Instead of the big green “Share this button” how do I get these smaller icons?

you pick the icons, which ones, size and shape, that you want on the options panel… forum – components – share this

Enabled the facebook twitter icons but nothing shows up.  Only thing I can enable is the green sharethis button.   Facebook and Twitter doesn’t show up?

You only have the one entry in the ‘Share This Buttons’ section? That’s not right. But not sure why that would be. Will need to do some research and probably talk to Mr Papa later in the day who knows this area better than I do.

If you know how to use the browser console could you see if displaying that admin panel generates any scripting errors?

Correct.  Only that 1 green button available.

unable to duplicate…  can you post a screenshot of your sp share this settings?  so I can try with same settings…

also, please provide a link to an example topic with the buttons on it…

Nevermind. it’s working.

 

Is there any way to put the icons only on the forum topics and not the forum header?

 

I like it on the bottom left of the forum post.  But not on the top right of the forum header.

Please see:  https://simple-press.com/documentation/codex/plugins/our-plugins/available-plugins/plugin-share-this/

note that there are multiple template functions for displaying various elements… the one you refer to is on the forum view page (the spForumView.php template file of your sp theme):

sp_ShareThisForumTag(‘tagClass=ShareThisForum spRight’);

so you can just remove it…

as always, we recommend you make a child theme or your own theme before editing rather than editing ours so as to keep from losing changes on updates…
