Use Icons in Footer menu

[No Dinx]

Hey there, Running the latest versions of WP and Dante. I already modified footer.php to display icons in the footer menu by adding in the line here:

$footer_menu_args = array(
'echo'            => true,
'theme_location' => 'footer_menu',
'walker' => new sf_mega_menu_walker,
'fallback_cb' => ''
);
wp_nav_menu( $footer_menu_args );

Now what I want is for the footer menu to only contain those icons as the link, and no other text.

I can’t figure out how to modify this bit in the child theme functions.php…

class sf_mega_menu_walker extends Walker_Nav_Menu {

function start_el(&$output, $item, $depth = 0, $args = array(), $current_object_id = 0) {

global $wp_query;
$indent = ( $depth ) ? str_repeat( "\t", $depth ) : '';

$class_names = $value = '';

$classes = empty( $item->classes ) ? array() : (array) $item->classes;

$natural_width = empty( $item->isnaturalwidth ) ? "" : "sf-mega-menu-natural-width";
$alt_style = empty( $item->altstyle ) ? "" : "sf-mega-menu-alt";
$hideheadings = empty( $item->hideheadings ) ? "" : "no-headings";
$nocolumnspacing = empty( $item->nocolumnspacing ) ? "" : "no-column-spacing";
$menu_width = empty( $item->menuwidth ) ? "" : 'style="width: '.$item->menuwidth.'px;"';

$class_names = join( ' ', apply_filters( 'nav_menu_css_class', array_filter( $classes ), $item ) );
$class_names = ' class="menu-item-'. $item->ID . ' '. esc_attr( $class_names ) . ' '.$natural_width.' '.$alt_style.' '.$hideheadings.' '.$nocolumnspacing.'" '.$menu_width;

$output .= $indent . '<li ' . $value . $class_names .'>';

$attributes  = ! empty( $item->attr_title ) ? ' title="'  . esc_attr( $item->attr_title ) .'"' : '';
$attributes .= ! empty( $item->target )     ? ' target="' . esc_attr( $item->target     ) .'"' : '';
$attributes .= ! empty( $item->xfn )        ? ' rel="'    . esc_attr( $item->xfn        ) .'"' : '';
$attributes .= ! empty( $item->url )        ? ' href="'   . esc_attr( $item->url        ) .'"' : '';

$prepend = '';
$append = '<span class="nav-line"></span>';

$description  = ! empty( $item->description ) ? '<span>'.esc_attr( $item->description ).'</span>' : '';

if ($depth != 0) {
$description = $append = $prepend = "";
}	

if (!empty( $item->megatitle )) {
$item_output = $args->before;
$item_output .= '<span class="title">';
if (!empty( $item->menuicon )) {
$item_output .= '<i class="'.$item->menuicon.'"></i>';
}
$item_output .= $args->link_before .$prepend.apply_filters( 'the_title', $item->title, $item->ID ).$append;
$item_output .= $args->link_after;
$item_output .= '</span>';
if (!empty( $item->htmlcontent )) {
$item_output .= '<div class="mega-menu-widget">'.do_shortcode($item->htmlcontent).'</div>';
}
$item_output .= $args->after;
} else {
$item_output = $args->before;
$item_output .= '<a'. $attributes .'>';
if (!empty( $item->menuicon )) {
$item_output .= '<i class="'.$item->menuicon.'"></i>';
}
$item_output .= '<span class="title">';
$item_output .= $args->link_before .$prepend.apply_filters( 'the_title', $item->title, $item->ID ).$append;
$item_output .= $args->link_after;
$item_output .= '</span>';
//$item_output .= $description.$args->link_after;
//$item_output .= ' '.$item->subtitle.'</a>';
$item_output .= '</a>';
if (!empty( $item->htmlcontent )) {
$item_output .= '<div class="mega-menu-widget">'.do_shortcode($item->htmlcontent).'</div>';
}
$item_output .= $args->after;
}

$output .= apply_filters( 'walker_nav_menu_start_el', $item_output, $item, $depth, $args );

}
}

and you will see I am attempting to give the actual menu item name a span class to wrap itself in, so that I can just set that span class to display: none using CSS. How can I call that function in my child theme functions.php?
