Hallo there.

Is ist possible to have custom icons in the team profile area?

There exists no icon for Xing and no icon for sending a message per Mail (like an envelope icon) How can I add these?

Thanx, Ka

When I then update the theme, the icons are lost again, right?
I have tried placing them in the child theme - with the same folder structure, but that does not work. Do I have to make changes in the functions.php of the child theme?

Cool, it works! 

Thanx, Ka

Thanks, you can close that ticket!

Hi

Would you be able to show me the hidden example please, as I've followed this thread but something's still not working. I'm trying to adjust the shortcode of the team member.

Thanks

No, it was to adjust the maximum number of words permitted (to 250) in the team member description.  I saw from another answer where to adjust the shortcodes.php file for this, no problem there. However, I'm using a child theme, and to adjust the shortcode, I needed to do something like in your answer to user Ka below. I've actually done it now but i'd be interested if you think it's the correct way. I did this:

In my child functions.php file, I added this: 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

require_once(  get_stylesheet_directory() . '/shortcodes.php');

add_action(‘init’, ‘remove_parent_theme_shortcodes’);

function remove_parent_theme_shortcodes() {

remove_shortcode('team_member');

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then I added a child shortcodes.php file, which was this:

add_shortcode( 'team_member_ex', 'shortcode_team_member_ex' );
function shortcode_team_member_ex($atts, $content = null) {

$out = '';

    $out .= '<li class="team-person ' . translate_fx_effect( $atts['fx_effect'] ) . '">';

    if($atts['picture']){
    $out .= '<img src="' . $atts['picture'] . '" alt="" />';
    }

$out .= '<div class="team-profile">';

$out .= '<h5>'.$atts['name'].'</h5>';
$out .= '<p>' . $atts['title'] . '</p>';
$out .= '<p class="about-team">' . substr( $content, 0, 250 ) . '</p>';

    $out .= '<ul class="socials-icons">';
if($atts['social_link1'] && $atts['social_link1_url'] ) {
$out .= '<li><a target="_blank" href="'. $atts['social_link1_url'] .'"><img alt="" src="'.get_template_directory_uri().'/images/social_icons/' . $atts['social_link1'] . '.png"></a></li>';
}
if($atts['social_link2'] && $atts['social_link2_url']) {
$out .= '<li><a target="_blank" href="'. $atts['social_link2_url'] .'"><img alt="" src="'.get_template_directory_uri().'/images/social_icons/' . $atts['social_link2'] . '.png"></a></li>';
}
if($atts['social_link3'] && $atts['social_link3_url']) {
$out .= '<li><a target="_blank" href="'. $atts['social_link3_url'] .'"><img alt="" src="'.get_template_directory_uri().'/images/social_icons/' . $atts['social_link3'] . '.png"></a></li>';
}
    $out .= '</ul>';

    $out .= '</div>'; // div class team profile

$out .= '</li>'; // li team person

return $out;
}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I couldn't get it to work unless I renamed the shortcode to 'team_member_ex', which isn't ideal really - any ideas?

Thanks for your help
