Social links on mobile layout

    Hi Anders,

    I’ve used your excellent themes in the past but this is my first time using an FSE theme.

    Would I be correct to say that the mobile sidebar is just the navigation block from the desktop sidebar and that it can’t otherwise be populated (I’m lacking a template for the mobile sidebar)?

    One thing I’m missing from the mobile version is a social links menu – is there an easy way to implement this with this theme?

    When editing the theme, look for the Header Mobile template part: https://www.ads-software.com/documentation/article/template-editor/

    Click that menu icon at the right to expand the Navigation Block and begin filling it with whatever you’d like, specifically in this case, a Social Icons block. ??

    Thanks James. Funnily, enough that’s what I’d already done.

    My assumption here is that unless it shows as a template part, there isn’t a mobile sidebar to edit, so doing this was probably my best alternative.

    Yep, that’s correct. The theme doesn’t have a separate mobile sidebar template, but it does have the Header Mobile template and you’re limited to what fits in that menu portion.

    For my needs it didn’t seem too limiting, I’ve got a Navigation block, Search block, and Social Links block in there.

    The template as-is should have the Navigation Block already in place, then it’s just adding blocks below or above that.

    Looking at your site on mobile, James, you’re doing what I’m trying to – when I view the mobile menu it has the social links in with that, rather than appearing in the header. How did you do that?

    TBH, I don’t remember exactly how I got it like that, I was still flailing about FSE and learning as I went, a lot of trial and error, but maybe this screenshot will help? https://d.pr/i/F2sWlD

    You are a star Mr Huff – that screenshot really helped and I’ve worked out to recreate this.

    If you don’t add a menu, it just uses the default one that you used in the desktop sidebar. I’ve added that, along with social links and search, and it works great.

    Ah excellent, and thanks for saying what you did, now I remember! ??
