Social Links only appearing while logged into Concrete5.7 account?

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I used the Social Links built into Concrete5.7 and got everything set up - it looks great while I am logged in, but viewed from the outside, the icons and links to not appear on my site. All I can find are some remnants of spaces if I highlight where the icons should be.

Just wondering if you have found a solution or an answer to your question.

The same thing is happening to me, and it's driving me crazy!

This is happening to me also - can only see the social link icons when logged in.

Must be a bug. Want to report it? If you post the bug tracker link here and I will post a confirmation.

Cheers

OK, reported it on bug tracker. Hope it catches the developers' eyes.

Can you provide links to sites where the social links are not displaying.

Sure. If you visit:

http://argent.company

you can see in the source that it gets created in the footer, but doesn't show anything.

Another way to fix this is to edit the controller.php file for the social_links block, adding in:
$this->requireAsset('css', 'font-awesome');
to the view function.
(I wouldn't generally suggest to edit a core file, but this would be a temporary fix until an update that resolves the issue, which would likely be exactly this line)

Wow, thanks a million! This worked. Hopefully it will come in a future update.
