Thanks to Mosh Shigdar from Wolfshead Solutions:

We now have a social plugin for our skins so we can add social icons without making any manual template edits. This also means if you have more than 1 skin with us you don't need to edit each skin separately.
Installation is very simple, In all of our skin packages you will find a directory called 'Social-Icons-Plugin' containing the plugin file called 'product-ws_bluepearl_socialpages.xml'

Installation:
Goto your ADMINCP panel --> Plugin & Products --> Manage Products
And then click [add/import Product] and upload this file (product-ws_bluepearl_socialpages.xml)

Settings:
Once the plugin is installed you can add your social pages by going to:
Settings --> Bluepearl Skins - Social Page Icons

If you need support feel free to post in this thread.

Thank You Sean for this Great Idea with the Social Icons and the Plugin. Must I install the Plugin for every Style in all packages or only once?

[Sean James]

Hey savraot I love it as well!!

You only need to install this plugin once and it will work with all of our skins.

[Taurus]

Now that is really cool! Great stuff mate. Thank you very much!

[Sean James]

No problem guys, Mosh did a great job with this mod.

[Razor]

Nicely done! Works great on the forums but the forward on CMPS seems bugged.

[Crotan]

Awesome idea!, though are we still able to make the template edits in the same way if want to add social icons for sites maybe not included?

For instance I followed your layout but also added social icons for steam groups and our mumble server.

The forward? Can you please post a screenshot. Also please double check this is happening on our demo board:
www.bluepearl-skins.com/vBulletin and is not caused by a plugin or mod.

This can be done by modifying this code in the navbar template:

 
  <ul>
   <vb:if condition="!empty($vbulletin->options['ws_bluepearl_sp_rss'])"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.ws_bluepearl_sp_rss}"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_icons}/icon-rss.png" /></a></li></vb:if>
   <vb:if condition="!empty($vbulletin->options['ws_bluepearl_sp_twitter'])"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.ws_bluepearl_sp_twitter}"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_icons}/icon-twitter.png" /></a></li></vb:if>
   <vb:if condition="!empty($vbulletin->options['ws_bluepearl_sp_facebook'])"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.ws_bluepearl_sp_facebook}"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_icons}/icon-facebook.png" /></a></li></vb:if>
   <vb:if condition="!empty($vbulletin->options['ws_bluepearl_sp_linkedin'])"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.ws_bluepearl_sp_linkedin}"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_icons}/icon-linkedin.png" /></a></li></vb:if>
   <vb:if condition="!empty($vbulletin->options['ws_bluepearl_sp_myspace'])"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.ws_bluepearl_sp_myspace}"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_icons}/icon-myspace.png" /></a></li></vb:if>
   <vb:if condition="!empty($vbulletin->options['ws_bluepearl_sp_blogger'])"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.ws_bluepearl_sp_blogger}"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_icons}/icon-blogger.png" /></a></li></vb:if>
   <vb:if condition="!empty($vbulletin->options['ws_bluepearl_sp_youtube'])"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.ws_bluepearl_sp_youtube}"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_icons}/icon-youtube.png" /></a></li></vb:if>
   <vb:if condition="!empty($vbulletin->options['ws_bluepearl_sp_flickr'])"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.ws_bluepearl_sp_flickr}"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_icons}/icon-flickr.png" /></a></li></vb:if>
   <vb:if condition="!empty($vbulletin->options['ws_bluepearl_sp_google'])"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.ws_bluepearl_sp_google}"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_icons}/icon-google.png" /></a></li></vb:if>
  </ul>

To something like this:

 
  <ul>
   <vb:if condition="!empty($vbulletin->options['ws_bluepearl_sp_rss'])"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.ws_bluepearl_sp_rss}"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_icons}/icon-rss.png" /></a></li></vb:if>
   <vb:if condition="!empty($vbulletin->options['ws_bluepearl_sp_twitter'])"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.ws_bluepearl_sp_twitter}"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_icons}/icon-twitter.png" /></a></li></vb:if>
   <vb:if condition="!empty($vbulletin->options['ws_bluepearl_sp_facebook'])"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.ws_bluepearl_sp_facebook}"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_icons}/icon-facebook.png" /></a></li></vb:if>
   <vb:if condition="!empty($vbulletin->options['ws_bluepearl_sp_linkedin'])"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.ws_bluepearl_sp_linkedin}"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_icons}/icon-linkedin.png" /></a></li></vb:if>
   <vb:if condition="!empty($vbulletin->options['ws_bluepearl_sp_myspace'])"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.ws_bluepearl_sp_myspace}"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_icons}/icon-myspace.png" /></a></li></vb:if>
   <vb:if condition="!empty($vbulletin->options['ws_bluepearl_sp_blogger'])"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.ws_bluepearl_sp_blogger}"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_icons}/icon-blogger.png" /></a></li></vb:if>
   <vb:if condition="!empty($vbulletin->options['ws_bluepearl_sp_youtube'])"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.ws_bluepearl_sp_youtube}"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_icons}/icon-youtube.png" /></a></li></vb:if>
   <vb:if condition="!empty($vbulletin->options['ws_bluepearl_sp_flickr'])"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.ws_bluepearl_sp_flickr}"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_icons}/icon-flickr.png" /></a></li></vb:if>
   <vb:if condition="!empty($vbulletin->options['ws_bluepearl_sp_google'])"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.ws_bluepearl_sp_google}"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_icons}/icon-google.png" /></a></li></vb:if>
<li>new link and image </li>
  </ul>

Hi Sean, just installed the plugin, but I am not seeing the icons on any other Bluepearl skins than the Seamus skins. (Which had them already) I added my links in my ACP. Please help. Thanks.

[Sean James]

You will need to also update the navbar template and add the new CSS in the additional.css template.

[rocko]

My index page went blank and some other functions such as newthread and new post dont work when I imported this product. what do i do?????

[Sean James]

Maybe you have a plugin that is effecting our one. Reponded to your support ticket, send me a list of your install plugins and we can sort out the problem.

[Mosh Shigdar]

You are most welcome Sean

Customers are loving this plugin, great work

[Ellendway]

Sean, can we somewhere change default icons for our own?

[Sean James]

To change the icons, goto the /misc/ image folder and change the icons to whatever you would like them to be.

[Ellendway]

Oh yeah, I didn't notice these small bastards Thanks Sean.

[insidegames]

Hey Sean

The Icons doesn't show up in my little, smart forum.

http://forum.insidegames.ch/

I used vBulletin 4.1.2. this plugin run on my forum -> http://www.vbulletin...ht=Add+new+tabs

[Sean James]

Even though this plugin has not been tested with 4.1.2 this should not be a problem.
Do you have the icons uploaded to the misc or icons image folder?
