Thank you webgift

Until to be published on EDC i would like to inform you that the usage of the plugin is very simple, inserting into articles the textual form {addthis}{/addthis}

Into parameters of the plugin you have to set once the pubid which you get it by creating account to addthis.com. The pubid is unique and looks like this ra-5550e68032b32ad9

At share tools of addthis.com you will find various options of share and bookmark selecting that one you prefer and you have to activate it. Of course you can change it in future any time as you like.

Finally the plugin is available for free download here

At share tools of addthis.com you will find various options of share and bookmark selecting that one you prefer and you have to activate it. Of course you can change it in future any time as you like.

I've been testing the plugin and it works fine if from addthis.com i select the "Original Sharing Buttons" option. But if i select "Sharing Buttons" (Select your own services and customize the order)... nothing shows up.

Has anyone tested it yet?

[nikos]

You are right and thank you for information about.

As it is now the plugin works only for "Original Sharing Buttons".

So this which i wrote in my previous post "... various options of share and bookmark selecting that one you prefer and you have to activate it. Of course you can change it in future any time as you like." is not right, because now i saw that in some other options, the div class is different and i have to make changes to the plugin, in order to cover all cases.

I ve asked from Elxis Team to unpublish the plugin from EDC until to complete it and to make all necessary tests.

I put a note on EDC listing that the plugin works only with Original Sharing Buttons.

Thank you datahell 

I ve already updated the plugin with 10 total tools and i am testing it on my site.

Now the user by plugin parameters can select the following tools:

A. Share Tools

1. Original Sharing Buttons
2. Sharing Buttons
3. Responsive Sharing Buttons
4. Jumbo Share Counter
5. Custom Sharing Buttons


B. Follow Tools

1. Custom Follow Buttons
2. Horizontal Follow Buttons
3. Vertical Follow Buttons

C. Recommended Content

1. Horizontal Recommended Content
2. Vertical Recommended Content

If you see now here is running the A2 tool which rentasite asked for.

I am thinking to create also and an addthis module to give the option to users to display in their sites those tools that are not running into articles

I will inform you when all will be ready.

I completed the new version 1.1 of addthis plugin for Elxis 4.x

Into plugin parameters you set only the pubid and the generic syntax of the new version which you use into articles is {addthis}addthis_tool{/addthis}

By the guided input of Elxis you can easily select from a list the tool which you like (supports all the above i mentioned in my previous post). There you can read and a Help how to use it.

By your addthis account you can activate into site of www.addthis.com more than one tools which you can display them into articles, giving you the possibility to display different tools, as you like. But you can not display more than one tools into the same article.

As example look here where i used the "Original Sharing Buttons" tool and here i used the "Sharing Buttons" tool.

Note: I could not test the behavior of the plugin for those addthis tools that require pro account but from the provided code i suppose that the plugin will support them.
