Only a few social icons were supported, I've added Facebook and Youtube and they now show on the website. Please create an issue on the hosted portal repo if you need more.

Another way to add those links could be to simply add them as plain links in /_data/footer.yml. E.g.

- name: Social
    links:
    - text: Facebook
      href: http://example.com
      new_window: true
    - text: Youtube
      href: http://example.com
      new_window: true

Subject: [Hosted-Portals] Add more social media links to the footer
 
Dear all,

The base them has twitter and github as default social media, we try to add facebook and youtube following the  default formula:

twitter_username: sibcolombia
facebook_username: SibColombia
github_username:  SiBColombia
youtube_username: sibcolombia

But it doesn't work, It keeps showing only twitter and github.

How can we add facebook and youtube or any other relevant social media links?


Thank you in advance,
