G+ Social Icon Won't Go Away

Using FinBus v 2.3. At the bottom-left of all of my articles is the G+ button. It's wrapped in the div#gkSocialAPI. In the template manager, I've turned off all Soc. API's, but this one remains.

Please advise if this is a bug or some other possible problem. I don't want to hide it with CSS, but remove it entirely.

Thanks

This seems like a bug in template as it has google plus one button but has no switch nor settings in template settings.

If you only want to disable google plus one button follow below , beware as this only hides the button and not the block which you will have a empty space below articles. If you want to get rid of the space follow second hack.

Find File: templatesgk_finance_businesslibgk.framework.php
Find Lines: 728 and 729 which is below

Code: Select all

        // G+
       if($this->getParam('google_plus', '1') == 1 && !$is_excluded && !$this->browser->get('mobile')) {


Change it to below

Code: Select all

        // G+
       if($this->getParam('google_plus', '0') == 1 && !$is_excluded && !$this->browser->get('mobile')) {


If you want to get rid of the empty space.

Find File: templatesgk_finance_businesshtmlcom_contentarticledefault.php
Find Lines: 202 to 213 which is below

Code: Select all

   <?php echo $this->item->event->afterDisplayContent; ?>
   
    <gavern:social><div id="gkSocialAPI"></gavern:social>

   <gavern:social><div class="clr"></div></div></gavern:social>
</div>


Simpy delete gavern:social so it looks like below

Code: Select all

   <?php echo $this->item->event->afterDisplayContent; ?>
</div>


Thanks

No problem at all..
