Clickable Social Icon Links on Profile

I created a branch with Mastodon and some other sites that are relevant to my community. Being able to add their social links to their profiles is important to them - I really hope this can be fixed.

I’d be interested in this but unless there is sign of addressing the Ember 5 warnings, I’m just standing by.

I made a PR to modernize the component. :+1:

Later, I might try another PR to change the settings so you can create your own link (instead of forking the component).

Thanks so much! Does this solve the Ember 5 issue?

Here is a link to FA5 Twitter X icon

Iirc you will need to add it to site settings svg? Or might just work by changing in the theme component

fa-x-twitter

Edit just noticed this is for font awesome 6

I added support for X (instead of Twitter) and the temporary icon throught the PR mentioned above:

You can see it live here.

As soon as a Threads logo is available I will add Threads support, too.

Done. :smiley:

Note: You will need the newest Discourse with this UX change (see also here) because I changed the X/Twitter logo back to fab-twitter:

Hey @weallwegot - great theme component! Already using on my site, and it rocks :metal:

One thing would make it better though - any chance of adding Strava as one of the supported social links?

I have installed this Components but why can’t I display the Social icon in the Author section (like the demo image)?

Seems to work :face_with_monocle:

Did you setup your custom user fields with names that match the ones in the component settings that you want to use?

Has anyone figured out how to use a different color for when users opt to use dark mode?

*edit – oops, I see that users can select their own color in the preferences.

This is weird, but only admin can see the icons. I don’t believe there is a setting to specify that, but I seem to be having that issue.

Are we able to get Github icon support aswell?
