:

Completely customizable--add links to any social media outlet

Sidebar stays visible at all times while users scroll your page

W3C Valid XHTML and CSS

Cross Browser Compatible

No changes to core files

Easy Installation

Detailed HTML readme file with written instructions and screenshots, and links to videos for the installation and customization steps.

Fully compatible with versions 1.3.8x, 1.3.9x, 1.5x. Would probably work with lower versions although it has not been tested.

Please post any bugs or questions here.

Thanks,

Anne

Re: Social Networking Sidebar

I did submit a post on your website Anne, but I think it might be better here for everyone visiting these forums. :-)

Anyway like I said there, I have installed the addon and it is really lovely. I've even added my own buttons & links.

I can NOT get two of the buttons to hide though. I have edited the CSS file in this directory:

/includes/templates/(mytemplate)/css/stylesheet_social_sidebar.css

I used the .facebook{display:none;} string you mention in your readme file so that I could remove the youtube & google plus icons.

I tried this:

.youtube-sh{display:none;}
.google-sh{display:none;}

I also tried it without the '-sh'. I added these on their own lines at the very bottom of the CSS file, a line under all of the other code.

Am I doing something wrong? The buttons still show.

I am sorry about that! I will add these classes in the next package update. For now, if you want to remove the icons you can remove the code directly from the includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_main_page.php file.

So for youtube, remove this:

<a href='<?php echo YOUTUBE; ?>' target='_blank' title='<?php echo YOUTUBE_TITLE; ?>'><img src='<?php echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.YOUTUBE_ICON ?>' class='soico' alt='<?php echo YOUTUBE_ALT; ?>' /></a>

You can shorten the bar by adjusting the stylesheet_social_sidebar.css

Thanks,

Anne

Re: Social Networking Sidebar

I installed this mod and it looks great but when I edited includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/social_sidebar_defines.php
links, facebook,twitter & youtube takes me to a page not found on my site.
Any ideas on what I need to do to fix this?

It looks like you have some sort of conflict in some old template file that is overriding the current social_sidebar_defines.php. If you have installed anything by bling themes I would recommend removing the unused files in extra_definitions used by any bling theme.

Thanks,

That's really weird because when I hover on your facebook icon it is pointing to /blingthemes. Maybe it is in your zen cart zen template?

Try just adding your urls to the includes/templates/your template/common/tpl_main_page.php file

You can also do a developers toolkit search for the constant FACEBOOK to find out what files it is in and where the blingthemes is coming from.

Thanks,

Anne
