Hello,

I have the AddThis option set to be used for social sharing under the Post Options.
I have set my profile ID in the AddThis tab under Social Integration

I still don't see our AddThis icons as set in our AddThis profile (paid profile)

Ex: https://martialart.zone/fairbairn-protocol-news/the-legend-of-william-ewart-fairbairn-and-the-ghosts-of-achnacarry

Thanks
Danny
I got it to work by hacking the
components/com_easyblog/themes/.../blogs/entry/default.php

From

<?php echo $this->output('site/blogs/part.socialbuttons', array('post' => $post)); ?>

To

<!-- Go to http://www.addthis.com/dashboard to customize your tools -->
<div class="addthis_inline_share_toolbox"></div>


Is this the only way to achieve this ?

Thanks
Danny

Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a public holidays for us here.

Actually that `Addthis` sharing button will only show on top of the blog content area, you can check my attached screenshot below.

And I've checked in your site, it seems like you disabled 'Show Bookmark' option from Easyblog backend, because the bookmark contain `AddThis` and 'ShareThis'.

Hi Arlex,
Ya, I had tried that but our format uses the share at the bottom of the article/blog.
I see now how it works.
Suggestion: Simply setup a conditional check where the share container is build and display AddThis if the admin has requested it ? It's a simply fix. I did it in the previous post for our template (we forced it but you could have it done with a condition based on a simple ON/OFF toggle in the admin interface AddThis or Social integration settings ?
Anyhoot, my version is solved
Thanks for the reply
Danny

Thanks for your suggestion, I will discuss with our team and see if we can implement this in the future version.

By the way, you can override your hack file into your current template file location e.g. JoomlaFolder\templates\YourTemplate\html\com_easyblog\blogs\entry\default.php so you do not need to apply this hack again when you update to next release version.
