Hi there, is there an easy way to make this field for google collapsable, or perhaps rearrange the icons in such a way that google is displayed last, so this unsightly gap doesnt appear? (your attach screenshot button below opens the popup inside the same frame as this page and thus, doest work. (not sure if its just me or not, it did work last time i used it)

I'm not sure what's happening with the Attachments on the site. Can you tell me what browser you're using, and we'll gladly investigate further.

As for the G+1 button itself, it looks like there's a slight bug in our code that's not using the top/bottom display for button and count. Instead, it's showing left-to-right in that view, and likely causing the problem you're having. We have an issue in our tracker to fix this for the next release. In the meantime, you can edit the following file:
/components/com_jfbconnect/libraries/provider/google/widget/plusone.php
In there, there are multiple lines that end with things like "data-size", "data-annotation", etc. Remove the "data-" portion from each of those so it looks like:
$tag .= $this->getField('size', null, null, '', 'size');
            $tag .= $this->getField('annotation', null, null, '', 'annotation');
There are 6 total lines to update.

Fixing that should make the button display similarly to the others and, hopefully, fix you right up.

I hope that helps, but if not, just let me know.

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks m8, that's done the trick, incidentally while i have ur attention :P i have another quick question or 2 maybe u can help me with, im having trouble with some overides, it appears as tho some files can be overidden and some not, which makes me wonder is there some sneaky place where overideable files are defined? cuz i noticed (after years of using joomla) the styles config in the template manager has a place where u can generate the overide folders, but i also noticed in here that not all files from the components are listed and wondered if this was related to the apparent restrictions on overides, and having said that, is it possible i could add perhaps a filepath or somehting somewhere that would then allow me to override more than i am alowd to at the moment? also this leads me to ask is it possible to overide the sourcecoast stuff in /media/sourcecoast/ i have found myself in there alot changing styles and such i dont want to have to do it everytime theres an update :(

Thanks for your ongoing assistance, its very much appreciated.
cheers

Glad to hear the G+ fix worked for you. That change will be in our v6.0.3 release, planned for this Friday.

As for the overrides, there are a few things that we allow overrides for if you want to change the output.. but not a lot. Mainly, we do offer some ways to override our CSS directly, especially for creating your own SCLogin theme .

There are a few things that can't be overridden right now for various reasons though. Your question was a little vague as to what you were looking to override though, so I don't have a specific answer I can give now though. If you have something you want to change now, let me know and we'll tell you how.

Thanks,
Alex
