martinOV Advanced Member United Kingdom 427 Posts Pre-sales questions only (More Details...)	Posted - 12/03/2016 : 09:05:27 Hi, I'm trying to test the social media buttons in version 6.6.0. They display but stacked on top of each other rather than in the wide grey box. There is an instruction to add <meta property="og:type" content="website" /> but I can see that the product detail page also has <meta property="og:type" content="Product" /> Should only one of these be used? Thanks Martin

Posted - 12/03/2016 : 15:09:50 I am testing a copy of the site on a different domain, the live site is using the old system for showing the buttons. an example of the problem is here: http://ebj.me dot uk/proddetail.php?prod=BCR_SBC-L Thanks Martin
Andy ECT Moderator 95440 Posts	Posted - 12/03/2016 : 16:04:27 It looks like you have added the social media classes at the end of the css file which is just for mobile view. Place that near the top of style.css and it should be ok. Andy Please feel free to review / rate our software

steven vaccaro Ecommerce Template Guru USA 1060 Posts	Posted - 12/08/2016 : 16:20:48 Sinbad, I was commenting on Martins site, all the heights are a bit different. On the eccom demo site they are the same heights and more symmetric.
Sinbad ECT Moderator USA 65937 Posts	Posted - 12/08/2016 : 17:09:48 I see what your saying when the buttons are being grabbed from the social media outlet and all these social media icons are different.

Tinsle Advanced Member United Kingdom 342 Posts	Posted - 12/09/2016 : 12:15:17 Hi all, We have just updated the cart to version 6.6.0 and integrated the social media buttons but facebook,linkedin,twitter are not displaying on our product detail page? Can you please advise why this might be? Our whole site pages are setup as HTTPS so not too sure if this is affecting the display of icons? If so please can you let me know how we can get these displaying? Thanks Kev
Andy ECT Moderator 95440 Posts	Posted - 12/09/2016 : 12:20:12 Hi Kev Have you made the additions to vsadmin/includes.php for the ones you want to appear and where they should appear in the the $socialmediabuttons and $detailpagelayout parameters? https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/help/social-media.asp Andy Please feel free to review / rate our software
Tinsle Advanced Member United Kingdom 342 Posts	Posted - 12/09/2016 : 12:22:35 Hi Andy, Yes i have added the below to the includes.php file: $socialmediabuttons="askaquestion,emailfriend, facebook,linkedin,twitter,google,pinterest,custom"; Also added the below to the productdetail page: <meta property="og:type" content="website" /> <?php print $metaogimage;?> Any ideas? Kev
Andy ECT Moderator 95440 Posts	Posted - 12/09/2016 : 12:29:10 What do you have for $detailpagelayout Andy Please feel free to review / rate our software
Tinsle Advanced Member United Kingdom 342 Posts	Posted - 12/09/2016 : 12:32:03 I dont actually have anything defined for $detailpagelayout on the includes page. Shall i add the below? $detailpagelayout='navigation, checkoutbutton, productimage, productid, manufacturer, sku, productname, discounts, instock, description, listprice, price, quantity, currency, dateadded, options, addtocart, socialmedia, previousnext, reviews';
Tinsle Advanced Member United Kingdom 342 Posts	Posted - 12/09/2016 : 12:39:52 Just tried adding the below but did not make any difference so removed this again? $detailpagelayout='navigation, checkoutbutton, productimage, productid, manufacturer, sku, productname, discounts, instock, description, listprice, price, quantity, currency, dateadded, options, addtocart, socialmedia, previousnext, reviews';
Andy ECT Moderator 95440 Posts	Posted - 12/09/2016 : 12:40:02 I wouldn't add that as it would change the order of elements on your page but looking at your site I see the social media buttons under the previous / next links. If you want them elsewhere on the page you would add this I think $detailpagelayout='navigation, productimage, productid, productname, description, listprice, price, options, addtocart, quantity, socialmedia, previousnext'; ...moving socialmedia to where it should appear on the page.

Tinsle Advanced Member United Kingdom 342 Posts	Posted - 12/09/2016 : 12:46:40 Seems to be throwing the alignment out when i reshuffle the order of the elements but still doesnt make a difference to the missing icons appearing? They seem to be hidden somehow?
Andy ECT Moderator 95440 Posts	Posted - 12/09/2016 : 12:50:32 I can see the icons at the bottom of the detail page. If you can't, use Ctrl + Refresh to force a refresh on the page Andy Please feel free to review / rate our software
