Problems with Social Network Buttons was created by John G. Walter
I am in the early stages of upgrading a website.

On my old site, I have K2 version 2.4.1 installed. On the new site, version 2.5.4.

It appears that only facebook, twitter, and google+ are available networks on the new version. I don't particularly have a problem with that, although it would be nice to have Tumblr or Pinterst available.

My problem is that I do not understand how to format the new site to match the old? Additionally, it appears that the Facebook button is not loading correctly on the new site?

Examples:

Old site: johngwalter.com/performances/varan-qrainq





New site: dev1.johngwalter.com/silk-road





Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I can not work out how to do this, I can see no options anywhere..
I did see a section >>>>>'Social button' code<<<<< you can see it in the K2 Parameters......

The code box is empty and i messed about with some code from addthis and it does not do or change anything??


I can not work where the code that produces these buttons is coming from?

<div class="itemSocialSharing clearfix">...... this is where it is on page..we need to find the file..

I have since taken this site live, so the links in the earlier post do no longer work. However, the current site example is:

johngwalter.com/performances/dil-kroch

The div class, as well as the buttons in question are in the k2.css file, line 213 onward.

I can see how the spacing issues can probably be adjusted, but what I was wondering is, what happened to the rest of the buttons that were present in my 'old site' example?

Twitter, Facebook and Google+ are fine, but adding Tumblr, Pinterest, and a couple of others might be nice.

Try this link from the Pinterest website: pinterest.com/about/goodies/

Just add the link into your 'social button code' field in the K2 parameters.

For me, it adds the button to the top of a K2 article, but it's just link. It does not pull the image options for pinning.

I've seen one Joomla extension which may do this, but have not bought it.
