Email this link to a friend for Joomla 2.5

Hi there.

It looks like I have disabled "Email this link to a friend" in all articles, but Google finds this link that was built through your template. I am not sure how to disable this functionality and hope you can help.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,
because Google is sometimes like Sherlock Holmes which buries in history , remember old facts etc.

If now you don't have such a links any more, using Google find them all and use Google Webmaster Tools to remove those URL.

Sure you can also cut them off from code:
1) In: gk_myfolio\html\com_content\article\default.php

2) find :

Code: Select all

<li class="email-icon">
<?php echo JHtml::_('icon.email',  $this->item, $params); ?>
</li>

3) Delete (!)

But Google needs time to forget... that's why delete URL using GWT

Hi Pawel. Thanks for your solution. However, the link is still valid and therefore accessible.

Thanks.

Where? How ? Because link in articles should be hidden, no code = no access.

IMPORTANT: Did you disable "link to friend" in Article manager --> Options ? If not, please change this settings.

Pawel, I am not sure. I have K2 installed as well. Can that be an issue?

Thanks.
