JA ACM social button addition not working

cyclist87

Hello,

I followed the directions here to add social buttons like Instagram and Youtube.

Like another member, it does'nt entirely work. The hover doesn't work and the url is set to local folder...

What am I doing wrong ? Missing a step ?

Hi cyclist87

Could you share the super admin account and ftp account of your site so I can take a look?

cyclist87

Hello, saguaros

I have edited the first post with those access. Thanks for having a look.

saguaros

cyclist87 It seems that you're working on your site, let me know if you still need help on this.

cyclist87

saguaros hello, yes i still need help. Im in eastern time zone. Is the site appeared closed on your end?

saguaros

cyclist87 It seems that you have cache enabled in your server side, could clear cache there and check again?

cyclist87

saguaros

the cache folder in the main directory is clear. and so in the administration. Can you be more specific how to turn off cache on the server side ?

Thanks !

saguaros

cyclist87 In your server hosting, there is cache settings or maybe you're using cloudflare. If you're not aware of this, kindly contact your hosting provider for help to clear cache or temporarily disable it.

I updated a bit in the file: /templates/uber/acm/footer/tmpl/style-1.php

<?php if($helper->get('instagram')): ?>
<a href="http://instagram.com/packtravelride"><i class="fa fa-instagram"></i></a>
<?php endif; ?>

Kindly check.

Hello, it does work on the front end and I copy past to do it for the youtube button also, but then the back end is useless.

Any ways this will be fixed in the near futur ? It seems Instagram and youtube are mainstream and should be included in this kind of plugin...

If there is a way to make the back end works I'll be interested as I was planning to use this template for a few websites and changing the code in all iterations would take more time.

Thanks

For now, instead of using this:

<a class="addthis_button_youtube_follow" addthis:usertype="company" addthis:userid="<?php echo $helper->get('youtube')?>"><i class="fa fa-youtube"></i></a>

You can add direct link to your Youtube channel there:

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_JlnXP5dJHj1ReVpfI0r8A" target="_blank"><i class="fa fa-youtube"></i></a>

I updated for you.

cyclist87 Uber is pretty old template, we're maintaining template only. It will depend on the decision from the team. I will forward this to them for further consideration.

cyclist87

thanks. Although old, I believe it is one of the best still

saguaros

cyclist87 Thank you 🙂
