Let's create a very easy and simple social icons block with Font-Awesome icons in an HTML block with your favorite portal of choice. Probably the quickest way to add social icons to your portal with just a tiny bit of CSS.
Let's add a single line to your theme's index.template file to call the icons from Font-Awesome.
Find:
// Output any remaining HTML headers. (from mods, maybe?)
echo $context['html_headers'];
echo '
Add after:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.2.0/css/all.css" integrity="sha384-hWVjflwFxL6sNzntih27bfxkr27PmbbK/iSvJ+a4+0owXq79v+lsFkW54bOGbiDQ" crossorigin="anonymous" />
Include everything in your block. Replace icons if you wish from Font-Awesome and add URL to your social sites.
