components/com_k2/templates/default/item.php

	  <?php if($this->item->params->get('itemShareLinks')): ?>
	  <!-- Item social links -->
		<div class="itemSocialLinksBlock">
			<span><?php echo JText::_("Social sharing"); ?></span>
			<ul class="itemSocialLinks">
				<li><a class="googlebuzz" title="<?php echo JText::_("Add to Google Buzz"); ?>" href="http://www.google.com/buzz/post?url=<?php echo $this->item->socialLink; ?>&amp;message=<?php echo urlencode($this->item->title); ?>" target="_blank"><span><?php echo JText::_("Add to Google Buzz"); ?></span></a></li>
				<li><a class="facebook" title="<?php echo JText::_("Add to Facebook"); ?>" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=<?php echo $this->item->socialLink; ?>&amp;t=<?php echo urlencode($this->item->title); ?>" target="_blank"><span><?php echo JText::_("Add to Facebook"); ?></span></a></li>
				<li><a class="delicious" title="<?php echo JText::_("Add to Delicious"); ?>" href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=<?php echo $this->item->socialLink; ?>&amp;title=<?php echo urlencode($this->item->title); ?>" target="_blank"><span><?php echo JText::_("Add to Delicious"); ?></span></a></li>
				<li><a class="digg" title="<?php echo JText::_("Digg this"); ?>" href="http://digg.com/submit?url=<?php echo $this->item->socialLink; ?>&amp;title=<?php echo urlencode($this->item->title); ?>" target="_blank"><span><?php echo JText::_("Digg this"); ?></span></a></li>
				<li><a class="reddit" title="<?php echo JText::_("Add to Reddit"); ?>" href="http://reddit.com/submit?url=<?php echo $this->item->socialLink; ?>&amp;title=<?php echo urlencode($this->item->title); ?>" target="_blank"><span><?php echo JText::_("Add to Reddit"); ?></span></a></li>
				<li><a class="stumble" title="<?php echo JText::_("Add to StumbleUpon"); ?>" href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=<?php echo $this->item->socialLink; ?>&amp;title=<?php echo urlencode($this->item->title); ?>" target="_blank"><span><?php echo JText::_("Add to StumbleUpon"); ?></span></a></li>
				<li><a class="myspace" title="<?php echo JText::_("Add to MySpace"); ?>" href="http://www.myspace.com/Modules/PostTo/Pages/?l=3&amp;u=<?php echo $this->item->socialLink; ?>&amp;t=<?php echo urlencode($this->item->title); ?>" target="_blank"><span><?php echo JText::_("Add to MySpace"); ?></span></a></li>
				<li><a class="technorati" title="<?php echo JText::_("Add to Technorati"); ?>" href="http://www.technorati.com/faves?add=<?php echo $this->item->socialLink; ?>" target="_blank"><span><?php echo JText::_("Add to Technorati"); ?></span></a></li>
				<li class="clr"></li>
			</ul>
			<div class="clr"></div>
		</div>
	  <?php endif; ?>

Place the follwing line in between:
(after: "<li><a class="technorati")

<li><a class="hyves" title="<?php echo JText::_("Add to Hyves"); ?>" href="http://www.hyves-share.nl/button/tip/?tipcategoryid=12&rating=5&title=<?php echo $this->item->title; ?>&body=<?php echo $this->item->socialLink; ?>" target="_blank"><span><?php echo JText::_("Add to Hyves"); ?></span></a></li>

So you should get this:

	  <?php if($this->item->params->get('itemShareLinks')): ?>
	  <!-- Item social links -->
		<div class="itemSocialLinksBlock">
			<span><?php echo JText::_("Social sharing"); ?></span>
			<ul class="itemSocialLinks">
				<li><a class="googlebuzz" title="<?php echo JText::_("Add to Google Buzz"); ?>" href="http://www.google.com/buzz/post?url=<?php echo $this->item->socialLink; ?>&amp;message=<?php echo urlencode($this->item->title); ?>" target="_blank"><span><?php echo JText::_("Add to Google Buzz"); ?></span></a></li>
				<li><a class="facebook" title="<?php echo JText::_("Add to Facebook"); ?>" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=<?php echo $this->item->socialLink; ?>&amp;t=<?php echo urlencode($this->item->title); ?>" target="_blank"><span><?php echo JText::_("Add to Facebook"); ?></span></a></li>
				<li><a class="delicious" title="<?php echo JText::_("Add to Delicious"); ?>" href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=<?php echo $this->item->socialLink; ?>&amp;title=<?php echo urlencode($this->item->title); ?>" target="_blank"><span><?php echo JText::_("Add to Delicious"); ?></span></a></li>
				<li><a class="digg" title="<?php echo JText::_("Digg this"); ?>" href="http://digg.com/submit?url=<?php echo $this->item->socialLink; ?>&amp;title=<?php echo urlencode($this->item->title); ?>" target="_blank"><span><?php echo JText::_("Digg this"); ?></span></a></li>
				<li><a class="reddit" title="<?php echo JText::_("Add to Reddit"); ?>" href="http://reddit.com/submit?url=<?php echo $this->item->socialLink; ?>&amp;title=<?php echo urlencode($this->item->title); ?>" target="_blank"><span><?php echo JText::_("Add to Reddit"); ?></span></a></li>
				<li><a class="stumble" title="<?php echo JText::_("Add to StumbleUpon"); ?>" href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=<?php echo $this->item->socialLink; ?>&amp;title=<?php echo urlencode($this->item->title); ?>" target="_blank"><span><?php echo JText::_("Add to StumbleUpon"); ?></span></a></li>
				<li><a class="myspace" title="<?php echo JText::_("Add to MySpace"); ?>" href="http://www.myspace.com/Modules/PostTo/Pages/?l=3&amp;u=<?php echo $this->item->socialLink; ?>&amp;t=<?php echo urlencode($this->item->title); ?>" target="_blank"><span><?php echo JText::_("Add to MySpace"); ?></span></a></li>
				<li><a class="technorati" title="<?php echo JText::_("Add to Technorati"); ?>" href="http://www.technorati.com/faves?add=<?php echo $this->item->socialLink; ?>" target="_blank"><span><?php echo JText::_("Add to Technorati"); ?></span></a></li>
				<li><a class="hyves" title="<?php echo JText::_("Add to Hyves"); ?>" href="http://www.hyves-share.nl/button/tip/?tipcategoryid=12&rating=5&title=<?php echo $this->item->title; ?>&body=<?php echo $this->item->socialLink; ?>" target="_blank"><span><?php echo JText::_("Add to Hyves"); ?></span></a></li>
				<li class="clr"></li>
			</ul>
			<div class="clr"></div>
		</div>
	  <?php endif; ?>

You can eventually remove the social links you're not using bij remove them from <li> to </li>. Or you can rearrange the items.

To finish the whole story, you can add a language item.
Dit doe je op de volgende wijze:

Open ' nl-NL.com_k2.ini ' That's in the folder '/language/nl-NL/'
(Unless you don't use the dutch language: just replace 'nl-NL' by 'en-GB')

In this file you find the next line:

ADD TO TECHNORATI=Toevoegen aan Technorati

An below this line you add the next line:

ADD TO HYVES=Tip plaatsen op Hyves

(or in english file: ADD TO HYVES=Tip to Hyves

Now you have a hyves social button in your K2 component.

If you're lazy, you can download this at the bottom of this article. Upload the contents of the file to the root of your joomal installation and you're done.

Good luck.
