Insert Sharing buttons

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 9

Hello, I’ve been using Newspaper for 1 year and would like to add ‘sharing buttons’ under each of the post. The buttons include ‘twitter/facebook/google/ and view counts’ as you can see an example in this link >>> http://www.traffic-sharing.com/catalog.php?category=12

Actually my friend gave me the code to do so (both java + html + gif pics) but I have no idea where to insert and how to make it happen in the theme. Please see the attachment in the link https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_c16Rb4PUBRcEdqUVhxR3Bac2c/view

Any ideas? I renew the support specifically for this.

Thank you in advanced

Hi,

If you want to insert the sharing buttons in the modules (blocks) there is no option to do that by default. The module files are found in the theme here

Opening one of the module files you can see it’s structure. It may not be an easy task to implement something like this. The modules display only the predefined meta information below the thumbnail, adding those sharing options could break the design or cause problems.
The theme uses the social counter plugin for sharing

And these sharing options for posts

Hello Simion,

Thank you for your answer!
Now that I understand that those sharing options could break the designs,
are there any possible ways for me to at least show the Link ID under each post?

The picture attached may give you a better understanding:: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_c16Rb4PUBRLVJtTGZRYmZzWXc/view

Thank you for your help

Hi,

I cannot view the image you provided, it seems I don’t have permission. If you want to modify the modules that form a block, those are the files where the changes must be made. You will have to edit the module you want and modify it.
Here you can see what modules each block contains

Or you can use the browser inspector to check
