Hello,
I need help again. My gallery it's online e working fine, but my memory fails and I cannot find where I have to go to change email addresses and Facebook data :(
I did this in June but now I cannot find online in the panel, where All this data are.
And about the "share this" popup, if someone use it to share a picture, in the place where it share I see: api.addthis.com and under a link to my site (not to the gallery) and a photo that is not the shared photo and it is always the same. Can you tell me if I have to setup something to have the real photo shared and overall, not that link api.addthis.com that it's really bad.

The second question is about the counter: I've seen where I have to put the code, but I cannot manage the position in where I would like to put it.
Can someone help me please?

Thanks in advance
Lio

What data is it you want to change? The sharing does not require any e-mail or anything .. It just "shares" to the various services. I am not sure what "e-mail address and Facebook data" you want to change, because there are not settings for this. If you are talking of the custom Facebook "like" button, that is html code that you have yourself added as a counter based on our tutorial. As for the Facebook flaw, this is discussed in other topics right now, and happens because Facebook changed the way they access data. This should be fixed in a minor update coming shortly.

Sorry what "counter"? There is no counter in Imagevue, although you may have added a 3rd party counter earlier ...

Thank Karl for your patience.
I'm speaking about this

So it's not my memory, no settings for this buttons....
But what about the second question:

For the counter I agree with you: I'm speaking about a third part counter.
I'm not able to choose the right position to put the counter in.
Thanks
Lio

There are settings for these buttons, but not any e-mail address or facebook-data to change. It is a sharing menu, and you simply choose what items to display. You can find these options under admin -> settings -> misc.sharing

You say it doesn't link to your gallery though? Do you have a link to your gallery so I can take a look? As mentioned, Facebook changed so it just shares the link to your gallery page, and it does not select the correct thumbnail or link to the specific gallery. There is a fix for this shortly ...

Try adding your counter inside a div tag like this:
Code
<div style="position:absolute; bottom:5px; left:5px;">YOUR CODE</div>
Be aware, you cannot paste PHP code directly into the counter though ...

This is what I see when I share:

Image

the first link is this one
http://api.addthis.com/oexchange/0.8/wr ... NC5qcGc%3D

and point to a pic then open the pic in the album.

But I cannot understand where the thumbnail in the FB shared link come from, it's not the image I want to share.

The link to my gallery is http://www.liosite.com/Portfolio/
Now I'll give a try for the counter.
Thanks in advance
