This is a quick template modification that works with the "User Profile Fields" and adds a social network icon for; Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and YouTube. Once Completed you will see this:


This will not work in the postbit. Use this for postbit template: HERE

Step 1: Create your User Profile Fields

Make Custom Profile Fields for each of the four social networks; Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and Youtube.

ACP> User Profile Fields> Add New User Profile Field

Profile Field Type: Single-Line Textbox

Create your profile fields as below. you can leave "default value" blank.



Make one of these for each of the social networks. Once you have created your fields for Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and YouTube.

Continue to Step 2

Step 2: Locate the Correct Field Names

ACP> User Profile Fields> User Profile Field Manager

Take note of your "field name". Below you will find a screen shot; notice I have labeled the field names A - D. for refrence a = twitter; b = facebook; c = google+; d = youtube
