Addthis Cuztomization

[jorgebravoc]

Hello elxis community:

I have updated to the new version of elxis and I was wondering how to customize the Addthis bot? I would like to have this very same look: http://www.syros-booking.gr/el/reservations/hermoupolis-syros-cyclades-greece/diogenis-hotel-hermoupolis-syros.html (see bottom right)

I´d like to show a few options such as Facebook, Twiter, Myspace, etc.... in a horizontal line not just the orange + icon which could be ignored by some viewers. Also the Like addition is wonderful, anybody know how to achieve this? I´m very n ew to php and I kind of messed up with the php file of the bot but didn´t  get the result I need....  any help out there?

I believe webgift developed this bot... maybe having this optionto customize will increase the usage of this bot? Will be very glad to hear from you.

Thanks in advance

Of course this can be done, but it is custom work.
If you are interested for commercial support please contact me.

As for WebGift, I don't know if he want to change the public release of the bot.

Sorry jorgebravoc ,
I almost see that thread.
Unfortunately i don't have free time to change that bot but i promise that i will create a new one with that kind of presentation at the future.
On EDC i have created an Addthis Button and this one that i will create is AddThis Toolbox

thanks for replying guys, after many attempts, I figured out a way to display the buttons in a row and choose some services to be displayed next to the + icon. Here's what you gotta do:

- open the shareaddthis.php file with a text editor, this file is located in the /public_html/mambots/content folder
- go to line 56 and do the following changes:

Code: [Select]

        $out = '<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">';
$out .='<a class="addthis_button_compact" href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250'.$str_uname1.'">Share this with your friends!</a>'."\n";
/*$out .= '<img src="'.$mainframe->getCfg('ssl_live_site').'/images/M_images/addthis.gif" alt="share" align="middle" style="border:0;" />'."\n";
$out .= "</a> \n";*/
$out .= '<a class="addthis_button_facebook"></a>';
$out .= '<a class="addthis_button_twitter"></a>';
$out .= '<a class="addthis_button_myspace"></a>';
$out .= '<a class="addthis_button_stumbleupon"></a>';
$out .= '<a class="addthis_button_email"></a>';
$out .= '<a class="addthis_button_live"></a>';
$out .= '<a class="addthis_button_print"></a>';
$out .= '</div>';
if (!defined('ADDTHIS_JS_LOADED')) {
$out .= '<script type="text/javascript" src="'.$mainframe->secureURL('http://s7.addthis.com/').'js/250/addthis_widget.js'.$str_uname2.'"></script>'."\n";
define('ADDTHIS_JS_LOADED', 1);
}
return $out;
}

This changes will show a good array of social networks and also the + icon of Addthis, you can take out the services you don't want, just deleted the line referring to the service, example. $out .= '<a class="addthis_button_stumbleupon"></a>';

you can find a complete list of the services and how to call them up from here: http://www.addthis.com/services/list use the code as a class in order to see it appear.

I hope this brings a solution for anyone that wants more than just the + icon of Addthis in their content. Maybe an option in the bot parameters will be nice for next Elxis version, don't worry webgift, I know you must be busy doing some nice stuff, keep up the good work.
