Social Bookmarks

Comments gives you the ability to display, in a module, social bookmark for Joomla articles and other supported content (like JXtended Magazine articles).

Please Note: You generally do not need to add this module.  It is included by the Content - Comments plugin.  Most adjustments can be made in this plugin.  If you need to add this module by hand, add a new module.  Select Comments - Share from the list of modules.

• Icon Style - The bookmarks can be displayed as icons, text or both.
  
• Share Heading - This setting gives you a number of options to display the sharing heading.

Advanded Options

• Cache - Optionally select whether to cache the output of this module.
• Cache Time - The time, in minutes, before the module output is refreshed.

Customization

This page may be customized using the Joomla layout override system.  You need to be able to create new files and edit them on your web hosting site using FTP or other tools that are available to you (contact your web host if you need more information).

All file paths are relative to the directory in which Joomla is installed.  When looking a files you need to create, it is assumed that you will create the necessary folders if they don't already exist in each case.  The directory default_template refers to the template that is set as the default for your site.  Please replace this name with the actual name of the template directory.

To create the layout override for this page, find the file:

/modules/mod_comments_share/tmpl/default.php

Copy this to:

/templates/default_template/html/mod_comments_share/default.php

Make the desired adjustments to the source code to the new file you created and then save it.  Your changes should be reflected when you refresh the appropriate page.
