A compact set of real profile links. Learn when to use Social Icons, follow a practical setup, and diagnose common problems.

2 min read · Updated 30 September 2026

Practice recipe based on public documentation; the Breakdance extension is not installed here.

What it does and when to use it

Links to social profiles using recognizable icons. Use it for the specific job described below. If a simpler native element can deliver the same outcome, prefer the simpler structure and fewer competing styles.

Before you start

This is a Breakdance catalogue recipe for use with a compatible Breakdance Elements for Oxygen extension. It is not a guarantee of availability in your version. Check the installed element list and official reference before following the steps. Exact control labels can differ; this recipe has not been executed on this site.

Worked example: A compact set of real profile links

Scenario: A compact set of real profile links. The goal is a useful result on a real project, not a claim that this scenario was a completed client project.

  1. Add only active profiles associated with the site.
  2. Give each icon link an accessible name identifying the destination.
  3. Test every link and keep enough spacing for touch use.

Expected result

You should have a compact set of real profile links. Verify the result on the frontend using the same content or object described in the steps. A correct builder preview alone does not establish that links, data or interactions work for visitors.

Troubleshooting

If an icon is ambiguous or unsupported by your audience, include a visible label. Profile links and page-sharing links are different actions.

Checks before publishing

Use real text and assets rather than a perfect placeholder. Check a long label, narrow screen and empty-data state before publishing.

  • Compare desktop and narrow-screen layouts using actual content.
  • Follow every destination and operate interactive controls with a keyboard where applicable.
  • Check an empty or unavailable-data state when the element depends on a provider.

Official reference and version notes

Official Social Icons reference provides the current provider information. This is independent, AI-assisted documentation on Benjamin Olsen’s website; examples are clearly identified as practice recipes.

Check extension element visibility in Oxygen. An element may be hidden where a native equivalent exists.
