Rich,
With the 4.0 release, and the social buttons, we actually included a CSS file for the social button, in the /components/com_jfbconnect/assets/jfbconnect.css. The social buttons themselves are wrapped in a div with a class "scsocial". Then, each button actually has it's own div with a class. I just tried to play a little with some styling, and the below seemed to get it to work well (with the box count, wouldn't recommend trying the standard layout).
In that file, add the following:
div.scsocialbuttons .sc_lishare, div.scsocialbuttons .sc_twittershare, div.scsocialbuttons .sc_gplusone, div.scsocialbuttons .jfbclike {
clear:left;
}
Then, unfortunately, one other change is required to JFBConnect.. in the /plugins/content/jfbccontent.php file, around line 260, you'll see:
$buttonText .= '</div><div style="clear:both"></div>';
Change that to:
This removes the clear styling after the buttons, which forces the article into the next line.
I've added a note to our tracker to look into adding the sidebar display as an option in future releases. Definitely like the idea, and always love the feedback!
Let us know how the above goes.. I'm sure the styling above may cause other unforeseen issues, so we'll see.
