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

[velvetwhip.livejournal.com]

May I share this data in my LJ? I don't want to just do it without your permission.

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

[saifai.livejournal.com]

Feel free. :)

[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!

[dusty273.livejournal.com]

I hope they come up with that feature soon (not holding my breath on that one, though *sighs*)

Ooooh, I saw the unaired pilot to Sherlock where I got you that other link, do you want it?

[saifai.livejournal.com]

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

[saifai.livejournal.com]

Ooh, an unaired pilot? That'd be completely awesome! *grabby hands*

[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. :)

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

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.

[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.

[novlomien.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for this!

[saifai.livejournal.com]

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

[saifai.livejournal.com]

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

[saifai.livejournal.com]

Awesome. Hope it works okay for everyone.

[saifai.livejournal.com]

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

[umegaki.livejournal.com]

Here's hoping. Thank you so much for posting it. ♥

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.
