devot:eeDevoted to ExpressionEngine

Provides an easy way to add ShareThis buttons (including facebook like, google plus, and twitter buttons) to an EE site.

This plugin literally supports every aspect of the ShareThis API. An included extension allows for the setting of global defaults, but parameters can still be overridden at the tag level.  Both the ShareThis native parameter names, as well as more EE-friendly versions can be used.

Plugin usage is pretty straight forward, and whatever isn’t obvious from the Extension Settings page can be found here or in the Share This Documentation

Open Graph Tag: {exp:sharethis:og}
———————————————————————————-

Example:

{exp:sharethis:og title=“My Website” url=“http://google.com”}

Produces: (assuming there isn’t a global image or description set)

<meta content="My Website" property="og:title" />
<meta content="http://google.com" property="og:url" />
<meta content="article" property="og:type" />

JavaScript Tag: {exp:sharethis:js}
——————————————————————————
If the js tag isn’t included before the first button tag is used, the javascript is
automatically added based on the extension global defaults.

Example:

{exp:sharethis:js key="xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" ssl="yes" load_late="yes"}

Produces:

<script type=“text/javascript”>
var __st_loadLate=true;
</script>
<script type=“text/javascript”>
var switchTo5x=true;
</script>
<script type=“text/javascript” src=“https://ws.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js”></script>
<script type=“text/javascript”>
stLight.options(&#123;“publisher”:“xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx”,“theme”:“1”;);
</script>

[removed]


Button Tag: {exp:sharethis:button}
—————————————————————————————————————————————————

Example:

{exp:sharethis:button services=“sharethis|facebook|twitter” title=“My page” url=“http://google.com” after=”<br />”}

Produces:









Facebook Like Tag: {exp:sharethis:fblike}

Example:

{exp:sharethis:fblike display="hcount" st_title="My Website"}

Produces:

GooglePlus Tag: {exp:sharethis:plusone}

Example:

{exp:sharethis:plusone summary="A very brief summary."}Tag Content!!{/exp:sharethis:plusone}

Produces:

Tag Content!!


Non-JS link Tag: {exp:sharethis:link}
—————————————————————————————————————————————————
Produces a link to take a non-js abled user to the ShareThis page where they can still share content.

Example:

{exp:sharethis:link}A non js-dependent link to sharethis{/exp:sharethis:link}

Produces:

A non js-dependent link to sharethis


This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are way too many settings to display here!
I normally enjoy giving my extensions away for free, but supporting an ever-changing API like ShareThis would be too costly to maintain. Hopefully the small $5 cost won’t deter people from using the extension
