K2 Category Social Sharing was created by Chas Large
In the Category settings for K2, there are three Social Sharing options, Facebook, Twitter and G+

Given that G+ is soon to be a dead duck, is there any way to change it to something more suitable like LinkedIn ?

If not, is there a simple edit to the code to add a LinkedIn button.

If not are there any plans to add a custom social group facility where users can put in any other social network link?

Thanks
Chas

This has been asked already and yes, G+ will be removed before the end of the year (deprecation is set for Feb 2019 from Google if I recall correctly).

To swap it with a LinkedIn button in the meantime, just modify the overrides and replace the G+ code with the one from LinkedIn (more on MVC overrides here: getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates).

I will probably swap G+ with LinkedIn as it seems the more viable 3rd option, after Facebook and Twitter.
