How to replace Social buttons?

Hello
I want to remove the social buttons on the articles and replace it with the addthis social buttons but I can find where to to switch it off the social buttons.

If you are using standard Joomla articles, you should set social icons in category or article settings.

Hello
I gone to Content>Article Manager>Options and I could not find any social icon settings.

Sorry for late response. Could you please post an url to your site, to a particular article where this issue could be seen?

An article with the social plugin is http://unet.eu.pn/index.php?option=com_ ... Itemid=744 , I want to use the addthis social plugin instead.

Please try disabling them by going to template settings -> Social API and disable all the available social elements.

I have disable all the social elements and they still appear on the articles.

Ok, last thing to check - please check if the GK Cache plugin is called before system cache plugin

I honestly don't know how to do that.

You need to go to Extenstions -> Plugins and rearrange those two.

I found System - GK Cache and System - Page Cache, they were both off. I enabled them and put System - GK Cache on 0 Order First and System - Page Cache on 12 Order Last. It still has not remove the social plug in.

Please send me a PM with:
1. URL to your website
2. login and password of user with admin/super-admin privileges (please create one for me)
3. ftp data (host, user, password)
4. link to this thread

I don't feel comfortable sharing my user and password, the only thing I can share is my web site www.unet.eu.pn/ .

It seems like a problem with configuration. You can create a different admin user and password for me. If not, I'm afraid I cant help much .

Ps. Not being able to access ftp server blocks any ways of debugging. Sadly I can't help much further if I cannot see whats going on on your sever (that is why I asked for ftp).

I gave you a superuser, can you enable the ftp trough Global Configuration>Server?

I have no idea what hosting type you have. I guess it would be the best to ask your hosting company support for that. Please write back as soon as you will have working ftp data.

I have sent you a private message with the ftp data. When are you going to reply.

Sorry for late response.
I have checked your site and cannot find place where both - plugin version and template version of social buttons works. Could you please point me to an exact location (url?)

You also have asked why I need ftp data - sometimes if there is a bug, or something cannot be easily disabled by Joomla configuration we edit template files on user's hosting server. Also it is the only way to check if there is no weird cache issues or hosting related ones preventing configuration to work right away.

So, to finalise the issue, please point me to exact url, and if I will not be able to find the cause of the problem, I'll provide your data to one of our dev team members to check it out and provide correct patch if needed.

Also, your data is 100% secure and is deleted as soon as the issue is solved.

Ps, Please provide the url here, not via PM if that is not a problem - this way I'll be able to react faster.

Both the social plug in from the template and addthis are active... the link is http://unet.eu.pn/index.php?option=com_ ... Itemid=744 .

I have forwarded the issue to our devteam. I'll write back as soon as I'll get an answer.

OK.

Are you using any strange Cache system on this installation/server? I was modifying files in unet.eu.pn folder but it doesn't have any impact on the page itself. Or maybe your domain is connected to a different folder on your hosting server?

The only thing I know is that www.unet.eu.pn is a subdomain.

Could you please ask your hosting company for help on figuring out from which folder is this site served (I need exact location on ftp server)?

My hosting company told me that: "The exact location of your site when connecting through FTP is "unet.eu.pn" without a leading or trailing slashes."

I found that the only way to disable build in social icons in your case is to remove this code:

Code: Select all

   <gavern:social><div id="gkSocialAPI"></gavern:social>
      <gavern:social><g:plusone GK_GOOGLE_PLUS_SETTINGS callback="<?php echo $cur_url; ?>"></g:plusone></gavern:social>
      <gavern:social><g:plus action="share" GK_GOOGLE_PLUS_SHARE_SETTINGS href="<?php echo $cur_url; ?>"></g:plus></gavern:social>
      <gavern:social><fb:like href="<?php echo $cur_url; ?>" GK_FB_LIKE_SETTINGS></fb:like></gavern:social>
      <gavern:social><a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-text="<?php echo $this->item->title; ?>" data-url="<?php $cur_url; ?>"  gk_tweet_btn_settings>Tweet</a></gavern:social>
      <gavern:social><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=<?php echo $cur_url; ?>&amp;media=<?php echo $pin_image; ?>&amp;description=<?php echo str_replace(" ", "%20", $this->item->title); ?>" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="GK_PINTEREST_SETTINGS"><img border="0" src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/PinExt.png" title="<?php echo JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_PINIT_TITLE'); ?>" /></a></gavern:social>
    <gavern:social></div></gavern:social>


from this file:
templates/gk_creativity/html/com_content/article/default.php

It should be fine now.

Thank you.
