[Feature request] Option to disable social buttons #10

Closed TehPeGaSuS closed 3 weeks ago

TehPeGaSuS commented 3 weeks ago

I may be overlooking something but I don't see a way to disable the social (Facebook, X, WhatsApp, Email) buttons.

This is a theme feature and can be easily removed just by deleting/commenting the social code in themes/name_of_the_theme/views/view/view.php:

    <div class="detail" style="margin-top:5px;">
        <!-- AddToAny BEGIN -->
        <span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 a2a_default_style">
            <a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a>
            <a class="a2a_button_x"></a>
            <a class="a2a_button_whatsapp"></a>
            <a class="a2a_button_email"></a>
        </span>
        <script async src="https://static.addtoany.com/menu/page.js"></script>
        <!-- AddToAny END -->
    </div>

It's not worth the hassle of implementing a config feature just for this, as the config file is already huge, and it will become even more confusing for beginner users.

I strongly disagree, since I don't understand PHP (like lots of other people) and I don't want to mess up things.

But I do understand the why of not wanting to implement the feature.

MercanoGlobal commented 3 weeks ago

I don't want to add a setting for this, because this isn't a core feature, but a theme one. Basically, you can call it a design choice.

Also, there have been countless times when we wanted to quickly share a piece of code on our WhatsApp groups, and it was just a hassle to copy/paste the link. Now, with the share buttons, we can do that in 2 clicks. On your website, I see you removed the share buttons. If so, then why don't you also remove the URL and Embed, which are also related to sharing a paste? See what I mean? ssshare

I still want people to share the URL, since this is a test instance for a production instance that I have. I just don't need Facebook and all those bells and whistles. A Copy URL button, for me, would be more suitable.

Well, from what I've seen, only us and Pastebin.com have this feature. pbin

Our implementation being a bit better 😁 Quick sharing is part of the future. Many developers that use such services, share code snippets on Twitter all the time.

TehPeGaSuS commented 3 weeks ago

Yes, I know.

But I'm providing a pastebin for IRC.

We only need, at most, a Copy URL button (which currently we don't have)
