How to move the Social Bookmarking Icons to the right of post date in postbit_legacy template?

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to move the Social Bookmarking Icons to the right of post date? Please see attached image.

I have tried to use the <!--VBSEO_BOOKMARKS--> code in postbit_legacy and postbit template but it won't work. Need help on this one.

Thanks guys.

I'm looking to do exactly this myself. We had social bookmarking enable for a time however we found our users weren't using it because the icons are hidden in the dropdown menu.

There's a sticky in the Member Article's forum for social bookmarking sites.

Brian,

Thanks, I had missed that thread. I've added a few new bookmarking links and fixed my broken reddit icon link. However, I didn't find anywhere in that thread that talked about placing the bookmarking icons. I'm looking to do something more along the lines of what virtualassistantinc showed in his example – display the icons inline, (i.e. in a horizontal list, from left to right), to the left of the like button – instead of hiding them in a dropdown menu. The menu works fine on light templates like vbseo.com, but on darker templates like the one we use on our site, the background of the dropdown appears as the same colour as the postbit background, and the bookmarking buttons and icons tend to get lost.

I have a pretty good grasp of css/xhtml – what files do I need to edit in order to accomplish this?

As of 3.6, the placement is via the hover along side the likes and that method no longer works.

So there's no way to display them inline then? What about changing the background colour of the dropdown menu to make it different from postbit bg?

All vbseo items are fully CSS'ed.

you can edit:

.vbseo_share_body

to change style

Thanks Brian. I managed to figure it out

Found the css template and replaced the stylevar property for the likes_share background colour with a hex value. I realize it's kind of tricky to make a default catch-all background colour variable work for all templates, but had you considered using a stylevar outside of postbit for setting the background colour to guarantee greater contrast? Or perhaps assigning an outline to the container? Maybe in a future version?

We release only for the default vb template. Anything else may require customizations to match any custom style.
