Add vkontakte icon (social)

How to add vk (vkontakte) icon to the cardinal theme ?

Looks like the easies way is to change the link to the icon of one of the social profiles, which I don’t use, to the vk icon (http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icon/vk/) and just paste the link to this profile… for example linkedin.

Where to change the link to the icon? Please help, I cheked all the files of the theme with search but can not find it.

Sure this topic will be helpful for many Eastern Europe customers.
Thank you

Hi

I’m afraid it doesn’t work like that, the code for the social icons is in cardinal/swift-framework/shortcodes.php

And how to change one of the icons ?

[Kyle – SUPPORT]

Let’s say you wanted to change Dribbble, you would change this:

if ($dribbble) {
					$social_icons .= '<li class="dribbble"><a href="http://www.dribbble.com/'.$dribbble.'" target="_blank"><i class="fa-dribbble"></i><i class="fa-dribbble"></i></a></li>'."\n";
				}

You would have to change the link to https://vk.com/ and then change class”fa-dribbble” to class=”fa-vk”

Yes, This is exactly what I wanted to do…. but the problem is that I can not find which file to edit

cardinal/swift-framework/shortcodes.php – There is no such file

cardinal\swift-framework\page-builder\inc\shortcodes.php – No such code in this file

and searching in files does not helps

Sorry it’s cardinal/swift-framework/core/shortcodes.php

Hello,

I’m trying to do something similar but the file sf-shortcodes.php is not where you say it is above. Where is it now?

Thank you

Hi,

@zac55 – Its only shortcodes.php file at cardinal/swift-framework/core/shortcodes.php . Whats the name of your theme?
Thanks
Mohammad

I’m using the latest version of Cardinal. I updated to the latest framework as well. I do not see the file you say – I have attached a picture to show you it’s not there.

Hi,
You can find sf-shortcodes.php file at /cardinal/swift-framework/includes/shortcodes/.
Thanks

It’s not there either. I’ve searched in all the folders in swift-framework and don’t see it.

Thank you.
