PDF icons still missing!

Joomla 2.5.8, Joomshaper, Shaper Simplicity ii template. Component installed with full install instructions. Plugin installed and published.

Viewing page source, I see no reference to the pdf button.

I followed all of the suggestions in the other posts to no avail.

PHP 5.4.8 on the server . . .

**When I switch to the Beez2 template I see the link in the form of the letters "PDF" where I want to see the pdf icon!

This is from the source code:

Code: Select all

		<li class="print-icon"><a href="/root_folder/index.php/services/91-we-provide?tmpl=component&format=pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href,'win2','status=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,titlebar=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes,width=640,height=480,directories=no,location=no'); return false;" title="PDF" rel="nofollow"><img src="/root_folder/" alt="PDF"  /></a></li>	
I think I should put the correct location of the pdf_button.png in which ever stylesheet or template-code file it needs to go in, but for the life of me I can't find it!

Please . . . what else could it be?


A Followup . . .

Now I went through the "Custom Install" instructions despite the Phocapdf "full installation" resulted in all successes in it's report.

It wasn't until I got down to the Warning box that explains:
Be aware, some of templates override content files, it means, the files to display content (article) are not used from com_content area but from template area. For example:

components/com_content/views/article/tmpl/default.php

is stored in:

templates/your-template/html/com_content/article/default.php

Then the template file needs to be overriden.


Now I am getting "PDF" - not the icon . . . and the layout of the three little buttons is all messed up . . .

What or where is the file I have to edit now????

(both in article view and featured view)

Hi, templates/your-template/html/com_content/article/default.php - if it is designed by MVC overriding by the template, this file should be edited.
