Social Media Links Changelog

Fixed2

• Prevented unintended modification of custom icon class strings when *_icon is defined.
• Ensured consistent behavior between module parameters and template rendering when icons are disabled.

Changed5

• Icon resolution logic simplified and made deterministic:
• Per-network *_icon parameter now has absolute priority and is used *as-is*, regardless of Font Awesome settings or availability.
• When *_icon is empty and Font Awesome is enabled, the module falls back to the default Font Awesome icon for the network.
• When *_icon is empty and Font Awesome is disabled, the module renders plain text labels with no icon.
• Removed implicit Font Awesome class normalization (fa, fab, fas) from custom icon overrides to respect user-provided values strictly.

Added1

• CHANGELOG.md file (this document), including the full history of changes introduced during the Joomla 5.4 refactor and subsequent updates.

Added3

• Per-network Font Awesome icon override field: lets you replace the default icon class for each social network when Font Awesome rendering is enabled.
• If empty, the default icon is used.
• Accepts fa-... or short name (e.g. telegram → fa-telegram).

Changed1
