Alex King’s Share-This

It never hurts to read the README.

@mike_koepke…
thanks Mike,
it works now ??

@alex…
yes, it never hurts! ??
awesome plugin Alex
thx

regards

Hello Alex, I love this plugin, but I have the same problem as gidibao – in Firefox (not IE) the list items have the ‘dot’ next to them. It’s like the list-style:none doesn’t work, or maybe there’s a CSS problem?

Or am I going crazy?? (possible ??

There is no way that Share This can predict CSS rules you already have in existence for your site. If your CSS rules are more specific than the included Share This rules and you don’t like the results, the best thing to do is add additional more specific Share This rules to your CSS to get the look you want.

I’ve used Teezeh’s suggestions to put an icon before the share-this link. It’s now in the header of every post (see it at work at: https://www.astroblogs.nl ; remember: share this is ‘deel dit’ in Dutch). But now another problem arises: there’s also the regular share-this links at the footer of the posts. How do I remove that link?

Did you read the README?

Yep. I read that. Eh…I suppose I missed something?

From the README:

== Template Tags ==

By default, the Share This link will be added to the end of your content and the Share This form will be added to your footer. If you would like to control exactly where these go in your template, you can do so by disabling the auto-output and using the following template tags:

The link:

<?php akst_share_link(); ?>

The form:

<?php akst_share_form(); ?>

To disable the auto-output of the link and form, you can edit the .php file and change the following settings from:

@define('AKST_ADDTOCONTENT', true);
@define('AKST_ADDTOFOOTER', true);

to:

@define('AKST_ADDTOCONTENT', false);
@define('AKST_ADDTOFOOTER', false);

If you don’t want to edit the .php file, you can add this to your WordPress index.php file or your own plugin (which must be loaded before Share This):

@define('AKST_ADDTOCONTENT', false);
@define('AKST_ADDTOFOOTER', false);

Share This 1.2 does not validate when manually placing the PHP tags. The errors center around multiple uses of IDs which, of course, can only be used once.

Is it something I’m doing wrong?

It does validate using the default placement, but I can’t get it to work (just kicks me to the top of the page) and I don’t want to be placed there anyway.

same problem – the plugin doesnt even show up on my wp plugins. also tried using it with the digg-it +share plugin and although i ticked the “share it” box etc still wouldnt work.

any other suggested similar plugin?

Hmm. That’s odd. Are you sure you have it installed in the correct place? Share This gets its own folder in your plugins folder, plus the prototype.js file in your wp-includes/js/ folder. If all of that is correct, I can’t imagine why it doesn’t show up.

It works perfectly fine for me, except for the fact that it doesn’t validate.

Great plugin! I am getting the following error when selecting Send Email and not entering an email address or entering an improper email address. Routine is wanting to die, but it cannot find wp_die().

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_die() in /home/davidsco/public_html/wp-content/plugins/share-this/share-this.php on line 364

I am using Firefox 1.5.0.8

I succeeded in getting rid of the share-this link under the post, so now I have the link at the top of the post. Thanx Alex King, fot your help. But I have another problem (yep, there’s always a ‘but’): the share-this links works with the first post on the page, but with the following posts nothing happens when I activate the share-this link. I have to open the post at a seperate page and then it works. What am I doing wrong (and I’ve searched the README extensively;-)).

hii

i disabled the default link and placed the code (<?php akst_share_link(); ?>) in single.php near the meta data
