Hey Alex,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

Is it possible to change the size of the 'Bookmark' (powered by AddThis) icons to make them bigger?

Are you referring blog entry page bookmark icon? (refer on my attached first screenshot below)

How do I control which icons 'Bookmark' (powered by AddThis) shows when I have it set to extended style? It seems to show different sharing icons on mobile than on desktop and in one language to another. Where can I control which ones are showing?

Currently we do not have these option to set which social icon do not show on the page yet.
May i know what do you mean "Show different sharing icon on mobile"? Is it possible provide us with some screenshot regarding this? So we can better have a look?

Then is it possible to have a social sharing button in the middle of an article? And if I use the existing sharing icons, can I increase the size of them?

You can change these social button size to large from backend > Easyblog > settings > social integration > refer on my second screenshot below.

Could I position a module in the middle of an article? Say if I wanted to put an advert in the middle of an article, but have it appear at 50% of every article? Is there a position for this?

Unfortunately that was not possible at this point of time.

Hi Arlex

So I will reply twice to this as I will show you screen shots from mobile and desktop.

This is from mobile.

This shows Facebook, WhatsApp, buffer and Twitter. From the English side of the site.

The screenshot you sent me shows Tumblr, Qzone, Sina Weibo, and Tencent Weibo - this is obviously the chinese side of the site.

I will send you some other screenshots with other sharing icons shown.

I will also answer the other queries in a separate message.

Ok now comes the desktop screenshots

Two from English, one showing Facebook, Twitter, Print & Email, the other showing Facebook, Buffer, Twitter and Print

Then the Chinese, screenshot shows Qzone, Sina Weibo, Tencent Weibo and WeChat

So there is different set of icons depending on which language and which platform.

I am hoping that there is a way to select which icons are shown in which scenario, would this be through AddThis?

Ok, so now to the other items

So yes I was referring to the AddThis social icons that you pointed to in your screenshot. Is it possible to have them as large icons? In a world where everyone wants to share things in social media, it seems strange not to make it easy for them to be able to do this, hence the big new bar I have on my site. But I need more Chinese sharing icons to be visible.

I have changed the size of the sharing icons, thank you for showing me how. I was told a while ago that it is possible to have them at the top and bottom of an article, I was given code to move, but I tried this and it didn't make any difference, it does appear that you have updated that particular file though.

This is the original message I received.

For single post page, open the file JOOMLA/components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/blogs/entry/default.php and move the below block of code from line 182 ~ 184 to line after 147.

<?php if ($this->entryParams->get('post_social_buttons', true)) { ?>
<?php echo $this->output('site/blogs/part.socialbuttons', array('post' => $post)); ?>
<?php } ?>

I tired to copy the code and post it after line 147 but it didn't show anything, is there another way of doing it. As this particular code is now on line 188 not 182, has that made a difference? I have done this before on a previous version of Easy blog. What steps do I need to take?

Is having the ability to have an advert or something similar within the blog post, is this something that is in the pipeline to get added in soon?

Thanks

Alex

I've tested around in my locally, it seems like that was not possible to select which icon to show in Easyblog entry page at this point of time. But I noticed you have added `AddThis` script appear on your entry page (screenshot : http://screen.stackideas.com/addthis_button.png ) , I believe this will achieve what your current requirement because you can configure which social share icon appear first.

So yes I was referring to the AddThis social icons that you pointed to in your screenshot. Is it possible to have them as large icons?

Can you check my screenshot here is it you would like make this social icon become large size?

If yes, you can apply my following css into your current template css file.

.eb-help-bookmark .addthis_toolbox.addthis_default_style .at-icon-wrapper {

     width: 50px !important;

     height: 50px !important;

}



svg.at-icon {

     width: 100% !important;

     height: 100% !important;

}

Because you already created override this file in your current template which is /home/admin/hellomk.com/templates/jsn_pixel_pro/html/com_easyblog/blogs/entry/default.php , try edit the file under this file location, it should work.
