Topic-icon Social buttons not showing in category/section views

Active Subscriptions:

Hi Alex,
I am able to show the Twitter/+1 etc buttons on article view, but am unable to do so in the section or category view.
I have enabled Category and Section view on Configuration > Social (JFB 4.0.2). I have included a screen shot of my settings.

Not sure.. can you send a link to the page that isn't working?

Jordan,
Thanks for the link. We'll have to test with the Section/Category List views. We only test with Section/Category Blog views right now, and that's really all we support (I think, and from what I'm seeing).

The way we display the buttons for a section/category is to show the buttons for each article that's displayed, not just one set for that page itself. So, on the page you linked, there'd be 10 different groups of buttons, 1 group for each article. Is that what you're looking for, and if so, how would you envision those buttons working on that page, actually? All 4 buttons would be awkward 10 times in a row, above, below, or even next to each article title.

Hope that explains, but let us know your thoughts!
Alex

Ah ok.

I envisioned the links appearing in a row like they do on an article, but on the top of a category or section list of articles.
A plugin by Herdboy does this.
Not a huge deal. I could always do a {loadposition} of a module that could do the same thing. Not worth your time

Alright.. I entered a case for us to look into this in the future, but it's low priority, and probably won't be changed for quite a while.

Let us know if you run into anything else, and good luck!
Alex
