How can I have a social widget like {JFBCFan} by default on all my articles so i don't have to add this for every article?

For something like the JFBC Fan Module (also known as the Facebook Like Box), there's a few options:
* Many templates have a module position for under the component or article output. If yours has a position like that, configure the SCSocial Wdiget -> Facebook -> Like Box to appear in that spot
* Create a template override for your article view and add the {JFBCLikeBox ..} tag wherever you want it to display

I hope that helps, but if you have any other questions, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

unfortunately I do not have such a module on my template so my only option would be the template override; where can I get more information on HOW to do that?

The documentation on the page below describes how to create a template override:
docs.joomla.org/How_to_override_the_outp...rom_the_Joomla!_core

Basically:
* Copy /components/com_content/views/article/tmpl/default.php to /templates/<YOUR_TEMPLATE>/html/com_content/article/default.php
* Edit the file you just created and add whatever code to it you want, like the {JFBCFan ..} tag. For more information on that tag, see that section on the page below:
www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/docs/social-sharing/easy-tags

I hope that helps,
Alex
