Public bug reported:

We have installed newest update from Git Mahara and are trying to get the social Media Links section working.
Unfortunately it does not display all Icons, even it recognizes all icons on Google and could simply pull them actually from Google, but it is not doing it.

In the form where you can enter the links you can not add a custom image
or much easier the image of the Google Favicons which exist for nearly
all websites which have a favicon defined.

just as an example

Those show the links to my social media websites - entered in a Text
block via html and as you can clearly see all - beside "GitHub" not sure
why their favicon did only show up as a globe placeholder when used the
Google Favicon settings, all others are pulled from Google. That is
easy, saves a lot of headaches - especially for newbies and non
programmers - and it saves space which is mostly limited on Mahara
installations to users, so using an already existing online resource is
very advised. A Remark concerning GDPR/DSGVO needs to be placed in the
Privacy statement of course.

For all those who are VERY concerned about Google Mahara offers no
chance to upload a custom I can - or like mentioned above to enter an
already linkable image from an online resource or other existing and
legally accessible webspace.

Besides that - as you can see in teh image - the Links display as text
links in Frontend and in Backeend with Google Link paths and only
favicon which have already been defined and exist on the Mahara
installation display as Icons. It would be appreciated if there would
bean option to enter a custom favicon and also a link filed so you woudl
be able to enter a link to an image which is online available - i.e. the
one of Google Favicon - instead.
