customized site author

[zixichen007115]

Thank you for your contribution to this project. I want to add my zhihu link to the 'Site Author' part in _config.yml, sharing the same column with google scholar, Github, and ORCID. Could you please tell me how to add it?

I want to do the same with goodreads and I don't know how to do it. If someone knows, please tell us. I've trying with add it at the "social media" list, under the wikipedia site, but it didn't work :(

okay, i found solution for this;

You will need to upade the _include/author-profile.html file as well

update in author-profile would look something like this-

academicpages.github.io/_includes/author-profile.html

Lines 103 to 105 in 25c30de

	{% if author.vine %}
	<li><a href="https://vine.co/u/{{ author.vine }}"><i class="fab fa-fw fa-vine" aria-hidden="true"></i> Vine</a></li>
	{% endif %}

I did this for monkeytype profile and it is working (though still figuring out the issue with the icon)

      {% if author.monkeytype %}
        <li> 
          <a href = "{{ author.monkeytype }}"> <i class="fa-solid fa-keyboard"></i> monkeytype </a> 
        </li>
      {% endif %}

Thanks for the resouce, but the required icon for my case is not there(monkeytype) which has icon similar to a keyboard.

Hence i tried adding from fontawesome https://fontawesome.com/icons/keyboard?f=classic&s=solid

but it is not reflecting on my website.

Any workaround to have a custom icon ? e.g if we have a svg version of the icon

[abhi-glitchhg]

I havent tried with svg, but ig we could do it that way, add the svg in < img > tag, should work ig...

I'm currently struggling with this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52427089/replace-font-awesome-icon-with-an-svg/65194801#65194801 hopefully it will work out
