We introduced the social media buttons in Version 6.6 and the set up details were added here https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/help/social-media.asp

Gary from ITZAP - https://itzap.com.au - has very kindly sent us on more information to add regarding Open graph meta tags, which we have added here

https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/help/social-media.asp#opengraph

This is just a small part of all the information he provided - the set up is pretty straightforward but feel free to ask any questions.

This tip is true for any of the store buttons really but here's how to add icons to the Ask A Question / Email A Friend button using FontAwesome so they match the other social media buttons with their logo icons

Add this to your proddetail.asp / .php <HEAD> section (You can add it to other pages if you are going to use icons on other buttons)

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">

Add font-family:FontAwesome, sans-serif; to the input.askaquestion / input.emailfriend class in your main css file eg

input.askaquestion, input.emailfriend{
background:#2868B2;
color:#fff;
height:21px;
border:0;
border-radius:4px;
font-size:12px;
cursor:pointer;
margin-top:8px;
font-family:FontAwesome, sans-serif;
}

In proddetail.php, just before

<?php include "vsadmin/inc/incproddetail.php" ?>

add

<?php
$xxAskQue="#xf27a;   Ask A Question";
$xxEmFrnd="#xf0e0;   Email A Friend";
?>

or for the ASP version

In proddetail.asp, just before

<!--#include file="vsadmin/inc/incproddetail.asp"-->

add

<%
xxAskQue="#xf27a;   Ask A Question"
xxEmFrnd="#xf0e0;   Email A Friend"
%>

You can see an example on our demo store here http://www.ectdemostore.com/blue-jeans-straight.asp

All the FontAwesome icons are listed here http://fontawesome.io/cheatsheet/

Hi Andy,

I followed the above and this is what I get:

Any clue what I did wrong?

I figured it out.

You left off the & sign in front of the Font Awesome tag.

Should read like this:

<?php
$xxAskQue="&#xf27a; Ask A Question";
$xxEmFrnd="&#xf0e0; Email A Friend";
?>

Like that FontAwesome icon trick

If you simply enter this in your includes.php config file ...

$xxAskQue='&#xf059; Ask a Question';
$xxEmFrnd='&#xf27a; Recommend to a Friend';


In that case, when you click the "Ask A Question" button, notice the Heading in the Pop-Up Window has an [X] where the Icon should be. So just add something like this to your CSS ...

td.cobhl.emfhl {
font-family: 'FontAwesome', 'Roboto', sans-serif;
box-sizing: border-box;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 105%;
color: #ffffff;
background-color: #003366;
padding: 0;
}

Or whatever other Font and Hex Color Scheme suits your website.
Now the specified FontAwesome Icon also appears in the Pop-Up Window.

Works great Gary, but we still need the & symbol for it to work.

$xxAskQue='&#xf059; Ask a Question';
$xxEmFrnd='&#xf27a; Recommend to a Friend';

Goodaye Patrick,
Yes you are right, we need the ampersand up front in that Unicode to get the FontAwesome Icon to appear. I actually did type that in. But when you click "Post", this forum editor strips out the ampersand symbol. And I bet that happened to Andy also.

Finally discovered that you need to type the HTML Character Code for the Ampersand & a m p ; (without spaces) to make it print here, which is what I guess you did.

My post above edited accordingly.

Gary
