Plugin ShareThis
This Wiki Plugin places a ShareThis button (from www.sharethis.com) on the page. Users can click on the button and select from a number of social networking services to share the page with their network. A ShareThis account is not necessary.
Warning
There were bugs in this plugin in version 3.0 (which is when the plugin was introduced) which were fixed in version 3.2.
Here's a quick example (also works in 3.0):
This code:
{SHARETHIS() /}Produces this:
xxx <- Mouse over or click on this link or icon to see the widget.
Usage and Parameters
To use this plugin in a wiki page, use the syntax:Syntax for the ShareThis plugin
{SHARETHIS(sendsvcs=> , postfirst=> , rotateimage=> y|n, buttontext=> , headertitle=> , headerbg=> , headertxtcolor=> , linkfg=> , popup=> true|false, embed=> true|false)}{SHARETHIS}| Parameter | Accepted values | Default | Effect | Required? | Since |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| sendsvcs | email|aim|sms (with no spaces) | all three send services will be available in the widget if this value is not set | Enter one or two of the services (separated by a | ) if you don't want all three to be available in the widget | n | 3.2 |
| postfirst | names of post services (like facebook, digg, etc.). The names can't have spaces and need to be spelled exactly as the code that the www.sharethis.com site would produce. |
a default set of services will show on the first panel of the widget | The services named will appear by themselves on the first panel when the widget opens | n | 3.2 |
| rotateimage | y or n | n | Setting this to y will cause the button icon to rotate every 3 seconds between a few icons, cycling through twice before stopping. | n | 3.2 |
| buttontext | text | ShareThis | Changes the link text for the button | n | 3.2 |
| headertitle | text | none | Optional header title text for the widget | n | 3.2 |
| headerbg | HTML color code without the # sign (and not the color name) | 004a64 | Background color for the header. headertitle must be set for this parameter to have any effect. | n | 3.2 |
| headertxtcolor | HTML color code without the # sign (and not the color name) | ffffff (white) | Text color for the header title. headertitle must be set for this parameter to have any effect. | n | 3.2 |
| linkfg | HTML color code without the # sign (and not the color name) | In 3.0 and 3.1, the default is CF000D (red). In 3.2 it's 222222 (blackish). | Link text color for all the services shown in the widget | n | |
| popup | true or false | false | When set to true, clicking on the button causes the widget to appear in a pop-up window. | n | |
| embed | true or false | false | A value of true will allow embedded elements (like flash) to be seen while iframe is loading. | n |
Other Usage Tips
- A ShareThis account is not necessary for this plugin to work properly.
- Personalized information from the user's ShareThis profile will appear in the widget if the user is signed into ShareThis, either through their website or through the widget.
- If the plugin is used more than once on a page, all instances will be the same as the first one on the page.
- May not work within a {DIV} or {SPLIT} plugin (this is an issue for any plugin that produces Javascript).
Example
This code,{SHARETHIS(rotateimage=>y, embed=>true, postfirst=>myspace|digg|delicious, buttontext=>ShareThat, headertitle=>Share this page!, headerbg=>333333, headertxtcolor=>e6d46e, sendsvcs=>email|sms)}{SHARETHIS}Produce this (starting with 3.2):
Note
This is a static image being used until the code is updated to reflect all the features of this plugin. Because of this you won't be able to see the rotateimage parameter in action with this screenshot.
