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.

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

Hi Tuanpan,

Thanks for the code here, it seems to have worked. But I can't seem to change the color of the icons?

Any thoughts? sethebackend.com is the site.

Thanks

Hi @tuanphan! I am trying to achieve a similar effect with a separate social link block, I have a personal plan as well so I tried this code but I need to use it for my Behance and Vimeo accounts - how can I include the social icons for these two platforms?

Yes. Possible. Can you share link to page where you added the code. We can see & tweak the code easier

Although you've posted this in the 'Coding' section, you won't need code to style product titles.

You can do this in the Site Styles panel on your Squarespace 7.1 site.

Go to Design > Site Styles > Fonts > Assign Styles.

Scroll down to the Product Detail Page section and click Item Title.

In Size: Size, change Heading to another heading choice or Custom to select a non-standard size.

Hi, @tuanphan! I used this code under the second social icon row on "Meet Julian" in this site: https://sierraboggess.squarespace.com/together password is 2021

Is there a way to make the icons similar to the first row, even the hover colors and effects, and especially the YouTube icon? Thanks so much!

It looks same here. Did you figure it out? If no, can you explain in more detail?

Hello @tuanphan,

Thanks so much for posting this code. I am having trouble copying and pasting into Squarespace and I was wondering if you could help me figure out what I am doing wrong.

I have tried copying and pasting the code a number of times, but I keep getting a "syntax error" in the first line of code. I think it might be that the "ul" in <ul class="t-social"> is purple instead of black as it is in your example, but I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Thanks so much for your help!

First, don't edit the code. Adding #block...will make code Invalid

Second, the code in screenshot is HTML code, you need to add it to Code Block

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