Hi guys,

I am playing with your Nex template but for the life of me can not find the module with Twitter, Facebook and RSS buttons. What am I missing?

I assume that most likely I would’t have had this issue in case of running Nex Quick Start but, sorry, I am running the template only.

Cheers,

Alex

Greetings Alex:

You are correct in that if you had started via the quickstart+sample data install, you would likely not be experiencing this issue. Nevertheless – assuming you are referring to the “connect” social icons within the footer section of the demo, please refer to post #2, item #6 within the JA NEX USER GUIDE for information on how to configure this element.

😎

Hi Tom.

Cheers for the prompt reply.

The module in question is the one, that resides at the top of your Nex demo page to the left of the Search box in the “social” position.

Well, so far so good. I created the HTML module and it duly appeared on my front page. Next schoolboy question is where should I enter my personal FB an Twitter credentials to tie the knobs up to my social accounts?

Cheers,

Alex

OK. Change of plans.

I’ve now installed the Nex Quick Start pack with sample data to imitate as close as I can your demo but still don’t see where I should tie up the Twitter and FB knobs in the “Follow Me” module to my own credentials.

Hey Alex:

Personally, I always begin with the quickstart+sample data installation – as it is infinitely easier (for me, anyway) to start with all that I liked in the demo version and then modify what I want/need – rather than pulling my hair out trying to reinvent the wheel, ya know? 😉

Now, I personally have not played around as much with all of the settings/modules within JA NEX,
but in effort to answer to your question ….

I believe you enter the link/reference to your own facebook/twitter page(s) within the HTML code.
More specifically, it would be the “href=”your facebook/twitter page url” within the module backend settings.
<div class=”social”><a class=”ico-social ico-facebooks” href=”#” title=”Facebook”><span>Facebook</span></a><a class=”ico-social ico-twitters” href=”#” title=”Twitter”><span>Twitter</span></a><a class=”ico-social ico-rss” href=”#” title=”RSS”><span>RSS</span></a></div>

Give that a shot and let me know if it works . . . . . . . . or, rather, if my head is full of rocks. 😉
