Needed to extend Innovation Theme plugin with some Dutch Social Networks and remove some others. As a lazy developer as I am I've inserted an array into the plugin and changed the code for dynamical reading.
Code:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Innovation Theme Settings
Description: Settings for the default GetSimple 3.0 Theme: Innovation
Version: 1.1
Author: Chris Cagle
Author URI: http://www.cagintranet.com/
*/
# get correct id for plugin
$thisfile_innov=basename(__FILE__, ".php");
$innovation_file=GSDATAOTHERPATH .'InnovationSettings.xml';
# add in this plugin's language file
i18n_merge($thisfile_innov,'en_US');
# register plugin
register_plugin(
$thisfile_innov, # ID of plugin, should be filename minus php
i18n_r($thisfile_innov.'/INNOVATION_TITLE'), # Title of plugin
'1.1', # Version of plugin
'Chris Cagle', # Author of plugin
'http://www.cagintranet.com/', # Author URL
i18n_r($thisfile_innov.'/INNOVATION_DESC'), # Plugin Description
'theme', # Page type of plugin
'innovation_show' # Function that displays content
);
# change /add / remove your Social Networks here ...
$innovation = Array('facebook','twitter','linkedin','hyves','plaxo');
# get XML data
if (file_exists($innovation_file)) {
$x = getXML($innovation_file);
foreach($innovation as $key => $value) {
$social[$value] = $x->$value;
}
} else {
foreach($innovation as $key => $value) {
$social[$value] = '';
}
}
function innovation_show() {
global $innovation_file, $thisfile_innov, $innovation, $social;
// submitted form
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
foreach($innovation as $key => $value) {
$social[$value] = null;
}
# check to see if the URLs provided are valid
foreach($innovation as $key => $value) {
if ($_POST[$value] != '') {
if (validate_url($_POST[$value])) {
$social[$value] = $_POST[$value];
} else {
$error .= i18n_r($thisfile_innov.'/'.strtoupper($value).'_ERROR').' ';
}
}
}
# if there are no errors, dave data
if (!$error) {
$xml = @new SimpleXMLElement('<item></item>');
foreach($innovation as $key => $value) {
$xml->addChild($value, $social[$value]);
}
if (! $xml->asXML($innovation_file)) {
$error = i18n_r('CHMOD_ERROR');
} else {
$x = getXML($innovation_file);
foreach($innovation as $key => $value) {
$social[$value] = $x->$value;
}
$success = i18n_r('SETTINGS_UPDATED');
}
}
}
i can't seem to figure out why this doesn't work...it should be as simple as the functions.php file getting the values from the xml file and then the template using those values...
I also tried using the regular Innovation Plugin on a different template, and copied the functions.php to the other theme folder and copied the code exactly from the Innovation theme, but it doesn't work there either..
would be great to solve this because it could be the beginnings of a generic theme settings plugin that could be used for other themes...
Please can you tell me how can I add Google+ and YouTube in Innovation theme settings?
What are the steps?
I believe that is a code like:
if ($p->flickr != '' ) define('FLICKR', $p->flickr);
But what other changes?
Like some other codes and of course an icon to display.

If you know enough php it shouldn't be difficult. (Some code should be added at several places in plugins/InnovationPlugin.php and theme/.../functions.php)
But if you don't, the easy way is simply editing sidebar.inc.php (in Theme -> Edit) and using html to add any links you need in the Connect section.

Thank you Oleg. This should be the official theme.
Oleg I tested but somehow the icons get on that tab "CONNECT".
I attached the screenshot.
Is it something extra to do it?
