Thank you for that tip. I have cleaned up a bit and got the tooltip to work on all icons now.

The print icon:




The e-mail icon:




And the two social media icons:




Only thing left now is Twitter.

For some reason, I have to enter my Twittername in the settings to be able to show the built-in Twitter link. But this should not be necessary. I am not the one that will be clicking this link all the time :-)

So I need something more general. The cool thing would be if it could pick up how many times the article had been tweeted before, but it is not really necessary.

Ideas?

How about a TweeMeMe hack?

I like the compact version, but would prefer to have all code on my own server so I do not have to wait for anything to load from their server. So the function itself is interesting, but I would prefer to not use an external service for it. Will have to do some more research. If you find anything in the mean time, please let me know.

After looking a little closer at the Twitter code in K2, I realised it is not too bad at all, so I decided to do a little modification and include it with the two other icons. Here is the code I ended up with:




By clicking on the button you get this message:

Reading @twittername Main-article-title tinyurl.com/xyxyxyx

I think this is absolutely acceptable, so for now I think I will let this part stay as it is. Only thing I might do is tweak the icons a little :-)

Only thing you have to remember is to add the twittername you want to use as the main twitter reference in the K2 settings. And don't include the @.

Dan,

Did you look at my final suggestion? I thought I had the alt-tags in there, and using Firebug on a project page, it looks like it is in place. Could you test it, please?

Regards,

Svein

So for a print icon, use something like this (using K2's CSS classes):

.itemToolbar ul li a.itemPrintLink
{
background: url(/images/print-icon.gif) no-repeat center;
text-indent: -9999px;
}

Also with your code, your images don't not have alt tags.

Hi i just noticed your Q (did not been around for some time)
Ok code to replace featured notice with image:



file is category_item.php in template files and this changes featured notice with image you choose in article category listing - if you follow featured article, text notice will be there - template for article display needs to be changed for this (possibly same/similar code)

hope this helps
