Flexible Footer Menu Multilingual ... for Bootstrap

MikeyG:

I am testing the bootstrap and this flexible Footer, but the social media icons do not show. Code seems to be there in the set up but not showing on the storefront. Any ideas why? Thank you.
A link to the site in question, along with the Bootstrap and Flexible Footer versions, would help.

testing latest version zc2.2.1 downloaded today with latest version of the forum of the multilingual flexible footer II from the site again loaded today. running locally on a WAMP 3.3.8 php 8.4.24 . No Icons appearing <i class="fa fa-facebook-official"></i> is the html when I inspect the site.

Hope that gives you enough let me know what other info would help. thanks

From the plugin's wiki: https://github.com/lat9/bootstrap_ffmm/wiki/Storefront-Display-With-Sample-Data

Note that the display of the brand-related icons on the rightmost column of the footer is enabled by updating your site's copy of /includes/extra_datafiles/site-specific-bootstrap-settings.php to use.

Thank you for that, Had not spotted it.... However, now set to true, has not brought them in.

Was this an upgrade from a previous, non-encapsulated, version? The initial install of the encapsulated version sets the brand-related links as

<a href="https://twitter.com" target="_blank" class="mx-2"><i class="fa-brands fa-twitter fa-2x"></i></a><a href="https://www.instagram.com" target="_blank" class="mx-2"><i class="fa-brands fa-instagram fa-2x"></i></a><a href="https://www.facebook.com" target="_blank" class="mx-2"><i class="fa-brands fa-facebook fa-2x"></i></a>

That's using the now-current version of FontAwesome brand-related icons.

Thank you.

Just to confirm to help others: The code below has worked and is different from the default that was in the manager when I installed. Others may want to use the below as their starting point too.

<a href="https://twitter.com" target="_blank" class="mx-2"><i class="fa-brands fa-twitter fa-2x"></i></a><a href="https://www.instagram.com" target="_blank" class="mx-2"><i class="fa-brands fa-instagram fa-2x"></i></a><a href="https://www.facebook.com" target="_blank" class="mx-2"><i class="fa-brands fa-facebook fa-2x"></i></a>

Thank you so much for the help.

It seems like the Image column in Admin > Tools > Flexible Footer Menu Multilingual II is not being displayed even when it's set.

The image is only displayed if both the Column Header/Sub Header and Page Name elements are blank.

Ah ok thank you. What was mixing me up was in the old one it was possible to have both. It's ok that the new one doesn't, but it does display the image in admin even when Column Header/Sub Header or Page Name are non-blank, which is confusing. Might be worth aligning the admin view to what the storefront does.

A nice enhancement for accessibility would be to add an "image title" field after the image field so that footer image alt tags would not just be "A generic image."
