Removing count from social tools in K2?

Hi,
I want to remove the bubbles with count numbers from K2 articles. I tried from the template manager but not successful. Anything I'm missing?

Thanks,
Gorast

Hi,
maybe check K2 settings.
and please next time add screen shot whit those bubbles - because I'm not sure if we think about this same topic.

Hi,

I did not find such setting in k2 anywhere.

http://demo.gavick.com/joomla25/news2/i ... k2/k2-item - the one of the right side.

Thanks,

I did new menu item from scratch and now I got this url

Code: Select all

In general all aliases are from Menu manager, so you can control them.
This not a bug etc. this is just how Joomla works.
Check also on K2 forum ( getk2.org/community ) - there you will find many answers about K2.

You missed the topic, dont you :DDD

Upss, yeah you added so many questions.

The first, the FB, Twitt, G+.

As I told you before,
choose K2 category where you don't need them and use hide options.

That will remove the whole social media. I need only the balloons with count removed. I need the buttons there.

Thanks,

So you have to edit this file: gk_news2\html\com_k2\templates\default\item.php
find class named "itemSocialSharing"

you have to change values from this parameters:
1) data-layout=
2) data-size=

Check my file

Got it!

hi,

i tried to change the settings also in my new2 template, but the file you uploaded is different to my file in the same path?!
what do i have to change in my file?

@dennisth19 - but what you want exactly?
also remove nice looking social icons and replace them with old small ones in K2 items, or what?

Hi,
here is the thing. See this links:

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/pl ... ike-button - for Facebook settings. Generate your desired look, copy/paste the code in text file and see what syntax you need to add.

Same for:
https://about.twitter.com/resources/buttons#tweet - twitter
https://developers.google.com/+/web/+1button/ - g+ button

You can understand very fast what you need to do.

Hope this helps,
Gorast

@skullmonkey
Thanks for your tip, but as a non coder i have some problems to modify the layout because it breaks on the content item...

@pawel F
the icons at this time are ok, but i dont want the bubbles, because this shows that the site is new if there is everywhere a "0"
but of course, the looking of the icons could be improofed...
so how can i deactivate the bubbles/counters?

yes, but default if nobody likes your article - all have "0".
You have to edit this same file and replace our code with yours or modify it.

second option, if you are not good in customizing.
Disable Social icons in K2 category setting and use additional social plugin.

what do i have to modify in the code exactly?
as you can see, i have a different file, why even its the same template?

My file is from template for Joomla 3.x and it was in this folder:
templates/gk_news2/html\com_k2\templates\default\item.php
template version downloaded in this month, so file has date 25-03-2014
and yours ?

Please replace your file with mine - for test and you will see difference in K2 item view.
For more customization you have to read developer guides from FB, G+ and T

my path looks a bit different: /public_html/templates/gk_magazine/html/com_k2/templates/default

the file i have is from: 9.2.13! i used the quickinstall from 2 weeks or so!
do i need to update k2 or the whole template?
in the template settings there is no info about new updates...

i switched to the new file, but the bubbles are already there?!

Topic was about News 2 and you are using GK Magazine - do you see difference ?

as you can see the template is named news2 in the backend, but the path is incorrect.
this is an issue with the quickinstall i think?

?

Might be.
But decide about what template you are asking me ? News 2 or Magazine.
Maybe reinstall just template again, not whole quickstart.

i have the new2 template and for this i need a solution about the bubbles

Hmm, but I did my example based on News 2.

I have one advice for you:
If you don't feel comfortable with such a customization, disable or delete our social code from overridden by template file and use alternative social plugin - it will take you 5 minutes not another day.
