Dear CB Staff,

is it possible to implement a share button in each post in CB Blogs and CB Activity like for example Addthis or similars? At the moment I plugged in but naturally works on joomla articles only.

Thanks

CB Blogs can be used with Joomla or K2 content. This means you can use sharing extensions for either of those to share blogs. For the internal model you'd need to modify the below template file and directly add your code/HTML for sharing.

components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbblogs/templates/default/blog_show.php

Note it's recommended to copy the default template, delete everything in the copy you do not intend to edit (excluding index.html, leave that), select your new template in CB Blogs > Parameters, then adjust the files you have left as needed.

For CB Activity you'll need to modify the template as well. Sharing features for it are planned in a later release.

Sharing features like other existing Open Source Social Network for Joomla would be perfect!

In this case, please, how could I embed this in blog_show.php for example?

<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style ">
<a class="addthis_button_facebook"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_twitter"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_pinterest_pinit"></a>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a>
</div>

Could You suggest if possible?

Thanks

Modify the file and simply add it to its output. Review the file carefully. It's best to not modify the default template as suggested above as you will lose your changes when updating CB. I do not recommend modifying PHP files without an IDE like phpstorm (commercial, recommended) or netbeans (free). You'll probably want it add it after the final div of the $return or inside it I suppose if you want it inside of the blogs container div.
