Is it possible to add other social networks such as LinkedIn or social profiles from say Meetup.com?

Title: Add for the following » Add Meetup.com support

Yup! Not through the user interface though. If you have a look at the code, it should make sense. Patches are welcome to add support for Meetup.com. LinkedIn support is already in there, if I recall correctly.

It was a request, because I am not a php programmer...

Can anyone help out with this?

Hello SoCalCreations,

If you make the Meetup.com follow icons, I can help you.

large:
height 37, width 36

small:
height 26, width 25

Good thing to remember, PHP is just text. And much of "programming" is recognizing text patterns and modifying. Anyway, just saying so to help encourage you to look under the hood.

But glad to help out!

Those icons would work for me, what did you have in mind to do Heather?

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks ROB, your patch file made it simple for me to understand the files and update the files.

Since I don't use or know how to use the patch system (I just edit the files based on what I read in the patch file), could you also add in the following for PLAXO?

follow.module: 'plaxo' => t('Plaxo'),
follow.css: a.follow-link-meetup {
background-image: url(icons/small/icon-plaxo.png);
}

What would be very helpful is the SQL command to update after the files have been updated as I had to turn off the module, then uninstall it. Upload the new files and place back in my contact links. Not an issue for me as I am the only user on my site, but a big deal for anyone else using this application.

Attached are the Plaxo images

HOWEVER this is not quite right yet on the patch, because the images for Plaxo and Meetup don't show up in the Follow block.

PRIOR TO THIS PATCH and even after the patch, I ran in to an issue where the Follow module seems to not pay attention to the "Page specific visibility settings".

I have tried it as
1) Show on every page except the listed pages.
RESULT only shows on user profile page

2) Show on only the listed pages.
RESULT does not show on any of the pages or nodes specified either by friendly URL's or /node/#

It is currently set to show on EVERY PAGE, however it is NOT on my home page => http://www.williamburdine.com/

I thought it might be a permissions issue, but there aren't permission options to show or use the module and I don't know if that is by design or a bug.

It only appears on my profile page, see attachment

My preferred method here is to add ability for custom networks, so I'm marking this as duplicate of #640084: Custom networks.
