I have seen many postings regarding this issue, but have seldom seen a
solution that does not require removing a piece of the standpipe. My
shower drain is leaking at the solvent joints and I was wondering if
there is a simple solution such as a glue of some type I can just apply
over the inside joint? I tried silicone but it doesn't seem to adhere
very well to the ABS.

Thanks

I don't know of any "simple" solution.
Cut out the sections leaking and redo.
Use a Fernco "No-Hub" coupling to join the last pieces
if there is no slack.
