Hi,
The social links in ACM module are not usable. They do not take URLs but only parts of the URL. This presents big problems because the module forces URL links. For the linkedin link, I enter “yangyangli” and the URL it creates is http://linkedin.com/company/yangyangli.
I am a user so the company prefix doesn’t redirect to my page. I need to change the URL setting so it creates “https://www.linkedin.com/in/rayliverified”. How can I change it? Thank you.

Hi
Go to templatesuberacmfootertmpl/style-1.php
find this code

<?php if($helper->get('linkedin')): ?>
<a class="addthis_button_linkedin_follow" addthis:usertype="company" addthis:userid="<?php echo $helper->get('linkedin')?>"><i class="fa fa-linkedin"></i></a>
<?php endif; ?>


change it into

<?php if($helper->get('linkedin')): ?>
<a class="addthis_button_linkedin_follow" addthis:userid="<?php echo $helper->get('linkedin')?>"><i class="fa fa-linkedin"></i></a>
<?php endif; ?>


save file ,clear cache and check .

I have this link for my Linkedin profile:

http://www.linkedin.com/pub/*******-*****/n/nnn/nnn

I changed style-1 in the suggested way but what I get is this link:

http://www.linkedin.com/in/pub/*******-*****/n/nnn/nnn

so there is a “in/” that I don’t need.

I also tryed to change usertype=”company” with usertype=”pub” with no success.

What can I do to get the correct link.

Thank you.

I think the problem is that I need to create a customize URL
