  Changing the location of the icons

  • Instead of attaching the buttons to the end of the post, you can also choose to work them into your template.
    You can do this simply by adding the following code anywhere you´d like the buttons to appear:
  • 
  • <?php if (function_exists('sociable_html')) {
        echo sociable_html();
    } ?>
  • 
  • You can also choose to show only a selected group of sites:
  • 
  • <?php if (function_exists('sociable_html')) {
        echo sociable_html(Array("Reddit", "del.icio.us"));
    } ?>
  • 
  • This will show these sites only when they are activated in Sociable´s settings. If you´re using this, be sure to disable any automatic additions to the content in the Sociable admin panel.

  Adding a site to Sociable

  If you want to add a site to Sociable, you´ll have to take these simple steps:

• • Make a 16x16 image, preferably with a transparent background, and copy it to sociable/images/directory.

  • Open sociable.php.

  • Find the array called $sociable_known_sites.

  • Copy / paste the code for another site (they´re in alphabetical order).

  • Change the value of favicon to the name of your image file.

  • Change the value of url to the submit URL for your social site. Do this by copying a submit URL from somewhere, and replacing the URL in there with PERMALINK and the story title with TITLE.

  • Save the file.

  • You´re done!

  Submitting a site for inclusion in Sociable

  If you would like to submit a site to be included in Sociable, you´ll have a far better chance if you actually add the site yourself, test it, and then send us the following:

• • A 16x16 icon for the site.

    
    

  • The two lines of code you added while following the steps above.

    
    

  • This saves us a lot of time since we cannot keep track of all the services out there to include them on the plug-in.

    
    

  • Finally, submit this on the forum.
