Social share/Vote button

Posted by & filed under Joomla, Joomla Extention.

Update 03.09.2010: This extension got approved in JED. If you like this extension pls write reviews and vote in JED.

All share count or “Social share/Vote button” is a joomla plugin that shows social share or vote button in articles. It contains all popular social network or share/bookmark sites that supports button/badge for vote/share. I was inpired by the wordpres plugin “Digg Digg WordPress Plugin” which I am using in my blog for many days.

Social share/Vote button

Features

Social Share/Vote Button plugin supports the following social network:

  • Facebook
  • Fbshare.me(Alternative for facebook share)
  • Twiter
  • Topsy(Alternative for twitter share)
  • Tweetmeme(Alternative for twitter share)
  • Diggg
  • Delicious
  • Stumble
  • Google Buzz
  • Yahoo Buzz
  • Dzone
  • Facebook Like
  • Flattr
  • Reddit
  • linkedin

Social Share and Vote button now supports other components!

  • Content (com_content)
  • K2(com_k2)
  • Quickfaq (com_quickfaq)
  • Eventlist(com_eventlist)

Button positions

  • Before Article
  • After Article
  • Left Aligned
  • Right Aligned

Button Visibility and Control

  • Control Each button’s visibility(Show/Hide)
  • Exclude for specific section
  • Exclude for specific category
  • Exclude for specific menu id
  • Show/Hide on front page
  • Sort button as weight

There are options to show before content, after content, left float, right float

Again, there are options to show/hide button for home page/front page, category view, section view or for any sepecific category whatever you need.

I am working to sort by weight to show buttons oder as you need. Also will add redit. If you have other ideas let me know. Btw, adding lazzy load like the digg-digg plugin of wordpress will be cool, hope to add in my joomla plugin.

How to install

  • Download the plugin as zip
  • Install from joomla admin panel like any other joomla extension
  • Go to plugins page and “publish” the plugin
  • Configure the plugin as you need
  • Change order of that plugin for all content plugins to change the plugin action order so that buttons show near content perfectly…
  • that’s it baby!

I was wondering if there was a quick and easy way to add the button positions BOTH before & after the content at the same time.

Thank you, can't wait for the next update :)

Thanks

Hey there, I have to admit this is by far the best plug in for social buttons so well dont mate. I do however have a problem with one of my sites that it will not down load so I was wondering if you could shed some light on this for me.

The error is as below.

It was not possible to copy the selected file.
JInstaller::install: Failed to copy file: /home/mjjcommu/public_html/site/tmp/install_4d028cb2589d1/socialshareandvotebutton/delicious.png to /home/mjjcommu/public_html/site/plugins/content/socialshareandvotebutton/delicious.png

I get that when I am trying to upload in Joomla via the install functions

Many thanks.

Ger: Sorry…. I noticed the weight setting just now. I changed the weight for facebook to 50 and left twitter @ 100. Now facebook always comes first…This really is the best plugin around for sharing on social networks.Perhaps one idea for an enhancement. When all activated buttons are set to ‘compact’ you could reduce the height so the white space between the buttons and the article text will disappear.

Reduce height for compact mode is a nice idea., thank, will change in next update

Fabian: Great plugin. Since you were asking for ideas…I would love to be able to put the buttons more flexible on my homepage (eg. somewhere inside a div box that fits my design) rather than just above or below (right left) the article <img src="http://manchumahara.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley"/>Just a suggestion. Cheers

Fabian this is a content type plugin , but I can make it more flexible like adding shrotcode in content like wordpress. Can you give me more clear idea what you want ?

Hi,

Thx! Super plugin.
One thing I don't understand; On one article the facebook share button comes before the twitter button, on the same page, the next article might be other way around (first twitter, then facebook see my website's home page).... Seems to be pretty random.

Hi!
I really love how clean and simple this plugin looks! Thanks! One question: When I click on the Facebook share button the auto filled-in text is the name of an article I had names my homepage article a long time ago. I have since deleted that file and made a new article. Somehow it still sees that old file-name. Where is this coming from?
Thanks!

Luca: Hi,thank you for this brilliant plugin, it works great!I have a small question: I use the “facebook like” function after my article.In two days I have had 83 “people like this” and it seems a very large number compared to the amount of visits to the article.Is it possible in any way that the counter is exagerated or there is a way to check?thank you,kind regards,luca

Hi Luca, I think when we share any article in facebook and people like that link it also count the like count though I am not sure. Let me know if you find any better answer about it.

Luca
Luca

Hi,

thank you for the quick response. So basically if someone shares the link on their facebook page, than someone clicks this link inside facebook, it will count 2 on my website?

I'll do more tests and tell you if I find a more precise answer.

Thanks again,

Luca

I have identical problems with those of Flavius and can only use Facebook share and Good buzz (in compact mode). Any tweek beyond that will result in an unpredictable error. I found something like a bug in the source code on line 620 and 621 of ocialshareandvotebutton.php . The order for the strings there should have been in the order of 621 and 620. I have not had time to study the business logic of your code as I am not yet a Joomla coder.

Flavius: I am using the plugin and have yahoo-buzz, google-buzz, twitter and facebook in compact view before the content.
1. the twitter button doesn’t show – it apears as text link under google-buzz.
2. the twitter text hyperlink will not open in new tab/window.
3. if I use twittememe it will show in normal view not compact view
4. the counter of facebook is reseting on refresh.http://i55.tinypic.com/2w3nst4.jpg

If gbuzz is the last one, it will mess up the page format/structure.

Hi Flavius, I check the plugin with default template always with my bzness site. Here it's working fine. But I will give another testing on next weekend. I think i need test it with different templates and combination. Thank you for your test result and use.

Dear Northern Lights,
I checked Identi.ca , it doesn't support such status update badge like twitter , facebook etc. Only one thng I got it is Identi.ca badge to show latest status for a particular user but I will try to study on this topic more to add something for ideanti.ca

Thank you for your suggestions.

When I set StumbleUpon to show after content, it is showing before content.All of the rest of them appear after content, but not Stumble Upon.REQUEST
An option to turn off the icons on the category/section description.

I have updated the plugin to v1.4, pls dowload and install again. StumbleUpon position problem solved. for section/category show/hide pls check plugin configuration, this option was added in earlier version. I always check with default template. I can not give suppot for diff template because it's a design issue, I have followed the standard way to place the button in artciles.

Any kind of new bug report or feedback is welcome. ALso request you guys to write bad/good feedback on jed, that will inspire me more.
