    Social bookmark location

    Which template would I have to modify to relocate the social bookmark icons in vbseo for vb 3.8?

    I know it's part of postbit_legacy but have no clue how to go about moving it? or even adding an image or text next to the icons that says something like "Share this post".

    For now, I'd like to just add a little graphic that says "Share this post" to the left of the icons.

    You can manually paste in a template edit in postibit legacy to display the icons exactly where you want them.

    <!--VBSEO_BOOKMARKS-->

    So, you could do something like
    Code:
    <a href="sharer">click</a> <!--VBSEO_BOOKMARKS-->

    I want to do a similar thing, but I am completely lost. What should I look for in postbit legacy in order to locate vbseo social bookmarks?

    I just want to add something next to it.

    Thank you

    There is nothing there by default. Without the comment, it does a replace on an html element. If you want to add something next to it, you will need to pysically place the comment code, or just trial and error your placement.

    Hello all. I'm using vB4.1.

    I like how toon does it here:
    http://www.estetica-design-forum.com...tml#post265582

    Can someone tell me if there's a way to compress the icons together tight? My default icons have almost nearly double the gap shown in that link.

    Another question. If you continue to add additional bookmarker icons to it, will it just run into the post "space" and continue?

    3.6 is coming with a new share method (as seen here on this site) via hover.

    If you want to change the layout now, its all css- based, so you need to remove margins/padding to get them closer together.
