hi,
i did it just as you wrote, and went over and over it, but the buttons do not show up on the site...
Can you help?

So hello guys, let´s do it!

I´ve an other domain to do my tests, and I´ll show how to do in the hard way ok?
I´ve tested and it work so fine, but you will need to make the images for the social media you want ok?

First see that experience is under the:

Wordpress version 3.2
Arras theme Version 1.5.1

Let´s work with 4 files:

default.css             located in ./css/styles/default.css
options.php           located in ./admin/options.php
template.php         located in ./library/template.php
arras-general.php located in ./admin/templates/arras-general.php

First in the default.css locate the line:

.quick-nav #facebook

and add after

.quick-nav #youtube    { background: url(../../images/youtube.png) no-repeat; }
.quick-nav #linkedin    { background: url(../../images/linkedin.png) no-repeat; }
.quick-nav #gplus    { background: url(../../images/googleplus.png) no-repeat; }

So now you have the CSS style !

Then go to options.php           located in ./admin/options.php find the line:

function save_options

add after $this->facebook_profile = (string)$_POST['arras-facebook']; the lines:

        $this->youtube_profile  = (string)$_POST['arras-youtube'];
        $this->linkedin_profile = (string)$_POST['arras-linkedin'];
        $this->gplus_profile    = (string)$_POST['arras-gplus'];

Well, now you have the necessary calls to be saved in the file! But how I put the links? Easy, save the options.php and run away to template.php         located in ./library/template.php and locate the

function arras_social_nav()

After the

        <?php $facebook_profile = arras_get_option('facebook_profile'); ?>
        <?php if ($facebook_profile != '') : ?>
            <li><a id="facebook" title="<?php printf( __( '%s Facebook', 'arras' ), esc_html( get_bloginfo('name'), 1 ) ) ?>" href="<?php echo $facebook_profile ?>" target="_blank"><?php _e('Facebook', 'arras') ?></a></li>
        <?php endif ?>

Insert the code

        <?php $youtube_profile = arras_get_option('youtube_profile'); ?>
        <?php if ($youtube_profile != '') : ?>
            <li><a id="youtube" title="<?php printf( __( '%s Youtube', 'arras' ), esc_html( get_bloginfo('name'), 1 ) ) ?>" href="<?php echo $youtube_profile ?>" target="_blank"><?php _e('Youtube', 'arras') ?></a></li>
        <?php endif ?>        

        <?php $linkedin_profile = arras_get_option('linkedin_profile'); ?>
        <?php if ($linkedin_profile != '') : ?>
            <li><a id="linkedin" title="<?php printf( __( '%s LinkedIn', 'arras' ), esc_html( get_bloginfo('name'), 1 ) ) ?>" href="<?php echo $linkedin_profile ?>" target="_blank"><?php _e('LinkedIn', 'arras') ?></a></li>
        <?php endif ?>        

        <?php $gplus_profile = arras_get_option('gplus_profile'); ?>
        <?php if ($gplus_profile != '') : ?>
            <li><a id="gplus" title="<?php printf( __( '%s Google+', 'arras' ), esc_html( get_bloginfo('name'), 1 ) ) ?>" href="<?php echo $gplus_profile ?>" target="_blank"><?php _e('Google+', 'arras') ?></a></li>
        <?php endif ?>        
        

Well, well, well! if you get here is easy to finish what we started, open the last file arras-general.php located in ./admin/templates/arras-general.php because, it will be lovely to show the questions in the options page right?

locate the code:

<tr valign="top">
<th scope="row"><label for="arras-facebook"><?php _e('Facebook Profile (URL)', 'arras') ?></label></th>
<td>
<?php echo arras_form_input(array('name' => 'arras-facebook', 'id' => 'arras-facebook', 'class' => 'code', 'size' => '65', 'value' => arras_get_option('facebook_profile') )) ?><br />
<?php _e('Link to your Facebook profile.', 'arras') ?>
</td>
</tr>

After you simply add this lines:

<tr valign="top">
<th scope="row"><label for="arras-youtube"><?php _e('YouTube Channel (URL)', 'arras') ?></label></th>
<td>
<?php echo arras_form_input(array('name' => 'arras-youtube', 'id' => 'arras-youtube', 'class' => 'code', 'size' => '65', 'value' => arras_get_option('youtube_profile') )) ?><br />
<?php _e('Link to your Youtube profile.', 'arras') ?>
</td>
</tr>

<tr valign="top">
<th scope="row"><label for="arras-linkedin"><?php _e('Linkedin Profile (URL)', 'arras') ?></label></th>
<td>
<?php echo arras_form_input(array('name' => 'arras-linkedin', 'id' => 'arras-linkedin', 'class' => 'code', 'size' => '65', 'value' => arras_get_option('linkedin_profile') )) ?><br />
<?php _e('Link to your Linkedin profile.', 'arras') ?>
</td>
</tr>

<tr valign="top">
<th scope="row"><label for="arras-gplus"><?php _e('Google+ Profile (URL)', 'arras') ?></label></th>
<td>
<?php echo arras_form_input(array('name' => 'arras-gplus', 'id' => 'arras-gplus', 'class' => 'code', 'size' => '65', 'value' => arras_get_option('gplus_profile') )) ?><br />
<?php _e('Link to your Google+ profile.', 'arras') ?>
</td>
</tr>

Well done! see the results here!

Wordpress version 3.2

I couldn't get this to work.  If someone could take a look at my site and tell me what I did wrong I would really appreciate it.  I can't figure it out for the life of me.

I tried to delete the facebook link and insert the gplus one.

Thanks!!!

Yes I changed all of the files, I deleted the facebook code and added gplus, but its not showing up.  The RSS and Twityter moved to the left to make room for the gplus but it is not acctually there on my site. I uploaded a pic as well.
