I’ve updated my Share This plugin to version 1.4. This includes a number of minor changes since the last release:
- New method of including Prototype for WP 2.0.x users (can be used by other plugins as well) to avoid including Prototype twice, if possible. This technique is also used in my new WP Grins release.
- StumbleUpon is included as a default link.
- Updated FAQ in the README, addressing a few issues I’ve seen in the forums and via e-mail.
- Added a
robots="noindex, noarchive"
to the Share This page for each post. - Added a missing
>
symbol. - Now using
wp_mail()
instead of the straight PHPmail()
function. - Explicitly set the
z-index
for the pop-up form.
I haven’t gotten around to some of the more significant changes I plan to make, but I figured getting these out there sooner rather than later was a good idea.
Also, I’ve seen a number of translations popping up, if someone wanted to head up an effort to get proper translation files included, I’d be happy to include them. All the strings are abstracted already.
The download and more information are available on my WordPress Plugins page.
If you have any trouble with this, please open a thread in the WP Support Forums and send me the link.
This post is part of the following projects: Share Icon, ShareThis. View the project timelines for more context on this post.
I’m glad to see the update. We’ve been having some trouble with migrating over to 2.1 and still on a previous version. We’ve really been wanting to implement this but it just wasn’t working the way we wanted. Hopefully this update will give us what we’re looking for. Thanks again!
thanks a lot.
this is a awesome plug-in.
thanks
Ahh, excellent. I had problems with 1.3.1, but this one works just fine, right out of the box. (to be fair, I think my problem with the previous version was probably due to a kink in my comments template).
Keep in mind you can review the changes if you want.
Cool, the switch to wp_mail means it now supports wpPHPMailer. My web host (webfaction) requires the use of authenticated SMTP.
I would be interested in translating ShareThis in french. Is there already someone who submitted this translation ?
Alex, I contacted you a while ago about not being able to get version 1.3 to work correctly (it would only load the full page, not the drop down). I was never able to get that going.
Thank you for this update. I just removed 1.3 and installed this one. It fixed my problem and it works great.
Keep up the good work.
have you preserved the modification made by my italian friend Davidonzo with the addiction of the two italian networks of social bookmarking ?
TIA
Thank you for this very innovative plugin. I will give it a try!
I translated this great plugin in italian adding some italian social bookmarking service.
I also applied some modification to make it as valid XHTML 1.1 Transitional.
The validator gives errors about the & characters and “No charset found”.
I add an utf-8 charset in the plugin headers and a function that substituite & whit &[+]amp; when the client view the complete page of the plugin (ie: when someone has javascript disable).
Thanks for you great work!
hi Alex
I just want to say thankyou for “share this” I’m very new to blogging litterally only spent a few hours fiddling and your plugin worked straight out of the box with no problems whatsoever.
so I blogged about it on my blog !! I figured I would try to help in my own little way you know.
Great plugin, Alex.
I’ve integrated it into my social bookmarking plugin called Gregarious.
The only major change I’ve made is to add an options page where you can reshuffle or add / delete social sites.
Hi Alex. Have you seen Dekoh? Take a look, you might find something familiar.. 🙂
(This is not spam, and it is on topic. Just take a look)
Awesome, they are using the Share Icon. 🙂
I thought you would like it.. 🙂 I read about them on TechCrunch.
Hey there,
I’m in the midst of getting share this up and running on my blog and I noticed something that might be of interest since you mentioned earlier wanting a more compressed version of prototype to distribute.
The script seems to work perfectly using mootools after changing the lines that use Prototype’s Position.cumulativeOffset(link) to use link.getPosition(),
No facebook ??
Feature Request: An easy way to disable the E-mail feature.
Getting rid of that tab and its functions would be so nice… 😉
Converse to the last comment post;
Is there a way to disable the Social Web tab and have the Email field only come up?
I have tried messing about in the share-this.php javascript to no avail.
thanks for any help & for the great plugin.
JS
You might also be interested in Protopress which is a project to compress Prototype.
http://groups.google[...]e-core/files
I haven’t looked at what functions your plugin calls, but the prototype-lite from mootools might also be worth a look (3KB).
Thanks for the plugin
I too would like to see Facebook added to this plugin. The vast majority of my visitors are college students.
Very neat plugin that I’ve finally implemented on my blog.
Suggestion for your next update : nice permalinks on the “share this” link (ie /blog/hello-world/share-this/ instead of /blog/?p=666&action=akst_action=share-this)

Great plugin — great contribution to the ‘net.
A Drupal compatible version should be available soon.

its an obvious suggestion i know, and may not even be in the right place… but it would be good if it could be altered to utilize jquery instead, since v2.2 of wordpress offers native support now.
would this take much work? would make a nice 1.5 release.
good work by the way!

Hi again, just wanted to let you know that there’s another “web 2.0” service that is using your icon now: http://jooce.com/
I’d like to throw in my vote for a Facebook option as well!

Any word on the progress of the drupal version of this?
Thanks…
For those who prefer jQuery to Prototype, I have made a version of Share This using jQuery. Alex, I heartily encourage you to make this change too, if only because writing jQuery code is so much fun.
[…] ShareThis, by Alex King from USA. It allows you and your visitors to share content via social bookmarking sites and/or e-mailing the post to a friend. I assume the best part is: it integrates bookmarklets all in one window, therefore not having them cluttered and scattered all over your blog.This is is one highly-recommended plugin if you’d like to keep things reader-friendly. Alex King is living in Denver, Colorado US; he is a Sillicon Valley veteran and currently working self-employed as an independent developer. He’s also the author responsible for Popularity Contest, Link Harvest, Comment License, and more. Plugins made by his fellow Americans are Google AdSense Deluxe –to display you AdSense block wherever IN your post; WP-Translate by Scott Hough –helping visitors to translate your page into different languagest; FeedBurner from Steve Smith, and of course that Akismet, by that ramen noodle-powered Matt. Thank you! […]
Facebook can be added by doing these simple steps:
1. In Site Admin, click on Plugins –> Under Share This, click Edit. You should now be editing the share-this/share-this.php file.
2. I went the easy route and deleted one of the existing bookmarking services. I picked BlinkList because I’ve never heard of it, you can pick your own, or add a new one.
3. This is what the facebook template looks like:
)
, ‘facebook’ => array(
‘name’ => ‘Facebook’
, ‘url’ => ‘http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u={url}&Title={title}’
4. For the icon, you’ll need to create a gif file. The easiest way to do this is to download http://www.facebook.com/favicon.ico. Rename it to facebook.gif (it has to be that name) and upload it to your share-this plugin folder.
Enjoy.
Or just grab the latest from SVN.
I notice that the latest version does not have facebook, but on your blog the share this option does. How do I add it to mine?
