I can see that they uploaded fine to templates/postnote/images/social but they don't show up in a K2 entry in the k2ItemColumn div - just the text links. What am I not doing that needs to be done? Or what am I missing? You can see it here. I'm perplexed!

Sure here is a page where you can see what I'm talking about. You will notice that none of the graphics for the k2ItemTools show up at all.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate all the help I can get!

Hi

There is no css file which is placing it or is not loaded. Please try to search the files where is a class for i.e. "itemTextResizerTitle" and add this file manualy.

Thank you for your reply but I'm a little confused about what I should do. Is there a specific file I need to look within to find the section called "itemTextResizerTitle" and what do I need to enter manually - the names of the K2 articles individually?

I apologize for my confusion, I am new to this template and am still trying to find my way around.

Ok. In my version of Postnote I have the classes for icons at file k2.css, but I cannot see it at Yours. This could be form the changes.

Thank you for that - it was helpful in that the font re-sizer icons now show up, however, the social link icons still do not. I checked also in the components/com_k2/k2.css file and the only difference was that there was a single quote around the file path for the various social icons as opposed to the double quotes around the one you provided. I changed that file to make them uniform and they still do not show up.

When I look with Firebug, I can hover my cursor over the file path and see that it is indeed there on the server but still, they don't show up. Any ideas? I am completely stumped!

Hi

Please go to http://thesecretmystery.nwolibrary.com/ ... style1.css

and in class:

Code: Select all
.k2itemColumn a {
background:none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
color:#444444 !important;
}


remove the line with background.

There they are!! :cheer: Thank you so much for that - it made my whole day!

How would I go about making the tools show up on the top (author name, date, font re-sizer, print, email) and bottom (additional info, tweet this, social sharing icons, category) like K2 normally does?

As it is currently set up, the column takes up space where I would rather have the article be. I can see these things in the css but clearly I don't know enough about manipulating it to not mess it up :laugh:

Thoose questions deals with customization so I cannot help, but I can advice to install Firebug (Firefox plugin) with which You can see the changes live so You can test it without worrying of destroing something.
