Newbie here. Can you tell me how to add the twitter and linked in buttons to my home page. I was able to do FB like and send via your modules, but I did see anything for twitter, google and linked in. Thanks.

No worries about being new to our stuff... there's a lot to learn, and thats what we're here for!

Unfortunately we don't have a module for those extra buttons so that you can put them anywhere like we do with the JFBCLike button. However, we do have easy-tags that you can do for those buttons. To do so, you can create a Custom HTML modeule (it comes with Joomla) and put the following text in it:

{JFBCLike}{SCTwitterShare}{SCGooglePlusOne}{JLinkedShare}

For more information on the tags, and other options you can use with them, see our Easy Tag Configuration Guide .

Hope that helps, and good luck!
Alex

Great, thanks for the quick reply. Two questions that go along with it: 1. How do I arrange the buttons to show horizontal? (module size has already been increased to compensate) They are presently stacked vertically. 2. What's the issue with google plus one button and FF? It does not show in FF.

Very sorry for the delay in getting back to this! For showing the buttons horizontal, there's a few ways to do it. Either create a separate custom module for each button, or add the following CSS to your template:

.sc_twittershare, .jlinkedShare, .jfbclike, .sc_gplusone { float:left; }

The problem with that is that it will affect all buttons. You may need to use a more specific CSS selector for that page to make sure it only affects the specific instances of the buttons you want.

As for the G+1 button in Firefox, I'm not aware of any issues with it not displaying. Can you let me know if it shows on our blog for you in Firefox and, if not, let us know what version of Firefox you're using.

Thanks,
Alex
