Turn off ''share this story''

Hi. How can I turn off ''share this story''? I prefer to use another plugin for social sharing. My site: http://www.islamnet.no

In template configuration, social api frame you can disable social sharing.

In template configuration, social api frame you can disable social sharing.

Or in K2 category settings. Depends what type of content You are using, joomla articles or K2.

Thanx! Actually it worked in K2 from template config as well

Hi

Hi, I'm trying to remove the Share / social icons at the bottom of my articles, but nothing is working. I've read some of your post and tried many things from reading them. Any suggestions?

Also, when I check on a single post, the option to turn off social is not there,

Thanks,
Kharper

Hi

Please check if this option is not in template configuration.

You can always use a css code:

Code: Select all

.item-social-icons {
    display: none;
}


to hide them.

I would like to place the social buttons OR after itemInfo (before image) OR on left before tag list,
instead of the bottom of the article.

I suppose it has to do with item.php but as I am not very familiar with php I kindly ask for your help.

best regards

Hi

Ok. Please tell me the url to the page where You want this change and send me an access to FTP @diasite

Send in private message.
Thanks a lot for your help

Hi

I got the message, but I'm afraid URL to Your site is giving me "Server cannot be found" screen. Please tell me the correct url to location of the article You wish to move the icons form.

Hi

Looks like I will not be able to help with this. I've tried for last couple of days, but access to Your site is always "timed out" and I'm afraid I can work only on Your copy since this element is not a default one.

Hi

Ok. Looks like I've been trying to access site of an author of this thread. I am able to make it with Your site @diasite

I have edited file /html/com_k2/templates/default/item.php and moved code:
