Hello,

I am trying to replace the "chain" link standard image that is embedded on the top right of my page for our discord link as it does not have one that normally pops up. Any help? its the one to the right of instagram. Thank you!

/* CHANGES SOCIAL ICON TO DISCORD */
.sqs-svg-icon--list a:nth-of-type(4) {
svg {
display:none;
}
background-image: url(https://cdn4.iconfinder.com/data/icons/logos-and-brands/512/91_Discord_logo_logos-512.png);
background-size: 110%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Thank you for the response. All i need to do is copy that into the Custom CSS? i tried to copy/paste and nothing happened. sorry not a genius at this.

Update: There is better code for the Discord icon issue. Please see the following.

My original post follows.

Add the following to Design > Custom CSS.

/* begin change social icon to discord */

  .header-actions--right .header-actions-action--social .icon:nth-of-type( 4 ), /* desktop */
  .header-menu-actions .header-menu-actions-action--social:nth-of-type( 4 ) /* mobile */
  
    {
    
      background-image: url( https://cdn4.iconfinder.com/data/icons/logos-and-brands/512/91_Discord_logo_logos-512.png );
      background-repeat: no-repeat;
      background-size: 110%;
      
      }
      
  .header-actions--right .header-actions-action--social .icon:nth-of-type( 4 ) svg, /* desktop */
  .header-menu-actions .header-menu-actions-action--social:nth-of-type( 4 ) svg /* mobile */
  
    {
    
      display: none;
      
      }
      
  /* end change social icon to discord */

This is specific to the poster's need.

Let us know how it goes.

random question.... i figured out a lot of what you did and i appreciate it. do you know if there is a way to make it to where it appears as a different color on different pages? When i go to the Store part of SS, all the other icons go white. 

I'm going to suggest a different approach to your issue.

The original image is an SVG. If we use some Javascript we should be able to swap out the original SVG data with an SVG from discord.

The big advantage is that it appears to pick up the colors automatically! With a little editing of the SVG direct from discord.

My initial tests show that may work well. If that is something you want to pursue let us know.

This is for v7.1.

If the position of the discord link changes in the header you can change the value for discordLinkPosition.

Hi Creedon! I used this code myself to get Discord as my third link and it worked great! However - I am trying to add Telegram as a 4th social link on my site. Anyway you can help me duplicate and edit this code to add that icon as well? Thanks a bunch!

Was hoping to change the 2nd link to a telegram logo. I am currently using custom CSS on the third link to get the discord logo!

@Stijn

I can help if you can provide a suitable SVG graphic. It should be black and white, I think.

I suggest contacting Telegram and ask if they have an official SVG icon suitable for this purpose. I much prefer official code to the tons of hacks on a jillion sites out there.

A small rant! Hey you social media companies out there! Please provide a media page on your site that contains official media. PNGs, JPEGs, SVGs, etc.! Doing that for us helps your users promote your brand. Free advertising! Make versions suitable to be added as a link to site builders like SS!

Thank you for your help in this thread! I had the same problem and was able to get the Discord icon working in my header. I'm now facing the same problem within my "Contact Us" page: https://www.yurconalegames.com/contact-us.

How would I modify the code to add the Discord icon to my "Social Links" section on this page?

@Yurconale

Please see the following. Even though we are discussing a different social icon, the same underlying issue applies.

I have updated my cited code in my Nov. 29, 2020 post.

Hi there, I just found this link and was able to use it for my discord icon! Many thanks!

I was wondering if you ended up doing the same for a telegram/whatsapp icon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have a great day!

I have done header Whatsapp code.

I don't have a Whatsapp solution for social icons in other locations.

Hi, I tried using the code you updated, and the header is working fine, but my footer is having issues displaying the icon! May I know what I might be doing wrongly?

Extensive changes. Added support for v7.0 Brine template family. Also social blocks are supported as well.

I tried this, it changed the logo for Linkedin instead, any tips?

Yes. The code I wrote was for a specific users need.

There is better more generic code now. Please see the following.
