How do I add icons to the info section, alongside the print, pdf and email icons? I want to add facebook and twitter icons.

Hi ithacaindy,

Those are article options, when you was editing or creating an article in the back-end you would see a Panel name “Article Options”, under this panel there are some fields as Show Icons, Show Print Icon, Show Email Icon…, you can choose to show or hide those options here, you can also go to the menu item setting of those menu items that is referring to the article or referring to the category the article belong to to change the mentioned options.

Right. I understand how to display or hide the print or email icon, but how do I add icons?

Hi ithacaindy,

Do you mean adding your own icons ? if that you can open the file of templatesja_teline_ivhtmlcom_contentarticledefault.php you would see a block of code like this
[PHP]
<?php if ($params->get(‘show_email_icon’)) : ?>
<li class=”email-icon”>
<?php echo JHtml::_(‘icon.email’, $this->item, $params); ?>
</li>
<?php endif; ?>
[/PHP]
with a similar block of code like that you can add your icons there.

I presume since Joomla doesn’t have any configuration for Facebook or Twitter, the only necessary code to alter is this:

[PHP]<li class=”email-icon”>
<?php echo JHtml::_(‘icon.email’, $this->item, $params); ?>
</li>[/PHP]

Hi ithacaindy,

I think Joomla core itself has not configurations for Facebook or Twitter but there are many joomla extensions that can help to insert those social icons into your article content, one is our ja social plugin, you can read more details in here http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/ja-social-plugin-for-joomla-2-5-userguide/
