Is there a way to have social blocks link to different social media on different pages

CallumMcAllister · May 12, 2020

Hey!

In short I want the social blocks to be able to link to personal social media on the whole site, except the page www.callummcallister.com/toodles where I want them to link to my band's social media. I also want the personal social media blocks to only have email, twitter and instagram, whereas I want the band social media to link to a variety of different social media accounts.

Is there a way to do this?

Thank you I'll give that a go!

Hey @tuanphan sorry to bother again!

Where in the code do the social urls need to go? And also is there a way to add the icons for youtube and email as well?

Thanks in advance. This has been really helpful.

Actually sorry @tuanphan I managed to figure that out. The last thing 2 things I'm trying to figure out are if it's possible to get the links to open a new tab. And also whether it's possible to set the other icons to change colour when you hover, but the icon hovered over to remain the same, as is the style on the in-built social blocks on the site?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Which icons? Can you share link to page where you inserted icons?

With icon hover: You can use CSS

With open in new tab, above code, edit this code

Quote


<li>
  <a href="#" target="_blank">
  <i class="fa fa-dribble"></i>
  </a>
</li>

target="_blank" mean open link in new tab

I've left in the squarespace social block above the coded one to show the difference.

In the screenshot I am hovering over the twitter icon, which stays the same colour while the other two icons turns grey.

Thanks again! this has been very helpful. The code for a new tab worked a treat.

Which plan do you use? Personal or Business?

@tuanphan Sorry to jump in on this- but @CallumMcAllister was able to figure out where to put the social URL. I am new to the coding portion, so I don't know where to put it! Help :)

It's where it says href = "#" replace the # with the url.

It's where it says href = "#" replace the # with the url.

Above code is FontAwesome 4. It doesn't support Tiktok & Whatsapp.

You can use FontAwesome 5, register an account > Get Font link > Then replace

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">

with FA 5 link

To add new icons, use this syntax

Quote


<li>
  <a href="#">
  <i class="fa fa-dribble"></i>
  </a>
</li>

Replace i class fa .... with Whatapp or Tiktok syntax.

See here. https://fontawesome.com/icons/tiktok?style=brands

https://fontawesome.com/icons/whatsapp?style=brands

Is there a way to have social blocks link to different social media on different pages
