Social Media Links not working was created by LindaMann
All of a sudden I am having trouble on three of my club websites with the Social Media Links... Division B, Division J and the Toastmasters International Links that I created are not showing up all of sudden... Does anyone have any idea why it stopped working?

Club numbers are: 6083, 879, 3533

In short, you are not entering the correct information, so you will not get the intended results.

The format is target URL, icon URL (include comma) as specified in the info below the entry box.

If specifying an icon URL, then you must also specify a target URL.

The icon URL must be a linkable URL ... it cannot reference files from the file manager or download areas as those are not directly linkable. The links created for those go through a middle downloader routine... not direct.

You can upload icons to your image upload area via the image uploader in any editor box, and create a link to that.

You can reference your image uploads by putting /imageuploads/####/filename after your club url where #### is your club number and the filename is replaced with the actual filename.

When I first created it though, the links worked fine.... If I did it incorrectly, why did it work at the beginning?

Ok, I made a change to accommodate you. However, you really should not be using images uploaded to the file manager for icons. The mechanism for downloads is not really a good fit for this functionality, regardless of whether you got it to work or not via the download link. I will not guarantee that approach will work in the future.

I will probably have to put an upload button near the social icons in the future to allow icons to be uploaded to the club imageupload folder on the server.
