Social Networking Sidebar

[meljen]

I did submit a post on your website Anne, but I think it might be better here for everyone visiting these forums. :-)

Anyway like I said there, I have installed the addon and it is really lovely. I've even added my own buttons & links.

I can NOT get two of the buttons to hide though. I have edited the CSS file in this directory:

/includes/templates/(mytemplate)/css/stylesheet_social_sidebar.css

I used the .facebook{display:none;} string you mention in your readme file so that I could remove the youtube & google plus icons.

I tried this:

.youtube-sh{display:none;}
.google-sh{display:none;}

I also tried it without the '-sh'. I added these on their own lines at the very bottom of the CSS file, a line under all of the other code.

Am I doing something wrong? The buttons still show.

I am sorry about that! I will add these classes in the next package update. For now, if you want to remove the icons you can remove the code directly from the includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_main_page.php file.

So for youtube, remove this:

<a href='<?php echo YOUTUBE; ?>' target='_blank' title='<?php echo YOUTUBE_TITLE; ?>'><img src='<?php echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.YOUTUBE_ICON ?>' class='soico' alt='<?php echo YOUTUBE_ALT; ?>' /></a>

You can shorten the bar by adjusting the stylesheet_social_sidebar.css


Thanks,

I installed this mod and it looks great but when I edited includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/social_sidebar_defines.php
links, facebook,twitter & youtube takes me to a page not found on my site.
Any ideas on what I need to do to fix this?

It looks like you have some sort of conflict in some old template file that is overriding the current social_sidebar_defines.php. If you have installed anything by bling themes I would recommend removing the unused files in extra_definitions used by any bling theme.

I have never installed a bling theme. I only have zen cart zen template installed. Any ideas?

That's really weird because when I hover on your facebook icon it is pointing to /blingthemes. Maybe it is in your zen cart zen template?

Try just adding your urls to the includes/templates/your template/common/tpl_main_page.php file

You can also do a developers toolkit search for the constant FACEBOOK to find out what files it is in and where the blingthemes is coming from.

Thanks,
