Linking social media pages and online store to forum

[ek115]

Hello Forumotion, I'm new to the site and I will be starting an online business here in the coming weeks and I'm creating a forum as well as a blog to help connect with my customers. I already have the website nearly finished and a few social media pages made I was wondering how do I link my social media accounts, particularly tumblr, facebook, instagram, and my online store to or from my forum.

Hello,

That depends on what you mean by link. You can 'link' google+ and twitter simply by putting the url to the account in ACP (admin panel)-->Modules-->Social Media-->Click the social media you want to link.

For the other stuff, you can either create a footer link (also in modules section of acp), or if you are using the default/text based navigation bar you can add it to the actual navigation bar as well. That will only work if you use a text based navigation bar (like the one on this site).

Those 2 would be the easiest way to link your social media and store to your site. You could also put a link in your signature of your posts on your forum as well.

You also can create a Facebook app and activate Facebook Connect.  It allows your members to register with their Facebook accounts.
