Rock stars ... is there anything they don't know?

Social Bookmarking Plugin
I've just added a social bookmarking plugin to my blog called "Social Bookmarks" by Apostolos Dountsis. I think it's a really cool plugin, so I just thought I'd share in case someone else was looking for a good social bookmark plugin.
This one allows you to to have the links both at the end of each post on your blog and on the pages you make for your blog too, if you have those. It also gives you the option to select only to have it on certain pages and not on others. Also, it gives you the option to hide or not hide the icons and lets you decide how fast the drop down speed loads and which sites you want to include or exclude... And a few other things. Just thought it might be useful to anyone looking for this sort of plugin

Wheither you think you can or you think you can't, Your right.

I switched to addthis a while back myself. Mainly because it is very little code on the page. Old one I used added a ton of code to my posts.
The only thing I don't like about addthis is that you have little control over where and how it shows up. Wicked, does the one your talking about add a lot of code? I checked out the link digifan posted (thanks.. digifan), but don't see a example or demo? |

If you want to see an example of what it looks like, you can see it on my blog: http://www.asktemptress.com I have the option to hide the icons turned on, but you can turn this option off if you prefer to have them showing

If you view source on your single posts, you have more code than content.. The biggest reason I switched to addthis, just a few lines of JS. |

What you want to do is wind up with it enclosed in a div tag so you can apply a CSS class or ID to it. Once you have the AddThis code wrapped in a div, you can use CSS positioning, margin and padding to get it where you want. You'd make the changes in your theme's index.php file. You'll have to get the opening div tag to appear right after the post content. Then the closing div tag is pretty easy. The other option is to edit the widget code in the AddThis plugin file to add the div code there. HTH

I finally dove in to fixing it, probably because of this thread. Anyways, you can't edit the theme's index, the changes need to be done in the plug-in file itself, as you mentioned. Your right the plug-in adds the code right after the post "content", so the div needs to be added either in the wordpress code itself or in the plug-in code, the plug-in code is easier.. I can post the change if any one wants it. To bad addthis doesn't do like some other plug-ins, were they add the div css into the plug-in code for you, would be nice. I know the related plug-in I use does that. |

You're right, Ronnie, it's much easier to just add the div tag around the script tags in the plugin code. I thought I could just echo an opening div tag after the code for 'the_content' in the index file (in the same php tag), but that doesn't put the div where I wanted it.
I bet if we mentioned it to the developer, he'd make the change to add a div wrapper. The div tag is already there in the code he gives you to add after each post if you don't want to use the widget. I'll try to remember to make the request.

I tried the exact same thing, echo'ing the div tag in the content code... And I thought that should work.
I just added it to the plug-in like you, added the CSS and good to go. Sounds good, I will go suggest it right now. Maybe if enough people bug them... |

Sounds good.
I did send in a request, using their web form, for that feature after I posted here yesterday. Like you said, if enough people bug them.
