Missing Facebook Share in K2 elements

geirre

Hi.

As the title says, I have problems with the Facebook's Share button not showing in K2 based articles. The button are present and working well in std. Joomla articles. Exactly the same case are found in the 'old forum', but the solution are not presented.

I hope someone could help me with a solution on this issue

Best regards, Geirr.

Hello,

Could you please update this thread fields with your site back-end access (user, password) and FTP (host, user, password). These fields are visible for moderators only.

Then we'll be able to check the issue.

geirre Hi. Can You please tell me the url to an example of article with this problem? I'm trying, but looks like any article I check has a working Facebook button.

Hi.

Yes, the 'Like'-button is present, but as I wrote, it's the 'Share'-button which are missing in K2 elements.

An K2 element:

An Joomla std. element:
https://vvil.no/index.php/div/test-pa-std-joomla-artikkler

As you see in joomla std. element, the share-button is present. The word 'Del' is the norwegian way of saying 'Share'.

Hi Geirr,

Please make a full backup of your website and update News2 template first (to latest 3.22 version).

Hi.

Sorry for the delay, but I've been 'out of business' for a few days.

Now the site are updated with the latest template version, 3.22

Hi,

It should be fine now.
I've edited your /gk_news2/html/com_k2/templates/default/item.php file and changed

<div class="fb-like" data-width="200" data-layout="button_count" data-action="like" data-show-faces="false" data-share="false"></div>

into:

<div class="fb-like" data-width="200" data-layout="box_count" data-action="like" data-show-faces="false" data-share="true"></div>

Cheers

Hi Joshua.

This seems to work absolutely perfect! And also thank you for specifying changes.
Btw, the update of template to v3.22 also fixed an another issue I had with the logon (I believe in the gklogin module, - re-direction to user info after login where missing/corrupted on my site).

Thanks for the help and service!

Best regards,
Geirr.

Hi Geirr,

Great to hear all issues are solved.
Please remember about this modification after future template updates.
I'll mark this thread as resolved.

Cheers
