Social Icons Module for Joomla
If you want to quickly display your social profiles on your site, download this great module. The setup is very simple, just enter the URL of the social profile you would like to link and the icon will appear on your homepage.
There are available 3 different icon styles: square, rounded and circle. Choose the icon style that fits best your joomla website design.
At this point you can link to 12 social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Google, Youtube, Soundcloud, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Delicious, Blogger, Reddit, Stumbleupon) and can have an rrs feed link and a contact or mailto link.
In the email filed you could add a url that links to a contact form or if you would like to have a direct email contact, you should insert the following code:
mailto:[email protected]?Subject=Social%20Button
I’m planning to add new icons in the future updates, so if you have any suggestions on what social icons I should include, please leave a comment below on the page.
Social Icon Module Update:

Dear all,
I’ve just tried to locate the social icons on the menu position.
With normal icon set I see on menu area the icon of Facebook twice, one close to other one .
It seems to me very strange.
Is there a possiblility to locate icon over/on front of the logo.png image ?
Thanks
Giovanni
When i installed the module none of the icons have letter or symbols in them. Why?
Can you post a screenshot. I’m not sure what the problem is.
the icons are missing, I think that is caleb is have problems with also
Took a look to your website and it looks like the social icon image was uploaded to the server, but for some reason this is not rendered and it is show as a non-found file. I have updated the module to load the image using a different path, please download and reinstall the modules. If this still not working, probably it is a server limitation you are facing; the image is a PNG file, is this disabled on your server?
I don’t think is a server limitation, I use Bluehost. take a look at my other website is doing the same thing not sure if they are in the same server but I use a lot of png on both websites and those should be having the same problem right? I tried changing the path my self to the default joomla image folder and uploading it there but same result.
What I’ve notice is that if I upload a picture to that directoy and try to go straight to it is fine but if I try to go to the social.png it can’t find it.
/modules/mod_je_social/images/powered_by.png = works
/modules/mod_je_social/images/social.png = does not work
This is strange. Was wondering if the other social icon module works on your website. https://jextensions.com/social-profile-module-joomla/
That one is working, the other one seem to have issues with the picture. I changed it to a joomla one and that works not sure but it just seem the social.png is not working, don’t know.
Hello is compliments for the module, also add the button Flickr and MySpace.
Thank you and have a nice day
Thanks for the suggestions, will update it soon!
hello!
I have an issue.
Why the module does not appear in the mobile version?
Thanks all
You have published the module on a position that is hidden on mobile view. This is restricted by your template and not by the module.
In your template, in the theme.css file at line 7334, you can find this code:
.uk-visible-large {
display: none !important;
}
This is what hides the module on a smaller screen resolution.
When I hit the icon it still goes to my website, please advise if I need to use # and than URL. Thanks!
You have to use the URL only, and delete the #
Thank you, I will try that – this is my first time to make a website on my own 🙂
Good luck with your website! 🙂
Hi is there a way to add a class to the module?
With the new version now you can add custom class suffix as well.
Hi man, I reallt like your module, but it’d be perfect if you’d add the Spotify Icon.
What do you think about?
Best regards!
Have updated the module and now Spotify, MySpace and Flickr icons are also included.
I installed this module but it’s including my original site url in the pop up link. How can I exclude my site’s url and simply create a pop up window for facebook, twitter and google+?
Thanks.
