[SOLVED] Add facebook button in user's profile

Hello,

I have installed the new CB Connect 6.0, but I don't want the users can access by facebook login, I only want the users have the posibility to include a facebook link to their personal pages. Is it possible?

Thank you, and congratulations for the improvements with 2.0!

I would imagine you turn off the facebook option with CBConnect but enable the facebook field in the registration page and set it to display in the profile. This would apply to any social media links with CBConnect. In fact if you don't want people registering off their social media sites, you don't need CBConnect installed.

The links would only display as a link, not as icons.

Thank you for your answer. I agree and I have uninstalled CB Connect. I can't find Facebook field in the fields type drop-down, only appears Web Address as similar option. It works fine and displays as a link as you said.

But I would like a line with different social icons like facebook, tweeter, instagram, etc linked to the personal sites of the users. I have used CB Substitutions, adding

<a href=[cb_facebook]><img src="images/banners/facebook1.jpg"/></a>

in Parameters > Layouts > Profile Value Layout, and adding some CSS to show the incons in a line. But the link doesn't work because it add the url of my main site to the url written in the field. Some idea?

If all you want is a link then I wouldn't bother with CB Connect as that's not its purpose at all. The purpose of CB Connect is single sign-on with social site login and profile data. For what you're wanting just create a text field and use the layout feature to build a link to their social site profile.

We include fontawesome with CB 2.0 so you can use fontawesome for the icons. Example as follows.


See the below for more fontawesome icons.

You should build the link except for the ID. Example as follows.

www.facebook.com/profile.php?id= [cb_facebook]

The user would then just supply their facebook id to the cb_facebook field. Your layout would be as follows.

¡Great!

Thank you very much.
