FB/Twitter Cross-post Ticky Box FIX

[saifai]

This is just a quick fix for your CSS to get rid of the ticky boxes in your comment section. It won't prevent those who have auto-share (or viewing in their own style), but those that pick and choose what to share on Facebook and Twitter will be blocked. I couldn't get rid of the entire section yet, but it's a start.

CSS PATCH CODE:
/* ---FB-Twitter Comment Ticky Fix--- */
.b-repost-items, .b-repost-item, .b-repost-item IMG, #entry-form-wrapper .b-repost-item, b-repost-item-fb {
display: none;
}

.b-repost-item .repost_disabled {
color: #CCC;
display: none;
}

INSTRUCTIONS:
To get to the custom CSS box if you're not aware, you go to the main menu and click: Journal >> Journal Style >> Customize your theme >> Custom CSS

Just go here. From there you cut and paste the code above into the box (anywhere is fine - I added mine to the bottom of my layout codes), and hit "Save Changes"

NOTES:
* Comments I've gotten about it say that it's seems to work best in S2 layouts.
* You need custom comment pages enabled in order for this to work. You get that option with Plus account and above (though with the Plus, while still free, you have to deal with ads).
* If you're thinking the code seems a bit redundant, you'd be right. But then I'm paranoid, so I went with safe just in case.
* This is an updated version of the code. Nothing different than the first other than it's streamlined a bit.
* Have just learned LJ has a "Share This!" link at the bottom of every post. Never noticed that before, but I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of it now. More on this one later! Fixed! See link below.

REMOVING "SHARE THIS!" FROM LINKBAR:
I've found someone that had a solution for removing the "Share" link from the comment links section. It was done for Smooth Sailing layouts, though seems to work fine for my Bloggish. It probably won't work for everything though, so I'll keep a watch out for others. You can find the code I used here

P.S. Feel free to share this in your own journal.

You're very welcome. Hopefully I can figure out how to get rid of the whole section soon. Now it's just driving me nuts. LOL

[dusty273.livejournal.com]

Wow, you're good! I'm so doing this right now! Thanks!

[saifai.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! Now if only we can get an opt-out feature from LJ we'll be set. :)

[luzestrellera.livejournal.com]

i'll surely try this!! thanks :):):)
and btw, do you also know how to get rid of the lj header, that thing with the...ugghhh black butterflies? eeeeeks!!!
i have a phobia to those and i get nervous every time i go to my home page now...

[saifai.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! You used to be able to set the site scheme you could display on the home page, but it looks like they've either hidden it or removed that option. Off hand the only way I know to get rid of it is to strip it from your settings. You go through the menu: Profile >> Settings >> Display

From there look for the "Site Scheme" option and click on the ticky box for "Lynx (light)"

Way stripped down version. I'm sure there's a way to do it from that Greasemonkey program for Firefox users, but I wouldn't know how.

Thank you for this!

[saifai.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! Glad I could be of help.

[emerald-embers.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to pop by and say thank you for this. It's a life-saver :).

[saifai.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome. Glad I could be of help. :)

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Here from a friend's link! Thanks! <3

[saifai.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. Glad I could help. :)

[txrabbit.livejournal.com]

I stuck that coding to the bottom of all the other coding. I hope I didn't totally fuck up all your work.

Of course if I did.... You would need to make me a new one!!!!

*smootch* Thanks for the help. Glad to have that stuff gone.

[saifai.livejournal.com]

Fuck up free so it would seem. That's the best place to put code like that. :) Glad I could help.

[umegaki.livejournal.com]

Shared this back at my own LJ (http://umegaki.livejournal.com/594289.html). Hopefully it'll help a lot of people out.

[saifai.livejournal.com]

Awesome. Hope it works okay for everyone.

[novlomien.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for this!

[saifai.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. Glad I could help. :)

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Cool. I still have the "share with" and the "settings" link, but the facebook and twitter icons and ticky boxes are gone. This is most excellent.

(Unfortunately when I commented in your journal and it wanted the reCaptcha thing, I see the clicky boxes again.)

[saifai.livejournal.com]

I can't quite figure out how to get rid of that text, but the important bits are gone. Thankfully.

Thanks for the heads up on the Captcha thing. Will have to go in and figure out what's causing it.

[animekittysama.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for this. I told people about it at my communities and will be completely redoing my journal layout to accomodate it.

[saifai.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! Glad I could be of help.

[doctor-denmark.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much :)

[saifai.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. :) Glad I could help.

[dyoklako.livejournal.com]

hi, got here c/o karadin and your post helped a great deal since i get confused with too technical details which the Firefox's Greasemonkey program seem to have, this is a better alternative.

Thank you!

Will share this link to others as well. :)

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[delaese.livejournal.com]

Hello. I've never been in your LJ before but I would like to state with great authority that you are so awesome you should be a brand of candy for posting this. Thank you.

[saifai.livejournal.com]

LOL - Why thank you!

[crayola34.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I had no idea users could just share info about other people's journals just like that on twitter and FB D: What ever happened to privacy? I'm glad my page is as anonymous as I can make it.

[saifai.livejournal.com]

LJ has always been a bit rash when it comes to making changes that affect privacy. Glad I could help.

[gillo]

Here via trepkos - thank you so much for this!

[saifai.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. :) Glad I could help ya'.

[flingslass.livejournal.com]

♥ I snagged this off Dusty273 and am posting with many thanks. I hate what they did but since when do we get a say. Just like Facebook!!!! (I'm irritated :D)

With all the people you've made happy, you'll hardly find the time to read this :D

[saifai.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome! LJ and Facebook definitely are of a different mindset when it comes to privacy concerns. Hopefully LJ will get the message with this one.

[naye]

Awesome! Thank you! This was linked through friends, and I am so very grateful for all the irritation this is saving me from.

[saifai.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome! Glad I could help.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I have posted this info in my own journal to pass the word along. You are my hero!!

[saifai.livejournal.com]

LOL - You're very welcome. I'm just glad I could be of some help.

[catwench.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Read the bottom and put it and the other one line coding at the bottom of my CSS Codes. I'm still seeing "Share This" on my public entries. What am I doing wrong please?

Is there anywhere specific within the CSS box where the code has to be pasted?

[saifai.livejournal.com]

Ah. LJ offers their own workaround. Lovely. The "Share This" is new, so you're not doing anything wrong.. The code I have only gets rid of the ticky boxes on the comment section. Trying to figure out now how to get rid of it. Will let you know what I find. Thanks for the heads up!

[jetcas.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for this, yay :)

[saifai.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome. :)
