Multiple sharebars when using AddThis for Joomla

Hi!

I'm using Jevents and AddThis for Joomla, and both extensions are working, but on Jevents' pages there are multiple bars, even 9 more than it should.
The extension I'm talking about:

An example page I have problem with:

Hello,

This is a problem with Add This. It appears to me, to load for every item of Jevents hence the multiples.

Can you get in touch with Add This and see if they have a suggestion?

I tried to contact them, but no response so far. Meanwhile I installed and tried their module which seems to have no problems unlike their plugin. So the problem is kinda solved.

I would advise the module yes, you can also use the Special JEvents module positions to have it included in a module position which your template does not have

It does not seems that this problem is from AddThis because it doesn't happen with Jevents earlier than 2.2.7 in yearly and monthly view. But in details view, there is also 3 more AddThis sharebars.

AddThis is a content plugin - JEvents calls content plugins on several fields e.g. description, extra info, contact and AddThis is outputting multiple times once for each call.

It should either ignore JEvents altogether or know that it has been called on an item already by checking its "id" value.
