PDF, Email, Print Icons not working - SOLVED! was created by randyfarnsworth

If I create a new article outside of flexicontent (just using the article manager), the article will show the print/email/pdf icons in the proper location based on my css file. However, anything that's using FC doesn't show those icons. If I go in to edit a flexicontent article, and change its advanced parameters so the print/email/pdf icons are set to "show" instead of "global", then they do appear, but only as text, not as icons.

So how to I make these icons appear as icons (not text) and how do I make them appear on every page automatically, without having to go to every article and manually change the advanced parameters?

Thanks very much. So far, I really enjoy Flexicontent.

Hi,

Verify that in the file item.php of the template you use to display article, you have these lines :

Code:

<!-- BOF buttons -->
	<p class="buttons">
		<?php echo flexicontent_html::pdfbutton( $this->item, $this->params ); ?>
		<?php echo flexicontent_html::mailbutton( 'items', $this->params, null , $this->item->slug ); ?>
		<?php echo flexicontent_html::printbutton( $this->print_link, $this->params ); ?>
		<?php echo flexicontent_html::editbutton( $this->item, $this->params ); ?>
	</p>
	<!-- EOF buttons -->

regards

Thanks for the quick response. I don't have an item.php in any of the directories of my template. item.php does exist in /components/com_flexicontent/templates/default/, and it has the code you're referring to. Should I create an item.php in my template, or can I put this code in the index.php or somewhere else? Thanks.

Hi,

No need to put this code in other file than the item.php

Try to clean the cache of the site and your browsers cache.

Do you have a link to see that, you can PM me an admin access if you want.

Purging site and browser cache didn't work. Icons are still not visible.

Unfortunately, this site is behind a firewall (government site) so there's no outside access - even for me :cry:
