Anne,
I have been beating my head against the wall all night and can't figure out what's going on. I can not get the social media links on my slider bar to go to my links. i have even reloaded the complete template and reloaded the social_define.php file. When I reloaded the file, I confirmed they were your links then changed them to mine and saved. Even went to another computer to load my site and social links loaded your links instead of mine. I searched the thread and found a couple of instances just like mine but all were either cut short or something else changed. My site is www.bearcreekleather.com and facebook link is www.facebook.com/bclleather any idea what could possibly be causing this!?! I'm literally at my wits end. There's not many problems I can't figure out but this is one for the record books. Thanks in advance for any help.

It should be in this file tpl_main_page.php which you can use Developers Toolkit to search for it!
/public_html/includes/templates/your_template/common

I think that maybe I didn't ask the question correctly or there was a misunderstanding. All I want to do is change the links from your facebook page to mine, yet when I changed the links in the associated files according to the documentation, the links still go to your sites. You said in the link reply above, it should be in tpl_main_page.php yet I see nothing in there pertaining to the associated links?!? Could you please elaborate?

I found the problem, although I'm not quite sure why it was happening. I used the developers tool kit (THANKS to USWEBORX!!) and found the link I needed to change in the includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/sheffield_blue/footer_menu_defines.php. Although the social icon I was clicking on was in the slider on the side, this link was the one that allowed it to take me to my page instead of the original.

I am happy that you figured out the problem. Thank you for posting your solution. This bug has already been fixed in the Responsive Sheffield Blue template package. It has many bug fixes and enhancements over this legacy package. I would recommend using the responsive package.



Thanks,

Anne

Actually Anne,

I tried the Responsive Sheffield Blue template and, at least on my website, it had issues that were not workable depending upon the width of the browser window. I understand that that's exactly what it's supposed to do depending upon the machine it's being viewed on (ipad, iphone, tablet, computer...). That said, when the window size was reduced on any browser, the description would be closed or the banners would be rearranged along with various other issues. Because of the clientele I deal with (not all of the them being computer savvy) I decided it would be best to use something more "stable" (not a derogatory statement towards the template please don't misunderstand) for lack of a better term. I would rather work through any issues I'm having with this one then deal with a responsive template. Thanks for all your work on all of these though. I have at least 4 of your templates that I'm using and looking at for production. The Bentley is another one of my favorites.

So like all things, a correction is likely to be needed/a bug found, etc. Many of the things you describe as being a problem are corrected/addressed in the forum.

Just my thoughts on the situation.

That said, I am having one last problem. I can't seem to find the file needed to input the code to stop displaying the social media Icons. I don't know if I'm in the wrong file or using the wrong code. I'm using the social_defines.php file found in /includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/sheffield_blue and using .facebook{display:none;} along with the attributes below that .facebook-sh{display:none;} but to no avail. Could you point me in the right direction as to which file it should be in and if I'm I'm using the proper syntax. Thanks in advance.

I believe that this question has been asked and answered more than once already here. Use .sidebar{display:none;}

Thanks,

Anne
