Answer 1

Hello, if you are looking for change in the above mentioned theme, then you need to do this:

1. Open qa-theme.php file and replace the entire function q_view_buttons with this below:

function q_view_buttons($q_view) {

    //Social Media Buttons for question

    $page_url = urlencode(qa_opt('site_url').$this->request);

    $page_title = urlencode($q_view['raw']['title']);

    $this->output(

        '<div class="qa-share-buttons">',

        '<div class="qa-share-text">Share on </div>',

        '<div class="qa-share-final">',

            '<a href="http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url='.$page_url.'&title='.$page_title.'&summary='.$page_title.'" target="_blank" class="qa-share-li" title="share this question on Linkedin">share on li</a>',

        '</div>',

        '<div class="qa-clear"></div>',

        '</div>'

    );

qa_html_theme_base::q_view_buttons($q_view);

}

 

PS: I am the developer of that theme you pointed to.

Wow, that was fast. This works perfectly. Wanted to know if you are open to custom development for a Q&A site that we run?
