XenForo [JoyFreak] Social Profiles

[El Bana]

Description

This guide will run you through on how to get a little more creative and create a visual flair by displaying a Font Awesome icon on your social profiles. This is an improvement that was released in XF 2.2 and here we will walk through the various social media profiles you can use and display in a number of places, without having to install a single add-on.

Guide

2. Field ID: This can be anything you want i.e. steam
3. Title: This can be anything you want i.e. Steam
4. Description: This can be anything you want i.e. Enter your Steam ID here.
5. Display location: Contact details
6. Field type: Single-line text Box
7. General option: User editable, Moderator editable, Viewable on profile pages, Viewable in message user info

That's the Steam profile done. If you follow the same steps for any profile you want added, you'll just need to fill out the fields for the "Value display HTML" and "Wrapped display HTML". It's pretty self-explanatory but if you do get stuck, I'd be happy to help.
