Twenty Twenty-One: Social icons

[marco.milone]

twentytwentyone/classes/class-twenty-twenty-one-svg-icons.php

in that beautiful theme
mail is take into account and
and mailto: links are shown with an envelope icon

shouldn't be the same with a
tel: link ? (a phone icon)

IMHO yes

Phone svg added in the social icon array

Hello @marcomilone, and thanks for the suggestion.
We reviewed this ticket during the weekly Accessibility Team's bug-scrub.
We agreed that this is a good idea, but it's only loosely related to accessibility (as the associated icon can increase comprehension for low-literacy populations): as such, I'm removing the focus.

@hilayt24 Could you re-create the patch from the root directory, without the package-lock file?

[hilayt24]

@sabernhardt sure

[hilayt24]

package-lock.json removed

I'm not sure we should automatically replace a visible phone number with an icon in Twenty Twenty-One. I have added phone number links—among other text links—on clients' sites, where I would not want the number changed to an icon only. On the other hand, this change would make the call link visually consistent with (most) other links in the secondary menu location. Ultimately, this might benefit the majority of users who add links in that menu, but I think some other people would not be happy about it.

In Seedlet 1.1.7, that theme added a ​phone icon to the social group, after Twenty Twenty-One became available. With bundled themes, though, we closed requests for new Twenty Twenty icons in favor of creating a filter (see ticket:48713#comment:7). (For what it's worth, I would prefer a phone icon instead of the generic link icon in Twenty Seventeen and Twenty Twenty.)

Regardless of how we decide for this ticket, you could use Twenty Twenty-One's existing filters. The SVG in the example below comes from Seedlet, as others did for Twenty Twenty-One.

	$social_icons_map['phone'] = array(
		'tel:',
	);

	return $social_icons_map;
}
add_filter( 'twenty_twenty_one_social_icons_map', 'wptrac54173_twenty_twenty_one_social_icons_map' );
