Cb Connect with Custom HTML Tutorial was created by Andrew Dunn

Hi
I have used the tutorial that explains how to use custom html field to create social media badges on a profile. I am also attempting to use cb connect for a couple of sites.

What is the best way to setup it so that I can still use cb connect but only display the custom links. i.e. where is the best place to pull the userid of the social media profile from?

Please see the image attached as an example of what I would like to achieve. I would like to show the 'social' field with the badges at the bottom but not the individual profile links whilst also integrating cb connect.

Kind regards

Andrew

Actually I think I have worked it out by studying the links more closely.

The profile links are basically just URLs with the ID substituted in. Example as follows.

Facebook

Code:

https://www.facebook.com/app_scoped_user_id/[fb_userid]

Twitter

Code:

https://twitter.com/intent/user?user_id=[twitter_userid]

Google

Code:

https://plus.google.com/[google_userid]

Code:

https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=[linkedin_userid]

Not all the providers have a profile URL that's usable from ID though. Using IF substitutions you can condition them to show only when the id exists. Example as follows.

Code:

[cb:if fb_userid!=""]https://www.facebook.com/app_scoped_user_id/[fb_userid][/cb:if]
