Multiple Share This Buttons in Group View

Hey Jim,

Are we talking about mobile specifically here? I know some of the issues affect both but notice that the screenshots you’ve attached are mobile= – I’ll go through them in the same order:

1. This one is a little confusing, I’ve checked my local spGroupViewMobile.php which only contains one ShareThis button in the header, and have also checked v.1.0.1 which also only has one. Not sure how you have one in each group and one in the header – This was behaviour seen in spGroupViewDesktop.php in version 1.0.1 but has been fixed for 1.0.2.

2. There is a ticket open for this and it will be fixed for 1.0.2

3 & 4. I’ve got to be honest, that doesn’t look like our Share button and I don’t think we have a floating one – There’s definitely no option for it in the plugin settings and no reference to anything like that in the templates – Maybe Steve or Andy could just confirm that as I didn’t write the plugin. Any chance you could inspect it and find out what it’s called?

5. Well spotted 🙂 I’m not sure how these slipped through but somehow did.. Reboot was built from Unified so naturally began with the same templates. It shouldn’t matter as I’m pretty sure the template titles at the top there are purely for reference. I’ll make sure they are cleaned up regardless so thanks for pointing that out!

The PM templates don’t reference any theme as technically they are plugin templates, but due to the way Reboot utilises CSS3 it was necessary to include them.

Also, it looks like the child theme framework has already been updated to read ‘reboot’. It’s not tied in with Reboot releases so I’m guessing it has been done quickly to try and reduce the amount of problems.

Also no need to apologise, the more we know that is at fault the quicker we can bring it up to standard, which is of course the aim! A couple of issues brought to us in other threads have existed for over half a year without any of us noticing, but there’s only so much you can test between three of us. Getting feedback from the community is vital!

Yes. I have the same Reboot child theme activated for all devices now. But I’m specifically referring to Mobile view.

1. This one is a little confusing…

Sure is, I only noticed and reported it after disabling my child/mobile/spGroupViewMobile.php template which includes no Share This tags. I have no edited spHead in my child.

2. There is a ticket open for this and it will be fixed for 1.0.2

Great!

3 & 4. I’ve got to be honest, that doesn’t look like our Share button and I don’t think we have a floating one…

Just to be clear, I’m referring to the round grey Share This button partially hidden behind my round yellow #top link with the orange arrow. Unfortunately, neither are loading in the Chrome mobile emulation and it doesn’t appear in Desktop view so I can’t inspect it. Screen shot of the floating button before it gets hidden by my #top button is at the bottom of this post. (My button loads only after scrolling down600px.)

5. …Reboot was built from Unified so naturally began with the same templates.

I figured that much. An honest mistake, we’ll forgive you. wink

Thought so. Thanks for confirming!

Also, it looks like the child theme framework has already been updated to read ‘reboot’.

I’ll need to rename my /Reboot directory to /reboot then, and update my child theme. Guess I made the wrong edit to make it work, but chances were 50/50. Thanks for letting me know!

For sure. Happy to help any way I can!

I will leave most of this for Ike to address but I will weigh in on the round, grey ‘share this’ button and echo his comment that this doesn’t appear to be ours. Unless you changed all the graphics we don’t supply any round ones and from the rest of the shots you use the rectangular green standard button by default.

I am having trouble working out quite where it is in the display as well. Had a look at the site this morning (the test server you linked us to) and don’t see them.

perhaps you are using another share this plugin for wp? and its adding its own thing to the forum too?

My bad. I must’ve got confused, this is occurring on our live site, or it was…

I realized it may have been the Shareaholic plugin showing the floating button. But that was not the case. I confirmed it only appeared on the Forums page. I then confirmed that it went away after deactivating the SP Share This plugin. But upon reactivation it is now still gone. Perhaps a remnant from a previous version. Who knows…I’m blaming this one on the Gremlins.

Glad to hear, it was a bit of an odd one. Possibly some kind of cache thing? Either way gone so doesn’t matter..

but all resolved now?

So far so good, at least regarding the mysterious floating social share button. @ike is addressing other issues in this topic.

Thanks for asking!
