Shape 5

My articles have a white background. The box containing the Print and Email icons is also white. The icons are not visible until one puts the cursor inside the invisible icon box in the upper right corner and clicks, and then the icons pop up. Selecting the "Show" options for icons in the Article Manager, or even in the Article itself, does not solve the problem. Neither does changing the template icon style from light to dark.

Meanwhile, a Front Page article has a dark icon block. Clicking in that block also brings up the icon options.

How can we have the Email and Print icons show at all times on each page? Is there a toggle switch, or do we need to modify the code somewhere?

Thanks.

Hello,

Can you post a URL illustrating this?

My IT consultant wrote to me as follows:

We would like to know where is the template setting to define a color for the print/email button when
inactive.

We have identified that it is related to the dropdown-toggle part of the COM_Content.css (line 365).
But how to change the default white background to a grey/custom color  within the template
Manager?

Thanks.

Hello,

You would just need to change it via CSS here:

com_content.css - line 365

.item-page .dropdown-toggle, .blog .dropdown-toggle, .item .dropdown-toggle {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
    margin-top: -3px;
}

Change #FFFFFF; to something darker.

Okay, will do.

Thank you.

The position of this toggle switch is at the top right of the article. I want to change its position to "top left" of the article. What should I do?

Hello,

If you hover over the icon itself with a tool called Firebug to identify Joomla's default class you should be able to add something like a float: left; value in the custom.css to move its position.
