Hi,

A few months back I bought a template from JoomlArt (Joomla 1.5.22 and K2 2.4.1). I was searching for ways to update the social sharing buttons in Item View (since the ones built in still included Google Buzz), and found out that K2 2.5 had updates for this built in. Well, I updated to 2.5, but my social sharing buttons remain the same. Is this because I'm still in Joomla 1.5?

Sorry, I'm still a little new to K2.

Example is at skne.at/nTohYC
username: temp
password: password01

Thanks for any input!

-Dave

Hi Dave,

It could be that the category is using a template overrides, because K2 will not update the files in your template/html/com_k2/templates/[override folder name] when you upgrade.

Thanks Kannan. This did the trick. But now it looks like the css might be a little screwy. The social buttons are on top of each other rather than spread out horizontally. I tried decreasing the right-margin for all buttons in com_k2/css/k2.css, but it didn't seem to have any effect. Thoughts?

plz deaktivate your compression for Developing mode. Your css file will be cashed and so you dont see the changes.

Can the Social sharing links be switched off in config

I am in China BEHIND the great fire wall and 3 sites using k2 with 30+ category's on each one and having to open EVERY category' and find THREE Social sharing buttons in each one is a PIA

NOT everyone wants Twitter & Facebook buttons, as it just slows the page loading or in my case stops it altogether

:huh:

its becouse of the template or better to say he is overwriting the item.php file
when i remove the item.php file from the Joomlatemplate/html/com_k2/template/default/ when i remove item.php i get the social sharing buttons

But thats not the solution becouse i lose the style...

Alternative Solution to anyone interested

I haven't solved yet.......and i think i am not going to solved but look what i have done.....

1 i left the k2 in latest release that is at that time 2.5.1
2 i didn't do any modification in any of the k2 php files
3 i have disable all social things from k2 options and category policies
4 i download Share This for Joomla module from here " extensions.joomla.org/extensions/social-web/social-bookmarking/8117 "
5 i published in the bottom position (or you might create your own position reading this simple manual )
6 done that's it

In case you are interested this is the same result with the one in k2.....
regards
