Increased security for private areas - no sharing

[microbe]

Hey there,

A good feature for the future would to be able to turn off sharing via facebook etc for individual categories.

I have an install with some public categories and some private. Specific people have access to the private categories and of course it is impossible to stop people copying or whatever but why make it easier to share private posts (even unintentionally) in a public place by having social network buttons?

It would be nice to be able to disable any or all of the social media icons in that box. In the mean time, I've been forced to comment out the "aside" area in my template which turns off not only that, but two other boxes as well. Not a perfect fix, but like you I can't have users sharing pages meant only for them.

There is a Social Media settings area but it doesn't turn them all off, only on certain pages.

How about posting the changes you made

All I did was comment out the {rightBox} in the "aside" section in index.tpl in my template folder

Trouble with this is that it also removed "Most Popular" and "Top FAQs" but I didn't need those two anyway.

Code: Select all

<aside>
       <!-- {rightBox} -->
        <section>
            <header>
                <h3>{stickyRecordsHeader}</h3>
            </header>
            <ul>
                [stickyRecordsList]
                <li><a href="{stickyRecordsUrl}">{stickyRecordsTitle}</a></li>
                [/stickyRecordsList]
            </ul>
        </section>
    </aside>

Hi,

you could change it in catandtag.tpl and artikel.tpl

That works better, but it still allows social media links when I click on an article. I can't find where in artikel.tpl to turn it off.

[Thorsten]

Hi,

did you checked catandtag.tpl?

bye
Thorsten

[DaveV]

Yes, that one was easy to find. I can't find what to edit in artikel.tpl

[Thorsten]

Hi,

sorry, I was wrong.

It's catandtag.tpl and startpage.tpl

bye
Thorsten

[DaveV]

That did it. Thank you again!

Read back through the entire thread. Thorsten corrected himself, it isn't artikel.tpl, it is startpage.tpl
