A lot of people seem to be having trouble running the Gregarious plugin, though it’s working fine on my site - or is it? This is just a test to see if the plugin picks up the referrer as Digg. If it doesn’t, that means that the change at Digg was big enough to warrant another overhaul of the plugin. Since Gregarious is one of the more advanced plugins, it checks back to Digg to ensure that the referral was really from the Digg page and not from a comment. Could this be the cause of the complaints, as Digg just went through another update? If the Digg badge shows at the bottom of this post, it’s proof that the plugin still works. Otherwise, I need to bury my head in code again to make a few more changes to this social bookmarking plugin.
So, is it working?

Gregarious has always worked perfectly for me. Never had any problems with it validating the referring URL. Running WordPress 2.1 on Apache/2.0.54 (Unix) PHP/4.4.2 mod_ssl/2.0.54 OpenSSL/0.9.7e mod_fastcgi/2.4.2 DAV/2 SVN/1.3.2.
Also have it running fine on Apache/2.2.4 (Unix) PHP/5.2.0 with WordPress 2.1.

wp 2.07, php 4.4.4
Anyway, first I activated share this, all was well. Then I activated gregarious and got a fatal error. Something about the gregarious class be re-instantiated I think. Following this, I couldn’t even log back into WP, even after restarting apache. Had to delete the gregarious folder. All is well again. except I don’t have your cool plugin.
Upgraded from 2.06 to .07 one day before 2.1 released

Randy, Share This is bundled with Gregarious. If you activate Share This, then Gregarious, a fatal error is thrown. You just need to use Gregarious and you’ll get all the functionality of Share This as well.
I’ll be sure to add a check for conflicting plugins in the next release so this doesn’t happen again.

Thanks Ankur:
I got it to work — my mistake — i was in a hurry and didn’t read through all the docs (blame it on the boss). One thing. Even though I deactivated share-this, I actually had to remove the entire share-this folder from the plugins directory because I still got the fatal error mentioned previously. With only gregarious in the plugins folder, everything works great. Two other minor things: When placing the digg button on a template, the digg icon has a border. Added border=0 to line 1367 in gregarious.php. Also, when adding akst_share_link(); to a template, the resulting link fails to display the share-this icon, so I had to add that manually - no biggie.
Great work. Thanks.
