Posted 16 years 2 months ago
- I would like to know how to implement Sharethis within the article title....example right next to where the print, email, and pdf buttons.
  
  How would I go about doing this?

- Arifin,
  
  Thanks for the prompt reply. I tried those extensions and they do not give me exactly what I am asking for. My web developers before I switched to rockettheme has somehow found a way to do it. Now I can't figure it out though.
  
  Any thoughts?
  
  Thanks

- What I need is to implement the code from www.sharethis.com into the section on each article where the pdf, print, and email buttons are. Some where in that section. Where can I place the code for this to work?

Hello,

You need to hack the core file if you want to implement this.
Open com_content/article/default.php

<p class="buttonheading">
     <?php if ($this->print) :
          echo JHTML::_('icon.print_screen', $this->article, $this->params, $this->access);
     elseif ($this->params->get('show_pdf_icon') || $this->params->get('show_print_icon') || $this->params->get('show_email_icon')) : ?>
     <img src="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $mainframe->getTemplate(); ?>/images/blank.gif" alt="<?php echo JText::_('attention open in a new window'); ?>" />
     <?php if ($this->params->get('show_pdf_icon')) :
          echo JHTML::_('icon.pdf', $this->article, $this->params, $this->access);
     endif;
     if ($this->params->get('show_print_icon')) :
          echo JHTML::_('icon.print_popup', $this->article, $this->params, $this->access);
     endif;
     if ($this->params->get('show_email_icon')) :
          echo JHTML::_('icon.email', $this->article, $this->params, $this->access);
     endif;
     endif; ?>
         ADD THE SHARETHIS CODE HERE
</p>

Re: Help with Share This

- I am trying to do the same thing with adding Share This. I am using the Nexus template and I do not see the directory, com_content/article/default.php, or the code in this example.
  
  I do see the directory, /httpdocs/components/com_content/views/article/tmpl/default.php but I am not sure where to add the Share This code as it's completely different then the example provided in this post. I tried both the Share This Joomla Plugin and Module and I do not like the way they display. I only want Share This on the actual artice pages as mentioned in this thread. Thank you - Mark
