Replace Twitter with X

Font awesome has also incorporated the X logo : https://fontawesome.com/search?q=twitter&o=r

I've replaced the name of the Platform plugin to X, added a description, icon name (used to add a class that is then used by fontawesome).
I've updated the version of the external fontawesome library.

So I didn't change the class name nor the url as they are still using the twitter.com url.

Hi all,

Patch #3 working as expected, verified changes and shared attachment for reference.

RTBC +1.

Regards!

any objection to changing the urlPrefix to x.com?

#3 works fine -- thanks!

With regards to setting the urlPrefix to https://x.com instead of https://www.twitter.com/ -- I believe this would prevent users from re-saving existing URLs (they would have to update the links from x.com to twitter.com upon saving the form), which may be annoying.

Also x.com currently redirects to twitter.com so people may have a hard time generating URLs with x.com.

An alternative is to create a new, distinct social network X on top of Twitter so end users would be able to choose whether they want their link to be rendered with the bird icon or with an X. The domain constraint would match the network they pick.

#3 working as expected.

I applied patch #7 and it works as expected.

Any idea when this will be added to a stable release?

Automatically closed - issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.

How is a patch considered "fixed"? Is that common in module maintenance?

The patch indeed works, but "X" does not have a "www" in the URL.

Not correcting this results in a 301 error on every page that the block is used.

I think it should be stated, that this has a dependency on the Font Awesome module running the FA 6 library. If you are running the FA 5 library and update to the latest version of this module (8.x-2.10) which includes this fix, your twitter icons will disappear.
Yes - this might highlight that you are perhaps behind with the maintenance of the front-end of your Drupal website;) but ignoring that fact, it does break.
