IMDB social media button to Articles

AzimuthDesigns

I am hoping to add IMDB to to the social media icons in yellow to the page listed above.

The editable form is in the "Extra Fields" for the Models.

I can't seem to find anything listed for opening in a new window either.

It's likely a unique icon not provided by ionicons....https://ionic.io/ionicons

I can't seem to find anywhere to add in a link or reference for other types of social media links. Is there a reference anywhere for these?

Thank you!

Hi
the icons support is from Fontawsome 4 version for the video you can use this code

video-camera

and link it to the page you want it will show the video icon on the frontend

I will look into where that application is located.

Is there any mechanism to link to unique actual svg IMDB graphics or can I make one?

Thank you!

Is there a list of the icons available...shouldn't there be something for IMDB? it exists on their list.

Hi
The version in the template is 4.5 and it does not have this icon.
You can load the new fontawesome script for your site for latest icon.
Setup new kit with your account : https://fontawesome.com/v5.15/how-to-use/customizing-wordpress/snippets/setup-kit
Add script in template custom fields
Add : imdb in extra fields.

You can use new icons after that :

Hi
There is no such extension as it is custom field element and work to add with custom classes.
You can apply the suggestion i shared.
For the open link in new tab
open file "‎/html/com_content/article/model-centered.php" in template "ja_aiga".
find

<a href="<?php echo $value->social_link; ?>" title="">
										<span class="fa fa-<?php echo $value->social_font; ?>"></span>
									</a>

replace it with

<a href="<?php echo $value->social_link; ?>" title="" target="_blank">
										<span class="fa fa-<?php echo $value->social_font; ?>"></span>
									</a>

Do the same for other layout if you are using another model layout.

AzimuthDesigns

which ever one manages the icons or can be installed to extend the ability to use custom or pre-fab icons on the Models page...for example "IMDB"
