Hello,
I'm using GameNews 3.9.2 on Joomla 3.1

When I click the 'PRINT' icon in an article:

1. There's a GameNews graphic included at the top
2. The pinterest and tweet buttons are also appearing at the bottom (they are disabled in the configuration)

Screen shots attached.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Craig

The GamesNews logo is easy changed;

Go to your template manager => Options tab => Features slider

Look for "Print logo" and select/save one of your own logos (240px x 48px is the size of the default Game News logo that is currently loading for you - but that size is variable)

As for the social buttons - not sure why they are there if they are not enabled or displayed on your site page? One possible solution: try Firebug or similar, find the CSS class/ID of the social buttons on the print page and add display: none; to your override CSS. Could be a quick easy fix?

Hope that helps.

Thanks Sunshine,
Got the logo changed via the template settings.

The social stuff is perplexing.

1. I've disabled all social settings in the theme.
2. I've disabled the Social GK Module.
3. I'm hiding the gkSocialAPI via CSS.

When I look at the code source, this is the problem code:

Code: Select all
<gavern:social><div id="gkSocialAPI"></gavern:social>
      <gavern:social><fb:like href="http://chnlocal/about-us?tmpl=component&amp;print=1&amp;page=" GK_FB_LIKE_SETTINGS></fb:like></gavern:social>
       <gavern:social><g:plusone GK_GOOGLE_PLUS_SETTINGS callback="http://chnlocal/about-us?tmpl=component&amp;print=1&amp;page="></g:plusone></gavern:social>
        <gavern:social><g:plus action="share" GK_GOOGLE_PLUS_SHARE_SETTINGS href="http://chnlocal/about-us?tmpl=component&amp;print=1&amp;page="></g:plus></gavern:social>
       <gavern:social><a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-text="About Us" data-url=""  gk_tweet_btn_settings>Tweet</a></gavern:social>
      <gavern:social><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://chnlocal/about-us?tmpl=component&amp;print=1&amp;page=&amp;media=&amp;description=About%20Us" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="GK_PINTEREST_SETTINGS"><img border="0" src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/PinExt.png" title="Pin It" /></a></gavern:social>
    <gavern:social></div></gavern:social>


So, any ideas how to remove this without editing the template core files?

Thanks,
Craig

Are you sure you have disabled all of the Gavick Social API settings in the template configuration? Looks to me like they are all template social links and might still be enabled - but I could be wrong....

In any event, the following added to override.css should remove it all. Just make sure you enable Override CSS in the template settings.

#gkSocialAPI {
display: none !important;
}

Hope that works for you.

Hi sunshine,
Yep, already have that in my override.css. It's been working great on my articles. I wonder if print.css is overriding my override.

It's a low priority for this project at the moment, but I'm hoping I can figure it out in the next week.

Thanks for your help,
Craig
