Social bookmarking allows users to submit, comment on, and “promote” websites. The Gregarious plugin supersedes the Digg This Reloaded Plugin and allows for seamless integration between your Wordpress Blog and social bookmarking sites such as Digg.com, Del.icio.us, Reddit and more. Requiring no editing of templates, and a simple point and click interface, Gregarious is the ultimate social bookmarking plugin for Wordpress.
Due to time constraints, I cannot guarantee support for this plugin.
Not compatible with WP 2.5.
Dynamic Buttons
I’m Diggin’ it
Gregarious uses the brand new Digg APIs to generate a dynamic ‘Digg It’ button on your post that shows the number of Diggs and allows the user to Digg post. No manual work is needed - the plugin knows when a post has been ‘dugg’ and sticks the button onto your post with no effort, leaving you free to write quality content. That’s right. Just activate it, and watch your traffic shoot through the roof.
Have you reddit?
Another great social bookmarking site that features dynamic buttons is Reddit. Again, integration is no hassle. Just turn on the Reddit button from the Gregarious options page, and you’re laughing. No manual labor, no long and complicated PHP scripts, and no coding. One click and you’re away!
More Features
Wow, could Gregarious possibly have more features? You betcha! As well as merely adding Digg and Reddit buttons, Gregarious has the following nifty additions:
General Features
- Complete admin interface with options regarding all configurable aspects of plugin including styles, display options (show on post, page, home, etc.) Digg link style (button, image or text link), and more.
- Check for updates automatically so you’re never out of date.
- No template customizations or coding knowledge necessary as the plugin handles everything for you, and then some.
- Choose the position of the buttons. Do you want them before or after your post content?
Digg related features
- Uses the brand new Digg API to generate dynamic buttons.
- Gregarious automatically knows if your post has been “Dugg” using DiggDetect™.
- You decide what to show for posts which have been Dugg or those which are yet to be Dugg. You can customize the links, show a dynamic or compact badge, an image - or choose not show anything.
- Configurable “What’s this?” link, so your users know exactly what they’re up against.
- Ease up on the bandwidth by using a text link instead of an image or Digg button if you need to.
Reddit integration
- Choose between three styles of buttons, from the eye-candy laden to the minimalistic.
- Customize the position of the button easily from the options page.
- Easy to use with no work required.
Other social bookmarking sites
- Submit your post to heaps of bookmarking sites with Alex Kings’s Share This plugin built right into Gregarious (it comes integrated - no further installation needed).
- Take advantage of further customization with options for Share This in the Gregarious admin panel.
- Add, remove, edit or rearrange social sites for the Share This plugin - an indispensable feature.
Download
Version 1.9.xx
Gregarious can be downloaded from the WordPress.org Gregarious page. (The link below points to the download from that page)
Installation and Usage
How do you install Gregarious, the ultimate social bookmarking plugin for Wordpress? It couldn’t be easier. After downloading the package, Unzip. Upload. Activate.
The options menu should show up in your administration under Options -> Gregarious. Here’s a screenshot:
If you wish to add social sites for Share This, you’ll need to CHMOD the akst.js and akst.css files to 777. Don’t worry if you don’t know what this means or can’t do this - Gregarious has alternative methods to cope.
Configuration
The plugin will work fine immediately after activation, but you may want to change some options to customize it. Gregarious can be configured from the Options tab of the administration panel in Wordpress. Just click on the Gregarious Options link. As mentioned earlier, there are a plethora of options and choices available, so feel free to tweak it to your needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
I installed and activated Gregarious, but the Digg button / Share link isn’t showing on my posts.
Gregarious uses different modules to provide all the features for your site. The PostBadge
module is the one that appends content to your posts. If there isn’t anything showing on your posts, make sure that the PostBadge module is turned on, as well as the modules for whatever features you want. (For example, the Share This module shows the Share link, and the Digg button module shows the Digg button or link). Activating a module will also add options to the Gregarious options page so you can configure it.
The Share This link takes me to a separate page. How do I get the popup dialog to show?
To show the Share This
popup on your site rather than linking to a Share This page, you need to ensure:
- That there is a
<?php wp_footer(); ?>call somewhere in the footer.php file of your template. - That there are no javascript errors on your site (due to your template or theme).
- That there is a
<?php wp_head(); ?>call somewhere in the header.php file of your template. And that you’re either running WordPress 2.1 or above or have prototype.js referenced in theGregarious no longer requires prototype.js<head>section of the page.
Generally, it’s the lack or misplacement of the <?php wp_footer(); ?> call that causes the popup not to show. If you still can’t get it working, ask me.
Template Integration
Currently, Gregarious’ feature-set includes various template tags that have been set up to be easy to use and integrate into any theme. Whether you’re a WordPress theme developer, or interested in more precise integration of social bookmarking to your blog, ask me about it.

Leave a commentThe plugin looks really cool, so I tried installing it. After I activated it on the admin page, my site stopped working, and began returning a incomplete page. I looked at the apache2 logs and this is what I found:

What’s weird is that there is no variable $end in the script. Could there be any other plugins interfering with Gregarious, especially other social bookmarking plugins?

Hey man I’m having trouble with your plugin I was hoping you could help me.
See I run Fatadam.com and was wondering how do I position the before digg this item and the digg number button after where I want.
Ya see on my site I want the Digg This story near the other digg this story which I plan to remove later because I’ve been using notable (another plugin)
Thanks for your help if any.

revealed by Adam on December 6, 2006 6:34 pm | Permalink
Adam, to position the plugin manually in your template, go the options page for Gregarious. Under Auto-append, uncheck “Enable automatic append of links to posts.” Then you can position the plugin somewhere in your template using the following php code:
<?php show_digg_button(); ?>
and the button will show up. Most settings from the options page will still be applied.
To change the image of the Digg button you can go to the “Undugg posts” section of the Digg.com settings and change the URL for “Button to use (if Digg option is button)”.
Hope that helps.
(btw, you need to upgrade to version 1.5.1 for this. Download by clicking check for updates through your options page or from the above download link).
disclosed by Ankur on December 7, 2006 7:23 am | Permalink
Do you anticipate adding the fine tuning (auto-append) for the “Share this” component of the plugin. It would be good if I could easily keep both off of pages with a click of a box.

Hi Darrell,
If you want to stop the links showing on your pages, simply find this section in the options page:
You can uncheck “Individual Wordpress pages” and you’re set.
voiced by Ankur on December 8, 2006 3:19 pm | Permalink
Ankur,
I have that checkbox unchecked already. When it’s enabled I see both Digg button and the “Share This Story” link…when I uncheck it, the Digg button goes away but the sharing link still appears.
stated by Schulte on December 9, 2006 12:08 am | Permalink
Ankur,
I see you have, starting on line 52, a commented out section that appears to handle some of the controls for the sharing link…would it make sense to just include that within the digg_button_hook so that wherever digg button goes…either before or after the content, so goes the share link? You wouldn’t need to re-use the same code twice.

I’m slowly adding Share This into the Gregarious plugin, so they act as one. When that happens, there will only be one content hook. There is the problem of updates to Share This though, and how they’ll be integrated into the plugin at a later date.

professed by Paul Theodoropoulos on January 9, 2007 4:33 am | Permalink
heh. i figured it out. the only way the icon gets toggled is if you go to digg, then follow the digg link back to the article. since it had been something like a week since the article had been submitted to digg - and it wasn’t terribly popular - nobody had followed the link on digg.com back to it. once i did so, the link changed. now it makes sense. so…..never mind! ;^)

recorded by Lisa on January 16, 2007 9:26 am | Permalink
Ok, I’m back.
Just to make it clear, I’m using Gregarious on this site with just the Digg button turned on and it’s working 100%. If my Digg button works, there’s a serious problem with the plugin. If you’re not getting it to work, tell me what’s happening, and if you’ve done that, please wait till I sort through all the comments that have been posted while I was gone.
For all the people who are getting the submit to Digg link perpetually displayed (ie. The button with the number of Diggs is not showing up), there are two things that could be wrong. Number 1 is that no one has clicked the link from the Digg page for your site. For example, this page is Dugg http://digg.com/tech_news/WP_Plugin_Gregarious_the_ultimate_SMO_plugin so unless someone goes to that page and clicks the big link at the top, Gregarious can’t pick it up. (It just has to happen once, mind you. After a visitor from Digg is detected, the link is stored and further referrals are ignored).
If you’re certain that the plugin is not picking up the referral, post up the link to your site and to the Digg page and I’ll try to see what’s going on. Most likely reason is something like Digg Defender or Digg This Reloaded being active which interfere with Gregarious.
Also, please note that Gregarious needs to be under wp-content/plugins/ with the ‘gregarious’ folder name remaining unchanged.
Sorry for all the confusion, I’ll be clearing everything up shortly.

Spencer, your site’s Digg buttons seem to be fine now: http://cspencerbeggs.com/clips/
It may have been the changes at Digg that messed up the graphics for a short while, but everything looks fine now.
Matthew Willis, only the Digg button will show up unless you tick the options to display the other links in the admin options page. The red “ERROR: Not Found” message to my knowledge was only during the period when Digg was upgrading. As I said before, if the Digg button on this page is showing, it should show on yours too.
Kirk, the default Digg button will keep showing until there is a click from the Digg page to your post. When this happens, the plugin will detect the referrer as Digg and show the badge from then on.
recorded by Ankur on January 18, 2007 8:09 am | Permalink
John, you asked
Well, once someone clicks on the link from Digg to your post, the referrer is detected and the badge is shown from then on (the referrer detection is only needed once before the badge is shown at all times.)

hey, great plugin. this is a future improvement suggestion: when you uncheck “When post hasn’t been dugg, show submit to Digg option” the digg button only appears once the story has been linked (this is good!) BUT the reddit button appears either way. can you add the ability to hide the reddit button unless the story is submitted? this is the one thing preventing us from displaying this plugin on the front page (we only have it turned on for individual posts right now). thanks!
stated by andy cochrane on January 18, 2007 2:53 pm | Permalink
Andy, as far as I’m aware, Reddit does not provide the API required to do this. This may be possible in the future once the developers at Reddit expand their service.
Currently all that’s available is http://reddit.com/buttons
reported by Ankur on January 18, 2007 3:55 pm | Permalink
what if you add an option to hide the reddit icon if the score is 0 points for the item? that would cover hiding unsubmitted and old reddits in one fell swoop!
we don’t want to clutter up the front page with even more icons, but at the same time having the digg/reddit buttons appear when the post is active on one or both of those services would be great.

Kevin Swan, I think the Digg button breaks when the article is in more than one category. It’s an error in Digg’s API itself so there’s nothing we can do unfortunately.
Rob, this works with WP 2.1 but I think it wont work with any caching plugin. (Referral detection is not static code. It needs to run on the backend which caching stops). If you want me to write another plugin which does work with caching, I can, but it will require manually filling in the Digg link for each post.

To remedy the problem, FTP into your hosting site and delete the “Digg This” folder from the wp-content/plugins directory.

Josh, unfortunately Digg have not updated their API to work with videos. This is completely out of our hands at the moment. The most you can do is turn off the Digg button for that post.

I have figured out how to fix the Error message that appears when videos are dugg. However, I need some help integrating this with Gregarious. At the moment the code would look something like this:
digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/videos/CATEGORY/POST_SLUG’;
For the button to work, all that needs to be changed is this:
digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/videos_CATEGORY/POST_SLUG’;
That’s right. This simple change between a slash and an underscore will fix the problem. Now, how do integrate this with gregarious?

Sorry for the double comment, but I just fixed one of my problems. I put the digg button at the top. Now, how to get that reddit button in there…
announced by Josh on February 7, 2007 7:42 am | Permalink
Josh and Dave C.,
Both answers are in the PostBadge code (Under the PostBadge tab). The Digg button can be moved relative to the content by shifting the ‘<%DIGG%>’ tag before or after the ‘<%CONTENT%>’ tag.
The Reddit button is sort of an Easter egg / hidden feature for now, as I’m still thinking of the best place to put it in the options page. You can use the ‘<%REDDIT_X%>’ tag, replacing the ‘X’ in REDDIT_X with a number between 1 to 3 (to choose the style of the button). For example, ‘<%REDDIT_3%>’ shows a Reddit button with a graphic and up and down vote icons.
divulged by Ankur on February 7, 2007 1:30 pm | Permalink
For some reason, we are not getting the PostBadge but are getting the error not found message.
We have tried going to Digg and back again from that link, and still no badge. See the following 2 links for what I am talking about:
http://www.byron-harvey.com/2007/02/05/super-bowlthats-a-wrap/
http://digg.com/football/Super_Bowl_That_s_A_Wrap
Also, in one of your earlier replies, you advised someone to go to that section of the options. Our question would be - where do you find that section of the options? For the most part we can’t find any part of the options where we can actually set anything; everything seems to be static with nothing to click and/or set.
reported by Paul on February 7, 2007 7:49 pm | Permalink
Paul, the options page definitely shows up in Firefox, and it should work in all the major browsers - except Opera.
For people like yourself who (I’m assuming) aren’t using Firefox, and may have trouble viewing the options page, I’m writing an alternative version without all the flashy effects. (Use FF if you want to configure the plugin for now.)
For the error, the Digg button is trying to load the URL http%3A//www.digg.com/search%3Fsection%3Dnews%26s%3DSuperbowl+Commercial
To rectify this (until I release the next update in which the /search links will be detected and rejected by default), simply edit the the post, then remove the “DiggUrl” custom field. Change it to http://digg.com/football/Super_Bowl_That_s_A_Wrap
I’m just adding the finishing touches to the latest update of Gregarious on my local server. I assure you that it will see an end to all error pages. Videos now work, and the regular expressions pick up referrals from /search or /upcoming and prevent it from being added as the Digg URL. And of course, it’s using the new Digg official API.
So, to fix your problem, 1) delete the custom field of DiggUrl / fix it to the right link. and 2) wait for the next update to Gregarious which will bring an end to all these errors.
I’ll be posting up the update in a few days (if not tomorrow)

Thanks Ankur, much appreciated.
As far as FF though, I definitely use it (FF 2.0.0.1) I have several other browsers installed that I use for testing, but FF is definitely my browser of choice. Which leaves me still baffled on the Options…

Do you get any javascript errors?
stated by Ankur on February 7, 2007 9:19 pm | Permalink
Everything displays, it just doesn’t do anything. The only fields I can find that will do anything are the PostBadge Code and the unDugg Posts selector and the Dugg Posts selector.
Using the error console in Web Developer, I got the errors you can see in this screen shot - http://steelerdirtfreak.com/images/gregarious-screen.jpg
JS really confuses me so unless I know specifically what I need to do, I tend to shy away from messing with the code.

I’ve got two questions:
How can I get the reddit button to line up with the digg button?
Is there a way to have the digg button animate the way it used to, or will it always now redirect to the digg page?

In the blog I am working on, they often post embedded movies from youtube. The problem is that the share-this box will not properly show up over any Flash (embedded movies) on the posts below. Is there a way to fix this? Is there a way to use DHTML to move the content below down so it does not overlap? Thanks for your time. This is a great plugin.

Ankur, thanks for the response to my question about positioning the button. It sort of worked. The button is now before the content, but it stands alone between the post title and the content. Is there any way to wrap the content around the button?

Works great on my site, but I hate the little dig man favicon/icon. . the plain old digg it badge is better. .
recorded by Todd on February 8, 2007 6:14 am | Permalink
Oh, as the Digg site opens a new tab when the user clicks on an article, so should your digg it button open a new tab and not take the visitor off the site.
proclaimed by Todd on February 8, 2007 6:15 am | Permalink
Paul: try reuploading all the files (specifically the .js files). Someone else had a similar problem, and they found that they had not uploaded the files correctly. (Also make sure the text is uploaded in ASCII and the images in binary, though your FTP client should really do that for you)
Josh:
To line up the buttons, you need to use some CSS.
In the PostBadge Code, wrap both the tags in a div tag and usediv style="display: inline"Making them display inline should make them line up next to each other.
In your PostBadge Code, wrap the buttons in a div tag with
style='float: left; margin: 4px'. You can change ‘left’ to ‘right’ depending on where you want the button, and the margin is just the amount of space you want around the button. Anything from 2 to 8 pixels will probably look ok.In regard to the Digg button just animating and not leaving the site, I think Digg stopped that because of potential abuse (ie. you but a Digg button on your site for some other Dugg page).
Bart:
If you uncheck the option which appends prototype.js under the “Share This” tab, and make sure you’re not getting prototype.js added by any other plugin, then the ‘Share This’ link will take the user to a separate page where they can submit your site to social bookmarking sites. However, if you still want the popup, try changing
document.getElementById('post').style.margin-top+=200;where ‘post’ is the id of the div that wraps your post.Dave C:
You bet! Head over to the PostBadge Code. As I said to Josh, you need to wrap the Digg button in a div tag with the attribute
style="display:inline"style="float: left; margin: 4px". By default the Digg tag is wrapped in a div with the class of “diggWrap”. You can simply add the style to it.Todd:
I completely agree! For now, the answer is as simple as heading into “Digg Options” and changing the value for what to show for unDugg posts. You can change the URL of the image, add HTML, or change it to show nothing until the post has been Dugg. In the next update, as I’ve mentioned earlier, you’ll be able to show the Badge to get the user to submit the post!
For opening the link in a new tab, the Digg button is under the control of Digg.com so it would be a good idea to ask them to run a check to see if the logged in user has set up his preferences to open links in new windows, then write the link in the Digg button accordingly.
I think that just about does it. If anybody has any more questions, feel free to write.
Phew!

Slight (intermediate) update posted. If you’d like to get a handle of the new Digg API, you can try this out. The only major differences are the selection of a background color on your dynamic Digg button, the “compact” Digg button and being able to use the Digg button as the submit link. If the current features are working for you, feel free to wait until a few more nice settings are added otherwise download it here.
(The Digg Options page is now a fork that lets you go to two different places. You can change the settings or choose the badge style.)

Could you explain how those mails are being sent, and what I can verify to check whats wrong?
Otherwise a very neat plugin, thank you very much.
professed by ovizii on February 8, 2007 8:43 pm | Permalink
Ovizii, nice theme!
The plugin uses the wp_mail() function to send emails (which I think then uses the PHP mail() function depending on your WordPress config). If your WordPress emails are getting to you, then these should be as well. I’ve certainly used the email feature several times to test and it’s always worked.
Come to think of it, the wp_mail function may not be compatible with WordPress Mu. I’ll look this up, and see if there’s a work-around.

not certain, but i think i’m hitting a bug: when selecting what digg badges to use, the only way i can get the compact badge to show up is if i select it for both dugg and undugg posts. if i select compact badge for undugg posts and the standard badge for dugg posts, the standard sized digg badge is displayed for both.

Paul: That bug was very annoying for me as well, but I did get it fixed. The latest unstable release is here. Note that you need to CHMOD akst.js and akst.css to 777 for this release to be able to add / remove social sites for Share This.
Anthony: For the popup dialog to work, you need to make sure prototype.js is being appended. View source and see if it’s there. If not, make sure “Append prototype.js” is on under Share This.

Xav, it could be that no referrals from Digg have been detected. Check if the post is showing up under “Dugg Posts” in your options page. If it isn’t there, go to the individual Digg page for your post and click on the link so Gregarious can detect the referrer.
Paul, I’m glad it’s happening! More nifty features are being cooked up in My Secret Lab™. Release seems to be imminent.

Hi Ankur,
Yes, I did click on the digg link, and it still wasn’t able to fill out the url field. The “url” javascript variable is just empty, when it should be filled with the permalink for the post. The digg link inside the ShareIt script is set up just fine with the right URL.
I was able to temporarily fix it by setting the “DiggUrl” custom variable for the post to its permalink and it worked, but it’s a pain if I need to do this every time. I wonder why it’s not working. Also, when I had clicked on the digg link, Gregarious told me some posts had been dugg, but when I clicked on that link from the main page, it told me no posts had been dugg… odd.

Ovizii, the Yahoo icon is showing now.

I upgraded to RC 1 today and had some problems. I’ve been reading here trying to see if others have had the same issues, and I haven’t seen it.
I’m using the Redoable 1.1 theme. Before my upgrade, the Share This element showed up nicely in the post header with the author, tags, etc… Now it does not and I can’t seem to correct that. I was wondering if any function names changed that Redoable might be calling?
Second, I’ve had a post dugg, but the plugin doens’t seem to detect it. I clicked on the link from Digg to try to get it to appear to the plugin, but my site never responds. I shut down Gregarious and then the Digg link took me right to my site with no waiting. I’m wondering if the detecting script is getting hung?
I’ve done no hacking to my theme. It’s pretty much out of the box. Everything worked under the Beta version.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks for writing a great plugin.
Thanks,

Ovizii, if the content displayed at the bottom of your sidebar is a WordPress “page” that you’ve created, the Digg badge will be appended to that. If this is the case let me know and I’ll tell you how to stop it from showing.
Otherwise, it’s possible that the digg_button() function is being called somewhere in the template.
Todd, the akst_share_link() function has been renamed to share_this(). If you don’t want to have to edit your template, just add the following code to gregarious.php (I’ll add it to future releases):
The above code just redirects the old function to the new one.
Regarding the timeouts when a referral from Digg is detected, I had been experiencing that problem on my local server, but I did get it fixed before the release of RC 1. This site also handles Diggs perfectly. I’ll take another look and see what’s going on.

Hello Ankur,
the newsletter stuff on the right is created like this:
Newsletter:‘); echo $content; ?>
inside the template and the resulting code is this:
Newsletter:You may manage your subscription options from your profile.
Share This
I do not know why it shows the digg badge there, but anyway I forgot to mention a little information in my last post: the badge only shows up there when I am viewing a post or page, not on the homepage as I configured gregarius to not show them there, so the linki above does not show you an example, you will have to click on a post…
actually the badge shows twice, under the post as it should and under the newsletter portion of the sidebar…
P.S. Please do not forget about my other question regarding the similar posts showing up the html stuff…
written by ovizii on February 16, 2007 5:30 pm | Permalink
Ovizii: The latest version of Gregarious includes a setting at the bottom of the Dugg Posts lists to add ID’s of posts on which you do not wish to show the Digg badge. You can write the ID of the page that you’re including there, and it should be fine.
Regarding the related posts plugin, I answered the question up here but basically, the excerpts pulled by related posts are picking up the appended content. I’ll write a fix when I get time - more features on my Todo list.

ok, thx for putting my problem on your todo lsit, I appreciate that.
regarding the other issues with the badge, the newsletter plugin is this: http://subscribe2.wordpress.com/ and its actually not a page… its a widget

I’m not sure how this hasn’t been discussed yet, but with the latest version of gregarious, the AKST_FILEPATH seems to get set too late, and thus the stylesheet URLs are broken. I fixed this by putting the defines ahead of the “init_options” call in gregarious.php:
@define(’AK_WPROOT’, ‘../../../’);
@define(’AKST_FILEPATH’, ‘/wp-content/plugins/gregarious/’);
$gregarious->init_options();

To specify a different post to the Share This link, you can use the template tag share_this(’postID=1′) replacing ‘1′ with the ID of the post you wish to show. More documentation and extensibility is coming, but I’m just so busy these days!
A big thank you to Dean for picking up the unordered define statements. I’d reshuffled the functions to make it cleaner, but that obviously slipped through.
Keep the feedback coming!

Nathan: The Digg badges are showing an incorrect count on some posts because URLs for the upcoming pages are being stored, such as “http://digg.com/news/upcoming/page2″. This has already been corrected previously, so if you update to the latest version it shouldn’t happen anymore. To fix the posts that have been detected incorrectly, you need to edit them, then remove the DiggUrl custom field.

Changing the digg background color still seems to not be working. Also, you might want to use a class instead of and id for the sharethis link styling, as it causes validation errors when using id.

Oli: I think it’s something to do with your PHP and/or server setup. You can probably get it if you open gregarious.php and remove the line (around line 690) that says:
After deleting that line, just reset your options and everything should hopefully work. The only drawback will be that you’ll no longer be able to re-order your Social Sites from the options page; adding and removing will still work though.

Don’t know if this is just me again but it seems like with the latest release CURL interferes with auto detect. When I jump from the Digg submission page to the post, it hangs forever and never auto-detects the Digg. If I turn CURL off, it works just fine.

Same thing seems to be happening for me. If it’s reproducible, it can be fixed.
Although to be honest, I’ve spent so much time on getting the regular expressions perfect that I don’t think there’s much chance of having incorrect URLs detected anyway. CURL can be turned off very safely until and unless it’s ever found that incorrect URLs are being detected and stored.

Not sure if anyone’s pointed this out before (too many comments for me to check through) but I’ve noticed a minor bug:
If someone posts a link to a page of my site in the comments of another article that has been Dugg, the plugin shows the amount of Diggs that the properly Dugg article.
See: My site, and the Digg article in question.
Currently my two-year old article is showing 1,424 Diggs, which is nice, but not really bringing me all that much traffic…

Hope someone can help me. I’ve been using gregarious and have encountered intermittent problems with digg submissions. Sometimes, it works and sometimes it does not (and now lately it never works). If a user clicks on the digg guy, they usually get this message: “This does not appear to be a properly formed hostname.” Sure enough, the domain name is not getting passed (but the title is getting passed). If a user clicks the Share This link, the article is reproduced as it should and the url is passed properly, but then upon submission, digg complains again: “This doesn’t appear to be a working link - please check the URL and try again.” Finally, I have found at least on instance in which the digg badge goes to the wrong url when clicked! e.g. the digg badge on this page: http://celebritypsychologist.com/?p=9 actually takes you to this page: http://digg.com/programming/upcoming
Any assistance is appreciated.

Andy: Edit the post, then delete the custom field called “DiggUrl”. Unfortunately, the process I had written to ensure this doesn’t happen is currently not working (The CURL thing that was being discussed just previously). I am trying to see what Digg.com might have changed and how Gregarious can adapt.
Randy: Similar thing applies. Edit post, then delete the custom field “DiggUrl”.
I’m rewriting the whole detection system to work with the new Digg API, so hopefully everything will work better then.

Randy: You’d probably need to upgrade to build 21. It was an un-announced update, but did fix the blank URL issues.

Thanks Ankur:
I installed 2.0rc1 and digg happily took the submission. Funny thing though, I went to update another site using gregarious 1.6 — and it too had returned to normal and was functioning fine without the update. The two sites share an IP, but no WP code. Maybe something on the Digg side or perhaps something on my server caused the bug?

I am using the “Redoable” theme. I installed Gregarious, and it runs fine on the home page. However, when I go to the “single post” or permalink page, Gregarious will insert two “digg this” buttons, one in the top right, and one at the bottom left.
I only want the one in the bottom left to appear, but even when I turn all the options off, the one in the top right will still be there. How can I remove this.
You can see an example of what I am talking about here: http://gamenation.neareverything.com/?p=66

Ahren, the Redoable theme calls the Digg button function in single_post.php. You can just remove the following PHP code from it:
The above code is found in the entry-content div in single_post.php (and also in single_post_alt.php if you’re using it).

@Ankur
Thank you for the response. However, when I remove the code that you tell me to, it takes out both of the Digg buttons. I would still like to keep the one in the bottom left. (I would like to get rid of the one in the top right)
Thanks!
proclaimed by Ahren on February 25, 2007 4:13 pm | Permalink
To keep the Digg button that is appended to your post content, make sure you’ve turned on PostBadge in your Gregarious options page, and that the <%DIGG_BUTTON%> tag is present in your PostBadge code.
(btw, I’m only seeing one Digg button on your site… the one after the content.)

At first I was having the same problem as the first post. Once the plugin was installed my whole page stopped working. I had to ftp to my server and delete the plugin files since I couldn’t just deactivate it. I read the INSTALL.txt and found that I hadn’t changed the permissions on akst.css and akst.js. Once I changed the permissions to 777 I had no problems with the plugin at all.
Thanks for the awesome plugin! Keep up the good work.

Thanks, Nick. I’m glad the problem is sorted out. I think it’s more likely that it was caused by the files not being FTPed properly the first time round as Gregarious runs even with akst.css and akst.js not CHMODed to 777. At least its working now.

Lou, do you have build 21? If you log into the options page, it’ll tell you if there’s a new version available. Otherwise, I’m not exactly sure what could be causing the problem; though my standard response is to blame the PHP version…
divulged by Ankur on March 1, 2007 3:28 pm | Permalink
Ankur, it shows in the gregarious.php file that the version is 2.0 RC1… I don’t know if that’s what you’re classifying as the build version 21, but it’s the first release candidate of the 2.0 branch, and i downloaded it twice from this page, so i dunno lol… if it’s the version of php… that could well be. My server has PHP version 4.4.2 and MySQL version 4.1.21-standard-log, if that helps.
posted by Lou on March 1, 2007 9:47 pm | Permalink
I managed to figure it out on my own. I have actually just disable gregarious (too much for my purpooses. Now I write this code into each post:
ID,'DiggUrl',true)) { ?>digg_url = ‘ID,’DiggUrl’,true)) {echo get_post_meta($post->ID,’DiggUrl’,true);} else {the_permalink();}; ?>’;
Each post has a cusom field labeled: DiggUrl. Fill that in with the Dig text to your article and it generates it perfectly. I wrap the ouput in an inviisible div and apply the positioning via CSS that way. In the the same vein each individual post gains a class if the DiggUrl = true and I restyle the post box so that it have a min-height sufficient to display the Digg button.

I’m having the same problem as Lou - I only have the google analytics plugin installed, and whenever I activate gregarious, it nukes my whole WP site - I can’t even access it when I type in the domain!
It sucks, because it seems like such a cool plugin.
spoken by sulleh on March 2, 2007 8:57 am | Permalink
Lou and Sulleh, I’ll investigate some of the plugins - especially the Google analytics one to see what could be wrong. Everything is working on my site and on my local server, but I’ll go through as many plugins as possible to see which one could possibly be clashing.
Spencer: While it is relatively easy to write your own custom Digg button into your theme, the statistics tracking and more advanced features that version 2.0 will have will be worth it I think. I’ll be releasing a lite version for people who just want the basic features, and there’ll be easy extensibility in the form of modules. More on that later.

Thanks Nick. Firefox is messing up because I think of a slight conflict with Google analytics. Actually, it works fine on my site, but I should be able to provide a simple fix.

A lot of people seem to faced with the same problem around lines 1542-1548.
Removing the comments around that area should hopefully make it work:
if (!function_exists('ak_decode_entities')) { function ak_decode_entities($text, $quote_style = ENT_COMPAT) { if (function_exists('html_entity_decode')) { $text = html_entity_decode($text, $quote_style, 'ISO-8859-1'); } else { $trans_tbl = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES, $quote_style); $trans_tbl = array_flip($trans_tbl); $text = strtr($text, $trans_tbl); } $text = preg_replace('~&#x([0-9a-f]+);~ei', 'chr(hexdec("\\1"))', $text); $text = preg_replace('~&#([0-9]+);~e', 'chr("\\1")', $text); return $text; } }Otherwise just delete the body of the function like:
if (!function_exists('ak_decode_entities')) { function ak_decode_entities($text, $quote_style = ENT_COMPAT) { return $text; } }And just a disclaimer: I didn’t write this function.

I would only recommend using RC2 in a testing situation. It works fine on my local server, but I haven’t tested it anywhere else at all.

To show the Reddit button, you need to add either “<%REDDIT_1%>”, “<%REDDIT_2%>” or “<%REDDIT_3%>” to your PostBadge code.
Buzzdroid, I’m sorry, but the conflict only occurs in Safari, so I’m not exactly sure what’s going on. You could add a simple javascript that disabled one of the two scripts if the client was using KHTML rendering.

I’m not quite sure what happened, but I was changing some of the settings and when I saved my changes, the entire plugin stopped working. All options disappeared and every plugin was disabled. Removing the plugin and installing it again didn’t work so I suspect there is a connection to the database.
Also, the forcing of the background colors is annoying. The badge does not change background colors. The Share This drop down menu tries to take it’s own colors. The Options page is nearly unreadable with the WP-Tiger admin page plugin. I would highly recommend making the forced coloring an option.

Okay, I reenabled the modules and saved and everything seems to be alright. I would recommend switching to using transparencies around the images (the white gaps are annoying). I sifted through the plugin and it looks like CSS is used to color everything so I might be able to modify it so it’s not so bad but that would be rather laborious.
The digg badge still refuses to change color though. Also, it seems I cannot get the default Social sites back. Is there any way to add all of the default Social sites back to the list without having to do it manually?

Resetting all the settings will do it. Otherwise, you can reset only that setting by turning on the AJAX module and navigating to yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/gregarious/modules/ajax.php?reset=social_sites
You can turn the AJAX module off after that if you so desire. The final release will have this functionality in a point-and-click fashion.
Hope that helps!

The Digg badge background color is changing for all blogs. However, due to Digg using non-transparent images in the button, the amount of background color you see in the badge is the maximum anyone can get at this point.

Hi Ankur, thanks for taking the time to look. Taking out the float: left fixed it, but I would really like to have my Digg button floating beside the main article, not above or below it. Any ideas on how to get this to work while keeping the icon on un-dugg articles?

i want to hide the gregarious icons from various posts/pages. i would think i just enter the ID #s into “hide on post IDs” input, and then hit the save button, but it doesn’t seem to have an effect. am i doing something wrong? also, to hide more than one, do you separate the IDs with commas or what? thanks.

I uploaded and activated Gregarious, but have two problems.
1) My users are getting the share this page rather than the popup, despite the fact that prototype.js is referenced in my template.
2) There is no options page (anyplace that I can find at least … I’d expect options to appear in Manage | Plugins).
Thanks for any help,

Carl: Try
<div style='float:left'><div style='position:absolute'><%DIGG%></div></div>Johnny: The “hide on post IDs” feature is offline for now while I make it faster and more efficient. Sorry for the delay, but I’ll get it done in the next day or so.
Bob: Your template doesn’t call the wp_footer() function. Because of this, the page is shown as the code for the popup isn’t loaded. Simply add <?php wp_footer(); ?> somewhere in your template to fix this.
The options page is located under Options | Gregarious.

Steve: The options should look like this.
Then, go to PostBadge, and make sure the <%DIGG%> tag is present.
Carl: I’ll experiment a little and see.
Edit: I get the image to show by using
<div style='float:left'><%DIGG%></div>on my test server. I think it must be some other CSS that’s messing with it.<%CONTENT%>

Johnny: I’ve added the updated the “don’t show on” feature and enabled it, so it’ll work now. You’ll need to make sure you wait at least half an hour from the time I make this comment as it takes a while for the WordPress download to reflect any changes in the SVN.

I’m getting an interesting error. I have my Digg badge being displayed at the top right of my posts using.
.diggWrap {
float: right !important;
margin-left: 5px !important;
}
The funny thing is that any link that is to the left (or right if I use float: left;) doesn’t work. I end up having to move the link to a different part of the post. This happens both when a post is dugg and even when it isn’t. An example can be seen on this page.
Any ideas/suggestions?
stated by Nick Young on March 20, 2007 8:47 pm | Permalink
Nick, are you using a Google Analytics plugin of any sort? I think it’s distorting the links on your site. I think if you simply add the Google Analytics code into your template, everything should be fine but since I am not familiar with this plugin, I’ll take a look at it to see what, when, where, why and how.
Edit: I think I’ve modified Gregarious enough to make it work on your site. Since I don’t exactly trust the WordPress plugins page, you can download it from here. Let me know if it works.

Hi there,
I can’t seem to get Gregarious to work properly. It is installed on my site and I can access it through the wp-admin options tab, but I cannot get “overview” to open and none of the available icons or options appear on any of my blog pages….
What did I do wrong?

I installed Gregarious yesterday. Everthing worked fine, then this morning all the buttons were gone and the Options showed no modules installed, also not allowing me to install any modules again. I deleted and reinstalled. When I go to configure, it states that “something wierd happened, report a bug.

Miles and Josh: Your sites are probably running Gregarious fine. Just tick the modules to enable them, and then click on the images at the top to navigate to different sections. (See this image). The icons at the top only show once you’ve enabled at least a few modules.
For those people that are getting “Something weird happening? Report a bug »”, that was supposed to be an interrogative sentence (a question) rather than a declarative one. It’s an indication that the plugin is working.
I’ve also fixed a bug where the modules suddenly turn off. This was due to WordPress and Gregarious using the same POST variable name.
The only real thing left to do is IE support in the options page. Not going to be easy, but I’ll try.

I just noticed; Gregarious is now in use on over 600 blogs. Pretty amazing.
stated by Ankur on March 21, 2007 1:16 pm | Permalink
First off, great work on the plugin. The first time I installed the plugin (2 days ago) it worked great, and was exactly what I was looking for. I made some theme changes to my wordpress blog yesterday, and now Gregarious doesn’t show the “Share This” link. I’m baffled as to what would have changed.
I’ve tried resetting the plugin, reinstalling the plugin, making sure I have a footer call in my theme (I didn’t change that). Nothing I try will make the plugin show up except for manually adding the ’share_this()’ function call into my theme. I just wanted to see if you had any other suggestions for me to try?
Thanks again

Nordin,
Make sure the <%SHARE%> tag is present in the PostBadge code (and that the PostBadge module is turned on). PostBadge is the mechanism by which buttons / links are appended to your post content, and without it on, you’ll be limited to using template tags.
Hope that helps.

Awfully sorry David (and Nordin). This time it’s actually my fault (unlike every other time where I’ve been able to blame it on the WordPress Plugins directory).
As a quick fix, just enter any random value under Digg Stats in the “dont show on” option. I’ve updated this in the latest version, but again, WP plugins takes ages to reflect changes…

Birdfreak: For the Reddit button, you need to enable the Reddit module. It’s not on by default. Then you need to add the <%REDDIT%> tag to your PostBadge code. As for the intermittent disabling, it should be fixed if you download it again.

The “Share This” part of the plugin isn’t working properly for me.
“Share This” appears only as text, without the green icon next to it. Further, I cannot get it to display as a pop-up form on the site; instead, it loads as a link to a separate page with all the social bookmarking sites listed. Is there a way to force it to display a form?
I’ve loaded the akst.js and akst.css in the {head} tags, meanwhile, and that hasn’t helped things.

The path to the .css was wrong, and I’ve since corrected it, so the green “Share This” icon is now appearing. But it is still a link to another webpage, not a pop-up form (like here), which is what I’m after most.

Dan: You may be using an older version. I fixed this bug a few days ago. If updating doesn’t help, let me know.
Nick: I think that’s a K2 bug… Or there could be a conflict between Gregarious and K2. Try disabling the AJAX module and see how you go.
Gary:
This could happen for a number of reasons. Firstly, you need to make sure that the prototype.js script is being added in your <head> tags. To make a more detailed observation I’ll have to take a look at your site to see what else could be happening.

Sorry Ankur, I just downloaded the version on your site here and installed it and I’m still getting the same issue.
I have one other question as well, if I place the bigg badges on the homepage in each posting, they all reference the main site http://www.thebbps.com instead of each individual story. Is there a way to change this?
Other than that I absolutely LOVE this plugin!

Turning off the AJAX module should fix it up. It’s a little theme-dependent right now, so I’ll have to fix it up a bit later.

“No such file or directory” seems to imply that K2 is missing some files, although if it works when Gregarious is disabled, that’s obviously not the case. If you don’t get it working by turning off the AJAX and Digg-Stats modules, I’ll have to experiment a bit with K2 myself.

I still can’t work out why a select few people are getting errors. Gregarious is continuing to work flawlessly on my blog, and on 700 others (up 100 from last week).
I’ve added an options page screenshot to the post above. I’m working on improving the updater module next - its probably quite important now considering how many features are being added to Gregarious. (You may have noticed the options page loads up super-quick now, and the animation is smoother). On top of that, I have a few surprises left to dish out. But first, the updater module needs a re-write.
reported by Ankur on March 25, 2007 11:50 am | Permalink
Figured out why so many people are having problems.
In the current distro, the gregarious.php adds:
@import ‘plugin_uri; ?>admin.styles.css.php’;
But that file doesn’t exist; styles.css however does.
Modified the line to read:
import ‘plugin_uri; ?>styles.css’;
And all is looking good now.

I’m kinda confused, do I need to edit my template to make this plugin work?
stated by yellow1912 on March 25, 2007 9:13 pm | Permalink
No template edits are necessary. Everything is laid bare in the options page. Adding content to your posts is handled via the PostBadge module.
So that’s a definite no.
If you’d like to delve a little deeper:
Other modules, such as the Digg, Reddit or Share This modules provide tags for the PostBadge module. You can add these tags to the PostBadge code in the options page to utilize their functionality. For example, the ‘<%DIGG%>’ tag will show a Digg button if you have the Digg module activated.
And further down the rabbit hole:
If you like to get your hands dirty and are looking for custom functionality, Gregarious is full of powerful template tags, functions and classes that’ll make short work of anything you’d care to throw at it. It’s a powerful system, and I’m quite proud of it.
announced by Ankur on March 25, 2007 9:28 pm | Permalink
For some reason it does not work correctly on my site, I think it’s because of the custom theme I use. Is there any specific tag in the template that
Gregarious relies on to work? If so can you please list them so I can check and see if this custom skin already has that.
Thank so much

The “pop-up” for Share This is displaying as a list on the bottom left of my page. The Digg mini badge is sometimes displayed as the Reddit badge, and I believe that the Options Panel is kind of difficult to understand if you are a layperson.
I am checking to see if there is a Prototype.js conflict on my blog, but for the moment I am not able to run Gregarious because it is causing some problems.
The problems that others are having may be due to how their blogs are set up. After I go through all of my scripts and site throughly, I will be able to determine if the problems I am having are contained solely in the plug-in.
I hope these issues can all be ironed out because this would make a fantastic plug-in, if I can get it to work correctly.

I receive the following errors after saving changes:
The file akst.css is not writable
The file akst.js is not writable
Also, when I turn off Digg, I still have the following showing on my actual web pages:
Share This
The latter part of the problem did not occur on initial setup this morning, but only began showing this afternoon.

Yellow1912, what do you mean by it doesn’t work? The plugin is activated… are the buttons / badges / links not showing up?
John, you have a very nice theme which could be part of the reason the Share This popup isn’t rendering properly.
Edit: Try downloading the latest build. I think you’ve got an older (broken) version.
Bruce, turning off Digg will turn off the Digg button, but you need to turn off the Share This module if you don’t want the Share This link to show. You can ignore the akst.js and akst.css errors if you don’t plan on using the Share This link or if you’re not going to add / remove sites in the Share This module. Otherwise, run a CHMOD on the akst.js and akst.css files and change their permissions to 777.

Yellow1912, thanks for the screenshots. That speaks loud and clear: javascript error. Are you using IE? If you use FireFox it should work. Otherwise, if you could let me know what javascript errors are being thrown, I could try and help you out.

Andrew, could I have a screenshot?
Carl, I fixed this bug a few builds ago, I think. When did you download Gregarious?
Now, about the $end error. I think I’ve figured it out. Some servers are configured so that closing and reopening the <?php ?> tags inside a function is not allowed. This is generally done to speed up PHP output, but it may be that its not 100% compatible with all configurations. Anyway, I’ve uploaded the newer version to the WordPress svn and the download should be fixed. From what I gather, the $end refers to the
?>tag, so it’s no longer present in line 729. If the error is not fixed, remember that you can still use Gregarious without the offending module (but a short note would be nice to let me know if it did/didn’t work)This should be interesting!

Since my last post, I was able to reset the social sites as per your advice.
I still think the colors on the site are rather atrocious. See my site for an example (s1n.dyndns.org). Do I have to manually edit the style.css file for them to work? Is there a better way to make the colors automatically match the theme without any heavy lifting?
Also, all of the badges and icons need to be touched up. They should be using transparency by now, since little white corners looks tacky. I fixed up the Share This icon to use transparency:
http://s1n.dyndns.org/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/gregarious/share-this/share-icon-16×16.gif
This should be done to all images so they fit better with non-light colored themes.

Also, I’m using the WP-Tiger admin panel plugin and the div that appears when you check for updates appears half-way off the screen (screenshot available upon request).
The link for that should also read something other than “hello” as well. “Check For Updates” seems somewhat logical.

reported by Rich on March 28, 2007 10:00 am | Permalink
Macbros: modules are like plugins for Gregarious. They provide the functionality. For example, if you want the Reddit button, you turn on the Reddit button module. The PostBadge module is the one that lets you add buttons to posts without having to edit your templates. I’m writing more detailed instructions etc. so there’ll be a more detailed explanation coming soon.
Jason: I’ll see if I can add dynamic styling to the next iteration of the Share This module. The icons have white backgrounds because the popup’s generally white and transparency takes slightly bigger file sizes. But mainly, I’ve just left it how Alex King distributed it. I’ll add transparency when I get time. I really don’t like doing repetitive tasks, but I guess it’s got to be done eventually.
The updater module reads “click here” now (since the last week, I think) because I’ve really just started writing it. I promise you it will be better designed when it’s finished. (And the yellow sticky is no longer present in current builds if that’s what you’re referring to when you mention the div that appears on checking for updates.)
Rich: Share This won’t work with WordPress 1.5.x. But you could just remove the appropriate bit of code in modules/share-this to get rid of the filling out the email form feature - if you know what you’re doing.
Andrew: Have you tried turning some modules on and saving the options? If you can’t get it working, upload a screenshot somewhere (like imageshack) and post up the link.

Hi Alvin,
The location and appearance of each item can be changed in the PostBadge section of the options page. In the PostBadge code, you use various tags to specify where you’d like everything to be. The PostBadge code I’m using has the Digg button before the content, and floating to the right like this:
You can also add tags for the Share This link, Reddit button, FeedFlare and more, depending on which modules you have activated. You can see which tags are available in the list of available tags above the textarea for the PostBadge code.
If you have any other requests, please feel free to get in touch.
Thanks.

Kevin: The get_permalink() function is returning blank, I think. I’ll look at this in detail later and see if I can reproduce it.
Nathan: Edit the post, then change the ‘DiggUrl’ custom field to the URL on Digg for your post.
Paul: So am I (baffled). I think it’s because linking to the homepage caused the Digg URL to be detected for each of the posts that were on the homepage. You’ll have to edit them and remove the custom ‘DiggUrl’ field. How should I combat this? Would having site.com/?dontdigg or something be a sufficient solution? Previously we could use file_get_contents or CURL to connect to Digg and see if the page being detected was the correct one, but they’ve blocked that access route now, for some unknown reason. Thus, we’re limited to regular expressions, which will allow any correct Digg.com page URL through. I’ll have to talk to someone at Digg about this, and to ease the pain a little, I’ll add functionality to mass edit saved Digg URLs in a future build.

The files located:

. . . are not up to date. I just downloaded from there today, and almost every file was out dated.
I downloaded the latest files from:
http://svn.wp-plugins.org/gregarious/trunk/
. . . I’m assuming these are the most current. I was having the same problems as many others with the modules icon not working and only the database button working, but no longer.
3.I’m was still having a problem with the database button. I was getting an error everytime I opened it. But as I wrote this post, somehow the database page started working! Great.
Anyways, I still have nothing showing at all on my posts, no “share this”, no “digg this”, nothing. Everything seems to be working fine now under the options menu, but still nothing showing on my posts. I have every option enabled, just so I can see what shows up, but still I have nothing. I give up! I’ve been working on this for almost 2 hours now. If you have a solution, I would appreciate it!

Hi Clifton.
WordPress plugins is indeed very slow in updating the files. This is especially frustrating.
I assume you’ve done this already, but for “digg” / “share this”, etc. to be appended to your posts, you need to have the PostBadge module activated, and the appropriate tags present in the PostBadge code.
Edit: I think Share This is having an adverse effect on your blog. Try disabling it and it should work.
Edit 2: It must be because the social sites have all been cleared. Try resetting the options while you have the Share This module enabled.

Matt: I gather you’re using PostBadge to append the Digg buttons to your posts. In that case, make sure you’re using the <%DIGG%> tag rather than <%DIGG_BUTTON%>. DIGG is dynamic and takes settings from the options page, while DIGG_BUTTON and DIGG_COMPACT will display the relevant style regardless of the setting in the options page.
John: It could be because your (excellent) theme is not calling the
wp_head();tag in the <head></head>, meaning the appropriate styles and javascript for Share This don’t get added.recorded by Ankur on March 31, 2007 11:26 am | Permalink
I have seen this happened several times and I cannot explain it’s behavior, but once in a while this plugin will disable all of the modules.

In a future version, cn you make it so we can have different PostBadges for the front page compared to individual blog posts?
I want to show a digg badge for all posts on the individual posts, but they slow down the front page quite a bit when there are several badges being brought up…
If we could set different badges, I can make the front page badge not show a digg button, or show a static digg link, but have the individual posts show a full digg badge.
I hope that made sense

Carl. I’m glad you asked. Hidden away inside Gregarious, is a powerhouse waiting to be unleashed. It’s already possible to do what you’re asking, and more. I’ve tried to provide an extensive API with Gregarious so anyone can use it however they wish. To show something different on the home page, I would recommend ditching PostBadge altogether and using template tags. For example:
if( is_home() ){ digg_button('dugg=image&undugg=text'); } else { digg_button('dugg=button&undugg=compact'); }If that doesn’t make sense, let me know and I’ll try and be clearer.

Ok Carl. No problem. To show the Digg button if you’re NOT on the home page, use the following code in your template where you want it to appear:
if( !is_home ){ digg_button(); }And turn the PostBadge module off, so it doesn’t append or leave only the <%CONTENT%> tag in the PostBadge code.
Just tell me specifically what you’d like to do and I can try and provide the code for it.

RT Cunningham, you can use CSS to line up the badges. Just set the style for each badge or link to “display:inline”. The “Share This” links have a class of “akst_link”, and the Digg button is wrapped by a div for class “diggWrap” by default. For the Reddit button, just wrap it in a div of class “redditWrap” or something. An example of the PostBadge code you can use:
Then use the following CSS in your stylesheet:
.akst_link, .diggWrap, .redditWrap { display: inline; }You can add space between them by either adding some ‘margin-left’ or ‘margin-right’ in the CSS or by adding spaces between them in the PostBadge code.
I’ve been looking for interactive badges for other sites to integrate into Gregarious, but so far I haven’t really encountered much. If you happen to find anything, I’ll be happy to create another module for it.
recorded by Ankur on April 1, 2007 5:53 pm | Permalink
I ended up adding vertical-align: top; to that CSS and then added:
.diggWrap, .redditWrap {
vertical-align: middle;
}
I swapped around the digg and reddit and every lined up almost perfect. The badge code above was off and messed me up for a minute (SHARE_THIS instead of SHARE and REDDIT_1 instead of REDDIT).
Other than that… perfect. Thanks!

Would someone mind posting complete uninstall instructions?
I’ve been having major problems, encompassing nearly everything showing up here in the comments, and I’m trying to make sure it’s completely removed so I can attempt an uninstall.
However, I’m very new to all of this, and I’ve been combing my site looking for references to Gregarious, and I’m coming up empty, but just deleting the plugin folder and reinstalling the newest version is causing no end of headaches.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

CT: Great! Sorry about messing up the tag names in my previous post. (They should still work, but are hidden from the options page)
Carl: The code should display a “submit to Digg” image and a “Share This” link only on the front page.
Chris: Increment the GREGARIOUS_BUILD (at the top of gregarious.php) then open the options page. It’ll tell you which build you’re running and reset the options. Then you can change GREGARIOUS_BUILD back to its original value.

Hmm…oops.
Well, I’ve got the imagery and such, but there appears to be a tag before the Share This link. Where is this located so I can remove it….? I can’t find it anywhere in the .php files?

Ankur,
Awesome plugin. Thankyou very much, you’ve put a lot of work into this.
I’m having some trouble (it may have nothing to do with Gregarious itself. Two points.
http://www.pimpmyclarion.com is having trouble. The “Share This” link opens the javascript window right at the bottom of the page. This incrementally increases (the “top”) each time you click it. Taking a squiz at akst.js, seems the “offset” var would be incrementing badly. Or something.
When I downloaded the plugin zip, a lot of the files had a wierd [SQUARE] character, which wasn’t recognised as a character by Ultraedit, and the only way to properly check if the files (the character had taken away all new lines, so some lines were behind comments, and others just weren’t working with this character in them) was to through the files. That stopped on the eof, and on the wierd square char.
Again, not sure if these points have anything to do with Gregarious, but thought i’d ask here first.
Cheers,

Stu:
1.
The theme you’re using is producing a javacript error. Replace javascript/imghover.js in the template directory with:
// JavaScript Document function changeSty(classpassed){ // element=event.srcElement; //document.getElementById('buttonIMG').className=classpassed; this.classname = classpassed; }2.
The square character could be due the difference in line endings between windows and *nix systems. Could you try doing a search and replace to replace all instances of the character with a line break?
John Montgomery:
By the ‘tag’, do you mean the icon that appears before the Share This link? You can turn that off in the options page by disabling the Share icon.

Anyone game to try the next experimental build?
composed by Ankur on April 4, 2007 3:28 pm | Permalink
I’ve been doing some more experimenting and getting further. I am attempting to integrate this into my home page (not a wordpress page). I do an include on the wp files, the wp_head(), etc. Works quite well, but I’d like to have the digg/share this link on the home page. If I don’t use the digg_button() and share_this() functions, I don’t get the badges. However, the share_this() output seems to have tags surrounding the code, so I can’t get rid of the wrap. Is there a way to get rid of them?

Hi John.
To post code, try using Postable to encode it so it shows properly.
If you’re including the entire WP system just to make use of the social stuff, that’s serious overkill; I’ll write you a non-WP version. If you need to use the WordPress files anyway, then I understand.
The Share This link does indeed have ‘p’ tags surrounding it, but if you apply the following CSS:
.akst_share_link { display: inline; }you wont be able to tell that it’s wrapped in anything.

I’ve uploaded a newer version - one that hasn’t been thoroughly tested yet, but I suppose we’ll soon find out if it works. It’s much faster, and the modules are able to work just like plugins for WordPress - only they’re for Gregarious, which is in turn for WordPress.
The errors that people were getting with “foreach” should be fixed now as I’ve added statements to explicitly check the arrays before using them in foreach. Not everywhere, but just in places that would be more likely to throw up blank, such as the modules list.
The javascript in the admin interface has also been updated and now relies more on mootools (previously I had written my own functions to handle the checkbox replacements and so forth).
There’s also a new module in there, add-digg, which can show Dugg stories according to your settings. It’s only in its first iteration and the total amount of testing I’ve done is to look at it in action once. Although, if you need to use it, feel free. It should work.
On the topic of modules, Gregarious now automatically disables a module if it’s renamed or moved.
Everything seems to be in order. Now, we just have to wait for WordPress.org to reflect the changes.

Who noticed the “Get more modules” link in the options page? It’s a new feature as of build 41 (Yes, I need to think of a better naming scheme).
I wont post up the link, as the modules are for the newest version only (uploaded ten minutes ago), but activating the Dashboard module will show the link adjacent to a nice star. I’ll be building in a module to check for module updates (what a mouthful) and creating a feed for people to keep up to date with updates. A lot of work done, and still more needed. I need to get some sleep

The link above is just pointing to the download from WordPress.com, so it makes no difference. But you’re right, the Share This module isn’t all there. I’m trying to upload it to svn now, but it’s acting strangely telling me it’s there when it’s not, then telling me it’s not there when I try to remove it. Anyway, you can access all the new modules at through this slick page.

Ankur,
Download works fine. All files are accounted for.
The strange “share-this form appears waaaay down the page” problem i’m experiencing, it’s still happening. And i’m pretty sure there’s something different about the theme i’m using. Was just wondering if you could fill me in (email?) in layman’s terms how gregarious brings up the form. I’ve had a look at the code, and from what I can tell .. uses the cumulative offset function stuff from prototype to get left and top points. It then shows the form, which is hidden down in the footer. However, mine is showing it IN the footer, instead of from the link element.
That’s my current understanding (lame) of what is happening. Any advice would be just awesome.
Cheers,

I was playing with that theme before on my local server, and as I said before, imghover.js is broken. It should be like this:
// JavaScript Document function changeSty(classpassed){ //element=event.srcElement; //document.getElementById('buttonIMG').className=classpassed; this.className=classpassed; }Once you’ve done that, remove whereever you added wp_footer() before, and put it in footer.php at the following spot:
And the popup should show perfectly!

Awesome plugin - I’m having a problem though - the database link is as follows:
http:///?page=gregarious&keys=1I tracked it down in the code, and I’m not sure if it’s missing something or incorrect, but this is the line that is apparently not giving it the right URL:
$gregarious->add_page( 'Edit Database', 'images/icn_Database.png', '', '', $_SERVER['FULL_URL'].'?page=gregarious&keys=1' );
Am I not doing something right? I tried just dropping it in and activating it, but no luck thus far.
published by Aaron on April 7, 2007 5:32 am | Permalink
Andy: Make sure you have
<?php wp_footer(); ?>somewhere in your template (usually in footer.php). Otherwise, prototype.js is appending properly.Aaron: I don’t know why you’d want to edit the keys directly, but here goes. Unfortunately, I think the weird URL is due to your server config. The fix is simple, though. Just change the code you posted to:
$gregarious->add_page( 'Edit Database', 'images/icn_Database.png', '', '', get_option('home').'/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=gregarious&keys=1' );
If you’ve moved the index.php file out of the WordPress directory etc. (chances are you haven’t) then you can change get_option(’home’) to get_bloginfo(’wpurl’).

I really like the plugin, Ankur. I also appreciate that you seem very responsive to the comments here. I saw that there were some similar questions to what I was wondering, but none of them seemed to remedy the problem.
Basically I was experiencing the error where the Javascript popup would not show up, and I was actually getting redirected to another page. I saw that prototype.js needed to be added, but I was confused because I could see in the page source that it was being added. I also verified that wp_footer() was being called in my footer template, and I saw the akst Javascript code being appended at the bottom of the pages.
So after some debugging (I figured that it was something that I could find) I found that I wasn’t getting the popup because I had previously removed some of the social sites through the gregarious options (mainly because I wanted to limit the sites to those that I knew well). This caused the Javascript to result in an error (in my case: $(”akst_furl”) has no properties) because I had deleted furl from my list of social sites. This subsquently left the Javascript to error out which resulted in no popup window being displayed.
To verify what I suspected, I temporarily reset my social sites and saw that I was able to get the Javascript popup to show (because all of the Javascript properties were properly set).
Now I can obviously go into the akst.js and comment out those that I don’t want and then de-activate them from the gregarious options.
Fix: Add checks in the Javascript before processing so that anything changed in the gregarious options will not affect the Javascript. I looked at the option_value for greg_social_sites, and perhaps the best way is to read that string in, process it, and then overwrite the Javascript to be output into akst.js? But that’s just an idea.
Thanks again for the awesome plugin, and hopefully all of this makes sense to you. I’m not sure if this affects all of the people with the same problem, but (as someone who also develops) it’s always nice to get people off of your back about something that you’ve worked so hard on sn’t it?
Keep up the good work!
spoken by Derek on April 9, 2007 12:21 pm | Permalink
Jauhari, you probably got my email, but essentially the fix involves change bloginfo(’url’) to bloginfo(’wpurl’) in gregarious.php line 430. (Jason pointed this out above)
Users who download the plugin from now wont have to do this, it’s been fixed in the repository.
Derek, I do have a function that updates the akst.js and akst.css files when the social sites are updated. You might need to change
$filetype = '../wp-content/plugins/gregarious/akst.' . $filetype;to
$filetype = ABSPATH . PLUGINDIR . '/gregarious/akst.' . $filetype;in modules/share-this/share-this.php for it to work.
And thanks for your nice comments
proclaimed by Ankur on April 9, 2007 12:54 pm | Permalink
Just to let you know, I made that change and that does allow gregarious to automatically write to the file. I tried it out by resetting the Share This social sites module so that all were available. When I checked the akst.js file it was correctly showing all of the sites (overwriting my previous commenting out of sites that I was not using). However when I made changes to the gregarious social sites options it correctly removed those sites from what I see after I click Share This BUT it did not correctly write to akst.js. And this led to the aforementioned problem where I was redirected to another page vs. shown a Javascript popup. I just wanted to let you know. If there is further information that you can give to me, I’d be more than happy to try it out. But as for now I guess I’ll have to live with my commenting out hack.
I’ll try to look at the code a little more later and see if there’s a problem. If I find anything, I’ll definitely get back to you.

I just tried that new build that you have up as of 10 minutes ago, and the problem persists. Additionally there are no akst.[js|css] files in the zip (not sure if you just forgot). Anyways I tested it similarly to how I did previously, and I’m sorry to say that I got the same error. And this obviously sends me to a new page as opposed to the popup. On another note, I noticed for some reason that the Share This icon wasn’t appearing in this new build. I’m just speaking from installing it and looking at it for 5 minutes. Hopefully I’ll have some time (tomorrow maybe?) to look at the code and maybe come back with some more useful information. Thanks for the quick responses, Ankur.

Your blog still says build 41. Are you sure everything is upgraded?
Build 42 I moved akst.js and .css to the modules/share-this folder. In testing on my local server, everything is running smoothly with the latest build.
reported by Ankur on April 10, 2007 6:50 pm | Permalink
Sorry I forgot to mention that I reverted it back to build 41 after I tried it out (twice just to make sure) because I thought that the Share This icon was working better in that previous build. So I figured that I’d just put it back to how it was already set up and go to sleep (since it was pretty late here when I was trying it out). I can verify that I tried it out because the version number changed from “Reaching 2.0″ to “1.999″ in the Plugin admin page. Also I checked the bottom of the Gregarious page and it said “Running build 42″.
Anyways, I just tried it again moving the akst.js and akst.css from the modules/share-this/ folder to the gregarious “top-level” plugin folder (I’m assuming this is what I should do to get it to work). I’m not sure what the differences are in our installations but it’s performing how I described before (no Share This icon appearing, Javascript error).

I am running on WP 2.0.2 and I have not changed any of the code or the file name. I am not the best at leafing through codes, so any advice on how to rectify this problem are greatly appreciated. As of now I have deactivated the plugin until it can be uploaded correctly. Thanks.

Derek: Try a clean install of build 42. Leave the akst.css and .js files in modules/share-this and everything as it is, then upload it. It should work.

Jared: Side effect of WordPress 1.5. I am working on a version that’ll work on WP 1.5, so I’ll post up when it’s ready.
expressed by Ankur on April 11, 2007 9:30 am | Permalink
Man this is strange. So basically I thought that there might be a problem with having old wp_options for Gregarious so I deleted those rows after I deleted the folder from the plugins/ directory. I figured that was a fresh install completely.
I removed yahoo from the social sites and then I tried it out on a page. It seemed to work!
…
but then when I removed all of the sites that I wanted to remove, it seemed to fail as before. I’m not sure why.
This time I left everything as it was (the reason I thought that I should move the akst.js and akst.css was because the dashboard module was telling me that they were not available).
professed by Derek on April 11, 2007 10:51 am | Permalink
That was my fault. I updated all the references to akst.css and akst.js except in the Dashboard module. Oops.
Everything’s still working on my local server. I’ll spend some time testing it further. I’m really sorry for all the trouble caused.
stated by Ankur on April 11, 2007 11:36 am | Permalink
Still working! I don’t know why it’s not working for you…
posted by Ankur on April 11, 2007 11:43 am | Permalink
In function write_stuff_to_file add this:
...
$gregarious->add_alert( "Cannot write to file ($filetype)", "alert" );
return 0;
} else {
echo $content; // this is added
fclose($handle);
return 1;
}
}
return 0;
}
When you save your options, it’ll output at the top of the page the content that was supposedly written to the akst.js and akst.css files. Then we’ll know if the problem is in writing or in getting the option from the database.
recorded by Ankur on April 11, 2007 11:52 am | Permalink
I realized after trying to add some debug statements that I had made such a silly mistake. By ignoring the akst-related alerts on the dashboard, I made the mistake of not remembering to chmod! I was tricked into missing this because the file would change on disk each time I made a change.
In sum, you’re right, Ankur. Build 42 is good. Thanks for the responses, and for the plugin! Sorry for any trouble that I caused.
revealed by Derek on April 11, 2007 1:42 pm | Permalink
Phew! It happens, don’t worry about it. The slightest mistakes are the most frustrating ones. I’m just glad it works now. Feel free to get back to me if there are any other issues or if you have any suggestions.

plugin is working for me, but the control panel inside of wordpress dashboard “options” says “done errors on page” and I can’t use the “share this options” function. I would like to have the links for sharing open in new windows. currently they open in the same window. thx
stated by AgentSully on April 12, 2007 12:03 am | Permalink
First off, thanks for the plugin. Everything seems to be working fine. My only problem is coming from the Share This portion. It shows up, but the icon does not, nor do any of the icons in the drop-down box.
I know I am probably missing something, but I have goofed around with it enough, to no avail, that I figured I would just ask if you may know why this is happening.
reported by Morbid on April 12, 2007 2:20 am | Permalink
This plugin is awesome! It really helps to simplify the maintenance of adding/updating the social bookmarking links.
But there are some fixes that still need to be made. The Add Digg icon is missing from the Options - Gregarious menu.
The first time I installed Gregarious, and before I enabled any of the modules, it would bomb when clicking on the Database icon. You might want to perform some checking at that point otherwise panicking users may not get to enjoy the benefits of using Gregarious.
The new version, 42, reports no akst.css and akst.js, presumably because they’ve been moved to modules/share-this.
Version 41’s ajax.php has some conditional definition of _ROOT which is undefined for lines 98-102 that I don’t see changed in version 42.
There was a file in 41 that referenced localhost:8888/__ or the like which I had to change in order to have the icons appear on my blog. My host doesn’t have that port open and thus my browser wasn’t able to retrive the icons correctly. That still appears to be the case for 42.
The final issue I have seems to be some conflict with the SEO All In One plugin. I think the template names you use such as CONTENT may need to be prefixed by GREG_ or some such to prevent name collisions with other plugins in the future.
I hope it doesn’t sound like I’m belittling or attacking your work. This is an extremely useful and powerful plugin I intend to use as long as social bookmarking sites are around! (Though we might need a way to add new sites to the list when the time comes. Perhaps they can add new modules for Gregorious as well!)
Thank you again,
Alfonso Guerra

I am running the anaconda theme for wordpress 2.1 I have installed the gregarious but i have an error in the dashboard showing that the postbadge module is not activated. I have triple checked and I have all the files in the designated spots. suggestions of what to check?
WS
recorded by WS on April 12, 2007 5:38 am | Permalink
WS, just click on the PostBadge module to activate it. PostBadge is what adds the links / buttons to your posts.
Alfonso:
I’m still cleaning up that module and haven’t yet decided on an icon, so if you have any suggestions feel free to let me know.
I’ll look into this and fix it up ASAP. Thanks for letting me know.
Yeah, I forgot to update the path of the akst.js and .css files in the Dashboard module, but it still runs perfectly fine. I have updated it, but posting the new release is becoming somewhat difficult as I have to wait for the official release of the Digg API before I can do anything.
That may have been a CSS or JS flie (most likely akst.js or akst.css). I’ll fix it for the next release, but that’ll get updated by itself once you save the options once.
I’ve never heard of that plugin, but I’ll be sure to see if I can do some testing and overcome any conflicts.
Morbid,
Just hit “save” once in the options page and that should update the CSS to point to your images. If that doesn’t work let me know.
Agnetsully,
I’m not sure if this is an IE thing, but it be because some of the script files are missing. Check if functions.js and mootools.js are in the scripts folder.
I can certainly do that… though you may have to wait till the next build.
I think that’s everything. Thank you so much to all of you for letting me know of all these issues so I can fix them.

All errors with “PLUGINDIR” in them are because WordPress 1.5 doesn’t have this defined. To fix it, just define it in gregarious.php (to wp-content/plugins/) like this:
define(”PLUGINDIR”, “wp-content/plugins”);

Good Morning,

Sorry if this question has already been asked but rather than getting the nice drop down box when clicking the share link listing the bookmarking icons it is loading a new page with the bookmark icons listed, the post, and the email form.

I seem to have a problem with the Digg badge showing up on my blog.
Here are my Gregarious settings:
Un-dugg posts: Show nothing
Detect incoming diggs: yes
Dugg posts: Show digg badge
I also have WP-cache installed. Is there any conflicts with this? I always clear the cache frequently, also.
For some reason, the digg badge never shows up on the post after it is dugg. How long does this usually take to show up? Are there any conflicts with any other plugins? Thanks.
stated by Ahren on April 20, 2007 12:18 pm | Permalink
Gregarious can’t auto-detect when you have WP-Cache enabled. BUT you can overcome this by setting Gregarious to show a Digg button regardless of whether the post has been Dugg or not.
I’m working on the final version of Gregarious 2.0 which should see this limitation removed.
David, I’m not sure what could be causing this, but the next update is almost a complete rewrite, so it should be fixed by then.

Alvin, the font sizes will be due to CSS. You can reduce the font size for
#akst_formin your CSS and everything should be back to normal.Hebua, you need to activate some of the modules depending on which links / buttons you want to show. The PostBadge module needs to be on for the links to be automatically appended to your post content.
Microdesign, activate the Share This and PostBadge modules. Then make sure that the
<%SHARE%>or<%SHARE_THIS%>tag is present in the PostBadge code (it should be by default). Also in the PostBadge settings, turn off the option that says to show it on the home page.announced by Ankur on April 22, 2007 11:44 am | Permalink

Can you clarify? Thanks so much.

Hi Ankur,
I googled how to define define(”PLUGINDIR”, “wp-content/plugins”); however, it still does not function. I can’t upgrade Wordpress now as my host doesn’t have high enough versions of MySQL and PHP, so I have to either migrate hosts or make this fix work. Following is the code I got after I amended gregarious.php:

I can’t seem to figure out how to make the Share-this popup window close to the Share-this link. I’ve read through all comments and documentations and no matter what I try the popup window opens well below the link (users would have to scroll the page down to see the window). Any ideas as to what I’m missing?

hmm… at least I know I am not alone in this.
Do you know how long til 2.0 gets released?
Also, my theme is the default theme… I just changed the colors and image files, nothing else.
I dont know if that would affect anything.
Thanks for the help.

Taryn,
The errors still imply that PLUGINDIR is not defined. Have you written near the top of gregarious.php:
define(”PLUGINDIR”, “wp-content/plugins”);Jason, the Share This popping up below would be due to the placement of the
<?php wp_footer() ?>call in your template / theme. If it’s too far down, you get the box showing up too far below the content.Saje, I think I’ve fixed it now, but I’ve just got to clean up a little before the next release. It wont be long now!

Yeah, that’s what I thought but it doesn’t seem to make any difference where I place the call as the popup always shows up lower on the page. I’m using the Blogging Pro theme (widgetized version) from blogginpro.com. Maybe it has something to do with the theme but I’m not sure what.

Neither am I, Taryn. Division by zero, and PLUGINDIR still not defining… I’ve added a few more error checks and fixes in the next build, so it may be best to wait for the next release.
Jason, it must be the theme. Someone else had a problem with the Blogging Pro theme, but it was fixed moving
<?php wp_footer ?>to about line two or three, and fixing the javascript error that accompanies that theme. I’m not sure how different the widgetized version is, but I’ll download it later and take a look.composed by Ankur on April 28, 2007 2:00 pm | Permalink

Hey its me again…
So I thought maybe the default theme might be to blame for my issues with postbadge but I tried a bunch of other themes and its all the same thing.
Just wanted to let you know.
Do you think it might be because I’m hosted by Yahoo? Im running on PHP 4.3.11 and MySQL 4.1.14
I cant wait for the new gregarious to come out.

Takashi, I think FeedBurner are responsible for the difference between old / new posts. For example, the FeedFlare on this post is different to the newer ones on this site.
Saje, it’s definitely not the theme. It’s highly likely that your server configuration is vastly different to what I’ve accommodated for in the plugin, but as I said, version 2 final should solve our woes.

Hi, firstly, thanks a lot for this great plugin.
I really like to use it, but I am having a few problems…firstly, I can’t see all the menus because of my wordpress’s orientation, which is right-to-left (rtl) for Persian language.
This is how my config panel looks like.
Also, I can only get Digg button to work. Share this button, comes and goes!! meaning sometimes it’s here and sometimes it’s not!
I have put the placeholders in a table and put the code in Post Badge. Can I do that? Will HTML code work in post badge? if not, how can I style the position of the elements?
This is how it looks.
Thanks.

Gregarious is great, but I have found something that would be nice if it was delt with in the next version.
I have it set to only show the digg button, once it has been submitted. This is a very nice feature except… Some numbnuts just submitted an item and changed the link line to read just the url, and not the specific url for the story.
Meaning
sitename.com not (sitename.com/storyid)
Now every undug story on the front page comes up as 0 diggs, instead of coming up blank.

I just posted to the WP plugins site.
I did not have Share This installed already. I installed Gregarious and activated it and saved a test post. No Share This icon. Share This doesn’t show up in the list of plugins. What have I done wrong?
I’ve checked and found that the plugin download files on the author’s site and on WordPress are identical–in case anyone else wastes time on that.
As a new WP user I am just amazed at how much prior knowledge is assumed and how little clear and intelligible documentation is available. Take this plugin. WHAT IS A POST BADGE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD? I use delicious and I use Furl. I do not want to put a load of ugly icons on my blog. This looks like a useful tool, but the installation docs could do with some links to a wiki that explained all the options.
This is not the first time I’ve had this experience with a WP plugin.
I should add that Share This doesn’t show up in my plugins and I do not know if this is how things should appear or not. The installation docs contain no information on this.
Apologies if I seem frustrated. I am. Just had a bad time with another plugin and I was hoping this was going to cheer me up!
revealed by PONOLAN on May 5, 2007 9:18 pm | Permalink
Update: I deactivated Gregarious and installed Alex King’s Share This in the plugins directory on my hosted blog and in a local copy on my PC, and in neither case did Share This show up in the plugins panel in the admin console (Gregarious was also not working on my PC).
I’m baffled.

stated by Jayemes on May 6, 2007 2:56 am | Permalink
Milad, I think a CSS property to show left to right in Gregarious will easily fix this. I’ll add it to the next release. HTML works in PostBadge.
Pam, it depends on where the
<?php wp_footer() ?>call is in your template’s footer.php file. If it’s not showing in the correct place, you may have to move it up a bit.Bill, placement of things is controlled via the PostBadge module’s PostBadge code.
Steve, you may need to enable some modules, especially PostBadge.
Kyle, v2 will fix your problem and go beyond it. I’m working hard on it…
Ponolan, I’m sorry that there isn’t much documentation. I’m aware that it may be a little confusing, but there’s so much functionality in this plugin that it’s taking me a while to write up the docs. It is coming, I assure you, and version 2 final (as I keep saying) is really going to make it easy to install, use or upgrade the plugin.
Oh, and Share This doesn’t show up in the list of plugins when you install Gregarious; you need activate the “Share This” module then configure it from the Gregarious options page. To actually append it to your posts, you activate the PostBadge module, otherwise you use a template tag. Again, I’m sorry for the lack of documentation and will double my efforts to get it up.
Jayemes, do you mean the link on your posts, or just the icon in the dialog?

Is it possible to have Gregarious show up only on posts, but not on pages? I went to put an is_page() conditional in my template, then realized… D’oh! This plugin requires no template modification. So that must mean there’s a config option for it somewhere… but I can’t find it. Thanks.

Scot, in the PostBadge options there are about five checkboxes at the bottom. One of them should be an option to show / hide things on pages.
Stephen, has the modules/ folder been uploaded correctly? Otherwise, it’s something to do with your PHP config and I’ll need to look into it.

It seems the code that’s throwing those errors is this bit out of greg_functions.php:

If not, then I can try to reproduce this if you tell me your PHP version and basic server configuration.Edit: I think I’ve got it. Replace the load_modules function code in greg_functions.php with:
function load_modules(){ $modules = modules(); if( !$modules ) return; foreach ( $modules as $module_path => $on ){ if( file_exists(ABSPATH.PLUGINDIR.'/gregarious/modules/'.$module_path) ){ include_once ABSPATH.PLUGINDIR.'/gregarious/modules/'.$module_path; } else { deactivate_module($module_path); } } }disclosed by Ankur on May 7, 2007 1:32 pm | Permalink

Hello, first of all, great work with the WP extension. I’m experiencing a very weird error, every once in a while, all of the settings are turned off, which causes an error on the blog (something along the lines of it can’t find a function share_this() or something like that). The solution is to turn the appropriate options back on in the admin area.
This has happened about 6 times now, and I’ve noticed a pattern of it happening everytime a new post is made by a blog contributor we have (his WP role is Editor) and even more specifically it has been whenever an image is included in the post. For whatever reason, it seems as if all of the settings are reset. Any ideas?

I’m having the same problem as Jayemes. I recently uploaded this plugin, but the Share This icon isn’t displaying on any of my posts when viewing any one of them as a single page.
The Share This icon is showing at the end of your “single” post. But I wonder if there’s anything else I need to do on my own blog.
Say, what plugin did you use to add those extra options for comments? And just thought I’d suggest your blog use the Subscribe To Comments plugin one as well so those who commented can keep track of which one they posted on.
uttered by Dave Zan on May 9, 2007 7:40 pm | Permalink
Dane, the problem you’re having is that the Share This icon is showing on the home page, but not on single pages?
The icon exists, and the css is fine, so I’m tempted to think it might have been a browser cache issue (there have been a few cases of “icon isn’t showing”, but when I navigate to the site, everything’s fine).
The plugin to get the markup buttons for comments is found here. I’m also using Markdown for posts and comments.
Comment feeds are available (they should show up as a list when you click subscribe on a single post), but I’ll add the plugin you’ve recommended as well, to make it more obvious.
recorded by Ankur on May 9, 2007 8:21 pm | Permalink
Hi Ankur, so far no dice. I really can’t see it on
any of my posts when viewing it as a single page,
never mind the home page.
I also added this to one of my other blogs, yet I
can’t see the Share This icon either when viewing
that blog’s latest entry in single view. I wonder
if the theme has any relevance, although maybe not
as you indicated somewhere around your barrage of
comments.
The funny thing is, I can see yours here. But you
actually can see the icon on your end, no matter
what post you click on to check?
Then again, I’m using IE. I’ll try using another
browser…as soon as I download and install it.

Hey Ankur,
Any further thoughts? I tried your original suggestion but it didn’t work. I’m keen to get this on my site. The problem I’m having is that each one of my posts in my blog is a Slideshow. Each post ends with Gregarious. What happens is that when I click Share It and the options menu drops down, it actually drops down behind the next post / slideshow. It doesn’t overlap it.
So, I was trying to change the position of this. I suppose it would even work if the options menu would move up instead of moving down. Is that possible?
Thanks

I tried increasing the z-index (found in share-this.php right?) and this did nothing. I couldn’t even see a change and I increased the value to 1999 from 999. I also decreased the number to 1 and also noticed 0 change. Do you have any further suggestions? Is there perhaps a way to force the options to appear on a new page once clicked? Instead of the options dropping down in a menu?
Thanks
Ian

Well, here’s another one for you, Ankur.
Recently I discovered OnlyWire. Pretty nifty site.
Actually it’s a small thing, but I’m just trying to achieve this. Although it’s easy to add a social bookmark link via Gregarious’ admin panel, how did you input their respective icons/images?
proclaimed by Dave Zan on May 15, 2007 12:58 pm | Permalink
Dave, the icons go in the gregarious/modules/icons/ folder, with the name of the image being exactly the (sanitized) title of the social site. The icons currently need to be in gif format, but I’ll see how much more flexibility I can add for version 2 final.
Ian, you can turn off the pop-up and take the user to a separate page by setting AKST_POPUP to false instead of true at the top of gregarious.php.
Find:
@define('AKST_POPUP', true);and replace with
@define('AKST_POPUP', false);recorded by Ankur on May 15, 2007 3:56 pm | Permalink
Ankur,
That’s worked. Except now my Share It icon isn’t showing. And it’s enabled in the control panel. ??
Thanks

Hey there, I like the plugin, but I’ve got a bit of a problem with it using WP 2.2:
When I change any of the options under the Digg menu, I get that little progress bar animation, and it never goes away. I’ll just let it go for a few minutes and it never seems to “finish”. If I click the [x] then the settings I changed, obviously, don’t stick.
recorded by Hanlon on May 18, 2007 3:27 am | Permalink
Hanlon, just disable the AJAX module and use the regular form to save the options. It’s more of a novelty than a feature anyway.
disclosed by Ankur on May 18, 2007 6:15 pm | Permalink
After switching to Gregarious from formerly using both ShareThis and Digg Button separately, clicks from digg’s site are not being detected, and thus the digg button is not being displayed on pages that have been dugg. My settings seem to be correct. If anyone has any suggestions, I’d appreciate it.

Hey Ankur!
Everything works great! I didnt turn the three modules you told me were still iffy (well i did at one point… they didnt break but I didnt touch anything after, I just deactivated them again)
About FeedFlare. I have no idea what url to put on there. I signed up on their site and I put in the feed address but I still dont see it on my site. I also tried moving it around but still nothing.
Also, when I turn on the share this module, all the other customize pages of the other modules are now on one page (like one big edit page). Is that how its supposed to be?
Thats about it. This thing rocks.
professed by Saje on May 22, 2007 4:36 am | Permalink
Oh another thing… when I click on share this and the tab window comes up, I see the icons but no text. The only time I see the text is if I roll my mouse over them. Not sure if its supposed to be like that (even though it looks cool) because here on your site, when I click on share this I see both the icons and text immediately.
And how do I get share this to align properly? I have it below my digg and reddedit buttons (which are on one line, but share this seems to be more left than the other two.

Saje,
That’ll be due to your CSS stylesheet. You can override the text color for the
<a>element in #akst_form and it’ll be fine.No. This must be due to a javascript error. I’m still improving the plugin to work on more than just FireFox and Safari.
Chris,
Try resetting the plugin. The default social sites should be present upon installation.
Is the error upon clicking the options page tab or on the actual Share This dialog on your post?

mentioned by Jim Borst on May 25, 2007 5:21 am | Permalink
Aditya, right-click and view source of your page, and check if “prototype.js” is somewhere in there. If not, it may mean an upgrade to WordPress is needed, or you need to add the code manually, which I can show you if needed.
Jim, the modules are loaded from the /plugins/gregarious/modules/ folder, so if it’s empty or not readable, you’ll get that message. If it’s not empty, try running CHMOD on it (change permissions) to something like 777.
posted by Ankur on May 25, 2007 8:26 am | Permalink
I looked and all the modules r under the /plugins/gregarious/modules/ folder.

Dude, Gregarious is awesome, and I would use it in a heartbeat if it wasn’t for the Prototype dependency. Is it possible to release a non-Prototype-reliant version?
professed by Steve on May 29, 2007 1:16 am | Permalink
Jim, CHMOD is changing permission. You’ll most likely need to use your FTP client to do this.
Steve, prototype is only used for the Share This dialog. I’m trying to phase it slowly. The admin interface uses mootools. If you don’t want to use prototype.js, you can still use the plugin, but disable the Share This dialog.

Again, not sure what u mean…use the FTP client how? Is there a file I need to FTP up to the site?
Assume I know nothing about CHMOD

If everything’s there and the server is not finding the modules, then I’m afraid I have no idea what the problem could be. I’m terribly sorry.
You may be interested in, “Gregarious Lite” which I will be releasing sometime soon. It is the same plugin but with only the core features and without the modules system.

great plugin. thanks a lot. though having the digg button on each post slows down the front-page considerably. so i disabled the badge and added the code you recommended above:
if( is_home() ){
digg_button(’dugg=image&undugg=text’);
} else {
digg_button(’dugg=button&undugg=compact’);
}
but it only works partially. it seems to recognize all posts as undugg, and so only shows text or compact. i don’t understand this because when i manually set it to button, the button shows the correct number of diggs and all. so any idea why i’m having trouble with this code? thanks.

Ok, for now, just edit the post, then add a custom field called DiggUrl and set its value to the permalink of the post.
The Digg may not have been registered because the detect incoming Diggs option may be off?
The sandbox version has this fixed by using either CURL or the Digg API.
determined by Ankur on June 3, 2007 12:21 am | Permalink
Ok, I think everything is now sorted out.
Adding the custom field worked.
But also I’m embarrassed to say that just getting a referral also gets the digg recognized, as you said above. Maybe before when I tried I’d just had it dugg, but I see now if I actually click on the link to the page from digg.com, then the referral is detected and the button is displayed. so all is peachy. thanks again.

Dennis,
Try this version of the plugin. I’m holding off making it the default download until I know for sure that it works on all or most configurations.
I will put up some sort of bulletin board soon. I hadn’t really expected the plugin to become so popular!
expressed by Ankur on June 5, 2007 6:14 pm | Permalink
I’ve commited the sandbox to the trunk. That means the download is now the newer (possibly unstable) version of Gregarious. Hopefully everything will still run smoothly.
Major change: Prototype.js dependency for Share This is gone!
I’ve also switched to using serialized PHP rather than XML for the Digg API calls, so PHP 4 will play nicely.
You may also notice that the background is now white…

For some reason my original post with the error I was receiving did not come through.
Here is the problem that I was having.
After activating Gregarious I received a parse error on line 176 of gregarious.php.
This killed my site. I deleted the gregarious folder and I was able to get back in to the site. Putting the gregarious folder back on the server would result in the error being thrown again.

Soggycornflakes, the PostBadge module is the one that adds the content to your posts. For example, if you want the Digg button and Share This link to show, activate the Digg button and Share This modules as well as the PostBadge module.
You can control the layout from the PostBadge options.

Great plugin — two issues.
When I set the plugin to show “Nothing” for undugg posts and to show “Badge/Compact Badge” for dugg posts, none of the posts (even ones with diggs) have a badge show up. Is there a fix for this?
Assuming #1 is fixable, how do you move the location of the digg button?

Mike,
The Digg button will show from the time when the plugin detects a referral from Digg.com. If you have made sure that you’ve clicked on the Digg page for your article at least once, post up the link and I’ll try to see what the problem is.
In the PostBadge code, move the
<%DIGG%>tag to change the location of the Digg button.stated by Ankur on June 11, 2007 3:12 pm | Permalink

Mike,
Updated Reddit module source and download. Rename it to reddit-button.php and replace the old file. (There’s no need for everyone to update as this was fixed some time ago).
Kris,
In the PostBadge options, there are some checkboxes at the bottom that allow you to choose where to show the links. You’d probably want to turn it off on “pages” and leave it on on “single posts”.

Agentsully, edit your post, and in the custom fields below the post writing area, check that the permalinks are correct in the DiggUrl field. This should solve both problems.

Hey Ankur,
I wondered if you ever got around to writing a workaround for the problems that occur when using both Gregarious and Related Posts.
You mentioned it in the comments here: http://dev.lipidity.com/feature/wp-plugin-gregarious/comment-page-5/#comment-1359

Hey Ankur,
Actually, I mistyped earlier. My problem is with Gregarious + Recent Posts (on which I believe Related Posts is based).
I’m using Gregarious version 2.0 and the newest Recent Posts, but I’m still having problems with ‘digg_url…’ printing out into my list of recent posts.
The blog is at: http://haslayout.com, and a screenshot of the problem is here: http://haslayout.com/images/greg.png.
Thanks for your help!

Uberpiglet, I’m not sure, but it may be something to do with your hosting config.
Jason, I already updated the trunk, but it should be right if you add html comments inside the script tags (enclosing the contents of the tag) around line 210 in modules/digg-button.php. If you need a bit more specificity, let me know.
Moneyning, I’m using the FeedFlare module of Gregarious. Once you register your feed with FeedBurner, type in your FeedBurner feed URL into the FeedFlare module options, then use the

Warning: load_modules() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘/home/usr/public_html/website/wp-content/plugins/gregarious/modules/(any-module)’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/usr/public_html/website/wp-content/plugins/gregarious/greg_functions.php on line 172
This error shows up multiple times and for each module.
I haven’t been able to get it to work since I tried to update it.
I even deleted the entire folder from my server and did a clean install, and I still get the error. Can you help? I was using this app before. Now, I can’t even get it to work.

Clifton, when did you download the new version? If it was more than a few days ago, you might want to re-download and check if it works.
The errors seem to indicate the files can’t be included, so you may also want to check that the paths are correct.

Image Manger lets you upload images and stuff but, unlike Wordpress, you can set the dimensions of your thumbnails and some other nice features.
Not working in the feed means, no matter what setting I choose, the Share This link does not show up in my feed.

Baz,
I’ve contacted the developer of the Image Manager plugin and requested them to only add their javascript to the admin head when the user is on the Image Manager page. This fixes the issues with Gregarious.
Meanwhile, try changing line 98 of imagemanager-plugin.php from:
if ((!IS_WPMU) && strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'options-general.php') !== false) {to
if ((!IS_WPMU) && ($_REQUEST['page'] == 'wp.php')) {As for the feed business, I’ll investigate as soon as I get time.

Hi mate!
I’ve been using version ‘Reaching 2.0′ of your plugin for a few months now, on my personal blog - and it’s worked brilliantly.
I’m in the process of completing my new theme, and installing it onto my dev server is kicking up errors. I get an error that looks like this for each of the modules:
Warning: load_modules(/home/xxx/public_html/wpdev/wp-content/plugins/gregarious/modules/reddit-button) [function.load-modules]: failed to open stream: Success in /home/xxx/public_html/wpdev/wp-content/plugins/gregarious/greg_functions.php on line 172
Every one of the errors is on line 172 - so I’m wondering whether perhaps the version of PHP I’m using is having problems using the include_once line with a folder - rather than an actual file. Or perhaps that line should specify a file within each folder?
I’m running WP 2.2 on a PHP 4.4.4 linux server hosted with Hostgator. The dev site is on a sub-domain if that makes a difference?
Any assistance would be really, really appreciated - as I’m hoping to get the theme live later today, and I would prefer it to include Gregarious!
Thanks in advance!
voiced by Paul Enderson on June 20, 2007 4:56 pm | Permalink
Paul, sorry for the semi-late response.
include_onceis meant to be called on the php files themselves rather than the enclosing folder. I know I’ve been terrible with my version numbers, but the current version, 1.9.xx is the latest and hopefully fixes that issue.The default values for the modules are specified around line 80 of gregarious.php, and they reference the .php files, so I’m not sure why the file names have been omitted.
The get_all_module_paths function in greg_functions.php returns the paths to each php modules file, and it specifically checks
if ( ! is_dir ( $file ) )before adding anything to the list of modules, so I’m uncertain as to where this error originates.revealed by Ankur on June 21, 2007 4:05 pm | Permalink
No problem Ankur - I appreciate your time in supporting the plugin!
I had the latest version installed, but I downloaded it again anyway. However, while I was in the process of uploading it to my dev site I got a call from a friend - asking why my live blog was messed up… I looked at it, and it’s got the same error as my dev blog. I deactivated Gregarious and it’s fine.
So…
I think my problem is being cause by a server configuration. My host (Hostgator) is in the process of upgrading all the servers at the moment, and I think that the move from dedicated PHP 4.4 to a phpSUEXEC setup is what’s causing it. If you Google for phpSUEXEC then you’ll see what it’s all about.
I don’t know if you can help me with my problem… If you can figure out what’s happening the I’d be eternally grateful - but I appreciate that this is outside of your remit as a plugin developer!
This may be something that you see more of though, depending on how many of your users are hosted with Hostgator (or any of the other hosts that are currently talking about moving to the phpSUEXEC system).

I just updated the plugin on my install and got a bunch of apache fatal errors. Had to replace line 172 in greg_functions.php to the following and it fixed it:
include_once GREGARIOUS_ABSPATH.’modules/’.$module_path.’/’.$module.’.php’;
recorded by Xavier on June 23, 2007 2:02 am | Permalink
Hmm actually nevermind that last post… it seems sometimes, the $module_path var contains the directory name, others it contains the filename, so a simple fix would be to replace that block with:
if (is_dir(GREGARIOUS_ABSPATH . 'modules/' . $module_path)) {
require_once GREGARIOUS_ABSPATH . 'modules/' . $module_path . '/' . $module_path . '.php';
} elseif (file_exists(GREGARIOUS_ABSPATH.'modules/'.$module_path)){
require_once GREGARIOUS_ABSPATH.'modules/'.$module_path;
} else {
deactivate_module($module_path);
}
But then I get some errors saying the classes have already been defined somewhere else…

Definitely the slickest plugin of its kind, very well done.
I’ve had pretty good success setting this up on my site, but I hit two problems. First, the icon for “Share This” wouldn’t show up. I saw that the akst.css file referred to /localhost/code instead of my site, so I searched and replaced that by hand, and now it’s working. Was there an easier way to make that work?
Also, I can’t seem to get the Share This popup. I checked for the header and footer references, and they’re in place, and prototype.js is called once. Is there anything else I should check to make this work? The site is jurgenfauth.com. Thanks a ton!

Jorgeivan, find:

Make sure to create the png icon and upload it.Jurgen, to solve both problems, you just need to hit the “Save” button once in your preferences. All the references are updated when you save or reset, so you didn’t have to manually change the links.
Jessica, other people have had this problem as well, so I’ll try to find the cause and hopefully there’ll be an easy fix.

Andreas, you can turn off the PostBadge module and use the template tags. In your theme / template, add:
<?php share_this() ?>to show the “Share This” link,and
<?php digg_button() ?>to show a Digg button / link.To show the Digg button only if the story has been Dugg, go to the Digg options, and set “nothing” to show on unDugg posts.

Thanks for the help Ankur. I have one more “problem” though. I have a story that was submitted to digg a while ago. When I set digg badges to always be displayed, the badge shows that the story has 4 diggs. But when I set the badge to only appear when there are diggs to the story, it doesn’t show up. Will the story need to have received a digg during the last X number of days, or since Gregarious was installed or something?
reasonded by Andreas on July 5, 2007 8:52 am | Permalink
Andreas, the story will need to have been clicked on from the Digg page (the unique page, not from the upcoming section) so the plugin can detect that your post has been Dugg. To ensure it does this, make sure that either the “Digg API” or “CURL” setting is on under Digg options then click on the link from Digg to your site.
If it still doesn’t work, edit the post, then add a custom field with the key of “DiggUrl” and for the value write either the permalink of the post or the URL to the Digg page for that post.
Hope that makes some sense.

Michael, you need to make sure that the akst.js and akst.css files in modules/share-this are writable by your server. This means setting high permissions (using CHMOD) to something like 777.
If that’s inconvenient, simply re-download the plugin. I’ve changed the initial contents of the file slightly so it will work better even when not writable.

Michael, it does work now… I’m getting the popup nicely.
Renae, it does take a while for the FeedFlare to show up. Just to make sure, though, you can check if you’ve activated some FeedFlare for your site as well as for the feed as you can configure them separately.

It’s not working right on my site.
When I select “show digg badge for dugg posts”, nothing shows on any post (even if posts have already been dugg)
When I select “show digg badge for un-dugg posts”, the digg badge will then show up for everyting…Dugg posts and un-dugg posts.
The logic does not seem correct. I cannot make it so only the badge shows up for dugg posts. The only option is for it to show on ALL posts (regardless of it being dugg or not).
Please help. Thanks!

Alexander, I’ve got the Digg badge showing only for Dugg posts and it’s working fine. To make the Digg badge show only for Dugg posts, you need to have a referral from the Digg page for that post so the plugin can detect it.
For example, the first time a user clicked the link from
http://digg.com/tech_news/WP_Plugin_Gregarious_the_ultimate_SMO_pluginto this post, Gregarious detected it and now the Digg button shows.If you’re having trouble getting it to work even after clicking the link from Digg, try changing the the detection method in the options page to CURL or Digg API.

The digg bage will show for dugg posts when I select “for un-dogg posts show badge.” Right now, I have the settings showing for “dugg posts, show digg badge” and i’ve tried both curl and api… it won’t show. There are many posts that already have the referral. (i.e. http://digg.com/political_opinion/Campaign_to_Stop_Ahmadinejad).
posted by Alexander on July 9, 2007 9:53 am | Permalink
In that case, edit the post and (if there’s isn’t a field called DiggUrl or DiggData) add a custom field for the key “DiggUrl” and set its value to the Digg URL. If the button shows then, we know the problem is in picking up and storing the referral.

HUGE speed boost. I was a little wary of releasing the latest update in case it caused errors, but it should be all set to go. The latest version is 1.9.9, and yes, I will standardize the version system with the release of Gregarious 2.0.

I like the plugin but I would like it to appear in the entry header on the right hand side instead of under the post as this would give a more uniform look especially on short entries and would provide some symmetry with the date image.
Could you explain if this is easy to do and if so how to do it?

Andol,
I’ve been really busy, but I’ll try get some basic docs up soon. You can also use the template tags for theme integration.
Paladine,
The main template tags are:
Alternatively, you can turn off the “Append to Posts” option for PostBadge, then using the
<?php post_badge() ?>template tag to show whatever you’ve configured in the PostBadge code. You’ll have to look in your theme / template files to see where the template tags will go.published by Ankur on July 16, 2007 1:26 pm | Permalink
Ankur,
Thanks very much, managed to figure that out easily enough from your instructions. You can see the result on http://blog.paladine.org.uk
Much appreciated
As you can see it looks better than if it was appended to the end of the post.
Would you mind if I edited out the [?] hyperlink and just added a new Links box to the side panel with a link to plugins I using with the relevant link back to your plugin? It would align the digg buttons better whilst still acknowledging your code.

Paladine, feel free to edit the plugin in any way you please.
Seth, try moving the < ?php wp_footer() ?> call just before the footer div. The problem is something to do with the theme.
Ron, the problem is due to a javascript error, which makes the link take you to the page. If you make sure that akst.js and akst.css in modules/share-this/ have their permissions set to 0777 then hit either “save” or “reset”, it’ll fix the problem. Alternatively, you can re-download the plugin as I’ve fixed the original values.
Jab, that’s my fault. Just delete the last

Great Plugin. One quick question. I see references to javascript errors in IE in past posts, but has a solution ever been found? I’m running WP2.2.1 with gregarious 2.0(build 60). The Options panel works great in FireFox, but is totally broken in IE7. If this is common and unfixable at this time, I will stop looking for answers and just advise to use FireFox. If this is fixable, I’d love to get it corrected for my client. Thanks!

Although I would like to provide support for WPMU, I haven’t been able to do this due to time constraints. If you’d like to have a shot at modifying the plugn to make it work, please feel free.
Fayaz,
You’re using the Share This plugin, which is written by Alex King. The Gregarious plugin which I write includes a modified version of this plugin. You could try Gregarious or you could try to find out the reason for the Javascript error you’re getting.
Xz,
Could you tell me what change you made before the big bang? I can write an uninstaller for you to completely remove every single little trace of the previous installation so it works again, but it will be a big help if I know where the bug is.
Ryan,
Sorry, I’m not sure what you mean. Which email?
Chris Melton,
This would be due to a conflict in the CSS, probably with your theme. You can add an
!importantmark for the padding rule for the link class. If you need instructions, I’ll be happy to provide them.Anne Hill,
Not yet, but if you don’t mind waiting for ages, I can probably write this up.

Ryan,
Sorry, I meant the email from Feedburner. I must have been in a hurry again. I will explain in great detail for you here to make up for it =)
I did more research into this and think there is something called a Personal FeedFlare URL which in Feedburner it has a FeedFlare section which lets you turn on links at the bottom of emails which it sends out to people who subscribe to your RSS feed. I saw someone who had a Share this link in their email and had your plugin on their site so they must have figured it out somehow but I cannot seem to.
Inside Feedburner’s site when you are logged in it has a FeedFlare section and at the bottom of all the possible things to add to your feeds (such links will then appear at the bottom of the email as Email this, Digg! this, Stumble it!, Save to Del.icio.us, etc etc.) I want to add a Share This link above them and I think that in order to do that I have to (Enter or paste a Flare Unit URL) as Feedburner says.
Wonderful little plugin =) Thank you very, very, very… Very much!!!
reported by Ryan on August 6, 2007 8:17 pm | Permalink
OK Ryan. I think an update to WordPress had the broken the feed link. I’ve fixed it now. You can just download the new version, then activate the “Show Share This link on RSS feed content” option.

Has anyone encountered the situation where activating the Gregarious plugin causes the post body to disappear, both from single post view and from the main page view?
I’m using a freshly installed WP 2.2.1 from Fantastico with Gregarious 60 as the only plugin installed and just one extra skin (but the effect is the same with the default skins). Really a virgin clean installation. I even chmoded the two js files to avoid the warnings when saving Gregarious config.
If the plugin is disabled I can see the post body without problems. As soon as I activate Gregarious, the post body disappears, and is replaced by all the buttons (Digg this, [?], Share this, etc). Amazingly, none of the other problems frequently occurring in these comments appear (e.g. popups work, everything works, there’s just no blog body!).
I’m using PostBadge to attach the buttons to the post. I’ve tried changing the PostBadge code, and even tried doing a search-replace in the plugin code to change %CONTENT% to %GREG_CONTENT% in case it was messing up a global variable in WP, but to no effect. There is no difference whether I put %CONTENT% before or after other tags, with or without <>, and if I add something else (”foo”) to the Postbadge code, it will get displayed in the page.
Additionally, when the plugin is active, the post body is not present even in the page source, so there’s no chance of a lost closing tag of some div element eating up the whole text - it simply does not get echoed.
The blog is not yet public, it’s password protected, so here are some screenshots.
Sample screenshot with plugin active:

I updated the share-this.php file and now I am also having the problem now with the blank content.
I am also using Post Badge.
Maybe unrelated but when I went to the Edit Database button the feedburner url was blank eventhough I have actually entered one in FeedFlare module.
Disabling the Share this module allows me to show the content of the posts again.
I also cannot seem to get the emails to send from the share this link popup on the site for some reason… but maybe that is something else, just thought I would mention it since that is probably a very good feature to have. Maybe a wordpress update messed up some more things

So I also seem to have some weird deal with the CSS file rewriting itself or something. Now that is a bit odd. I don’t know if it happens when the component gets reactivated or whats going on but it does suck to have to re edit the css each time it happens. I can’t figure that part out =)
Also, someone actually got an email with the Share this link on it in the time I was testing it for a couple minutes which is neat, except for the fact that the link only linked back to the home page of the blog…

If your post content disappears when you activate the plugin, go to Options -> Gregarious -> PostBadge and add the
%CONTENT%tag to the PostBadge code.proclaimed by Ankur on August 8, 2007 5:56 pm | Permalink
Ankur, I’ve tried every possible variant of %CONTENT% I could think of, but nothing worked. At the beginning, at the end, <%CONTENT%> , “%CONTENT%”, with <br> after it, nothing. As I wrote, I even changed the source to change the variable to %GREG_CONTENT% and still no effect.
If I write “%CONTENT% foo”, “foo” will get echoed instead of the post body.
published by UnreaL on August 8, 2007 7:25 pm | Permalink
After some further investigation, something’s definitely fishy. When I go to gregarious settings, in the PostBadge settings, I have for example “%CONTENT% foo” written in the “PostBadge code” window. I can change it, save it, changes get reflected on the site, but there’s no post body.
When I go to Gregarious “edit database” option, the “append_content” box still has this: “<div class=’diggWrap’>%DIGG%</div>
%SHARE%”. When I try to change this field and click “save option”, nothing happens. Upon reload, the edit database page still has the same original text in the append_content field.
I’ll go and try to snoop around in the database directly…
*EDIT: I found two fields in the database, “append_content” and “greg_append_content”. Manually editing the fields I found out that the one actually displayed is “greg_append_content”, but adding %CONTENT% here still doesn’t do the trick.

Now I see no Share this link on the home page but do see it in the feed.
And while you are at it… =) …can you please add an option to change the text of the share this link in the feed separate from the share this link in the post?
Also would be great if the links had a set colour to grey or something on the popup because the background of the popup is white and when the links are white on the page it just does not look good at all and for some reason the css keeps getting overwritten, I suspect when the share this module is re-enabled in the backend or something saved maybe.
I am aware that you can change the FeedFlare url from the options but I’m saying that I have one in there. However when I go to Edit Database it does not appear in there where it should. That box is just blank.

Problem is, the badge doesn’t show up for posts that have been dugg. Furthermore, changing the un-Dugg posts option to text, icon or even compact digg badge doesn’t help. For the option of “un-Dugg posts” set to compact page, the compact badge shows how many times an article has been dugg. That is currently how it is set because I am trying it out, but it would be great if it worked like:

The plugin will detect if your post has been Dugg once there has been a referral from Digg to your site. Make sure that the detection is using the Digg API or CURL under Digg options (Digg API is faster).
miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG, just remove it from the PostBadge code under PostBadge options.

Chris Melton, you’re running WP 2.0.2. If you upgrade to the latest version (2.2.something) it should work.
Mike, have you clicked on the Digg page for your post to let the plugin pick up the referral?

Ankur,
is it at all possible to only have the Reddit button display if the post has already been submitted to Reddit?
I love the fact that the Digg button is invisible until the post has been Dugg.
Any way for us to do that with the Reddit button in the current release?
voiced by Travis on August 15, 2007 1:14 am | Permalink
Hi Ankur–GREAT plugin and thanks for all your hard work on it. I have three questions:
1) Is it possible to get the text for a post to wrap around the digg button?
2) Can the colors of the “Share it” pop-up box be changed?
3) How do I alter settings so that a preview blurb of the page will appear in the Digg page automatically?
THANK YOU!
declared by Matt on August 15, 2007 5:05 am | Permalink
Mike,
That’s how the plugin detects if a page has been Dugg. You just need to do it once and you should be right.
Geri,
Go to options and click on the PostBadge tab. You’ll see an option that says “PostBadge code”. That’s where you configure what shows. There are clickable tags just above the textarea that you can add, and HTML works there too.
Travis,
From what I understand, Reddit doesn’t have an API like Digg does, but I can work in a referral-based checking system to accomplish this in a future release.
Matt,
Thanks
Certainly. Use the attribute
style='float:left(or right) on the parent element (that’s in your PostBadge code). By default there’s adivaround the Digg tag which you can add this to.Absolutely. Open modules/share-this/inc_admin.php and right near the top there’s a function called
akst_print_css(). Modify as much as you like.I’m glad you asked this because I haven’t gotten around to writing documentation for this plugin yet, so many of the advanced features aren’t known.
To add a suggested description for submitters (that’s what you mean, right?), delete the
%DIGG%tag from your PostBadge code and use the template tag<?php digg_button('bodytext='.get_the_excerpt()) ?>. I just made up theget_the_excerpt()bit, but you can add whatever description you want.spoken by Ankur on August 15, 2007 2:10 pm | Permalink

Mike,
Try cycling through “Digg API”, “CURL” and “none” for the detection methods (each time clicking the link from the Digg page).
If everything fails, edit the post and check for a “DiggUrl” key in the custom fields section. If it’s not there just add it in manually (case sensitive) and set the value to the URL of the Digg page. Or, you can use
[digg=http://digg.com/cat/article_name]anywhere in your post to show the badge.reasonded by Ankur on August 16, 2007 8:56 pm | Permalink
Just installed the latest version and I’m having some issues viewing the configurations within the admin interface.

Either there’s a conflict in the Javascript with another plugin, or you’re using an old browser.

If the “Share This” module is on, you’ll get a Share This link where the %SHARE% is, otherwise you’re free to remove it from the PostBadge code.

I see a few other people have mentioned the same problem I was/still am having.
When I set the plugin to show “Nothing” for undugg posts and to show “Badge/Compact Badge” for dugg posts, none of the posts (even ones with diggs) have a badge show up. The only way for the plugin to work is for me set undugg posts and dugg posts to “Badge/Compact Badge”.
Any fix in the works for this? Thanks again.

I’m using that “float:right” to get the badge to show on the right of my post - but it’s showing up at the bottom of the post, on the right, instead of top/right. How do I change that?
declared by Jeromy on August 20, 2007 8:33 am | Permalink
Mike,
Unfortunately, I’m not sure what’s causing the problem as I’m using the exact same settings on this site. Edit a Dugg post and add a custom field “DiggUrl” and set it to the Digg URL. If that works, we can narrow down the possible causes.
Jeromy,
To get the button on the top, add / move the %CONTENT% tag to the bottom of the PostBadge code.

Using the latest and greatest versions of Firefox and IE (Maxthon). Maxthon doesn’t work with the Ajax display so I typically go to Firefox. It “is” possible that there is a conflict with some plugins (e.g., ad blocking or something) but I have tried Safari on the mac and it behaves the same way as in Firefox. All of the “options” (e.g., Digg options, Digg extras, Feedflare, etc) when clicked don’t show any configuration items. Should I click RESET? If so, what will that accomplish?

Polo, you can move the buttons relative to the post content by going to the Gregarious options page, clicking on PostBadge, then rearranging the ‘tags’ in the PostBadge code textarea. If you want it before the title, add the code

You have specified an attribute more than once. Example: Using the “height” attribute twice on the same “img” tag.
reported by Gary Fazenbaker on August 24, 2007 12:53 am | Permalink
Gary, the validation error is not caused by Gregarious itself, but by a conflict between the Google analytics plugin and the Share This module of Gregarious. If you’re that worried about validation, you can edit the Share This module to resolve the conflict or get rid of either the G-Analytics plugin or the Share This module.
Matt,
In your admin menu go to the theme editor under the Presentation tab. Edit index.php (and single.php I think). Find:
Just under it add:
Now if your posts have an excerpt set, when a user clicks submit to Digg the description will be set to it. I haven’t tested this myself, but it should work in theory.
You can also remove the
%DIGG%tag from the PostBadge code as the code you just does the same thing.Mike, unfortunately, if the referrals aren’t being picked up, you may have to continue to add the Digg URL manually.

First and foremost THANKS!!! Are you aware of any conflicts with the all in one SEO pack and Gregarious? My recent Digg links are not linking correctly. Instead of digg.com/category/title it’s going to a post within the category that has the same title as the category so it’s digg.com/category/category. I recently installed the All in one SEO pack and of course Digg has altered their look, but that’s all I can think of that’s changed. http://knightknetwork.com

If you’re getting the Digg button pointing to

Thanks for comment on Javascript. I think it may be due to div design in my theme… I’m still looking into it.
Regarding link text. Can I add to the wishlist to have different versions of link text for HTML and RSS feeds. I ask this because if you have a digifingerprint appended to RSS feed, the ‘Share This’ text needs to be space padded. This looks odd on a webpage, but the link needs to be offset in RSS.

Furrtrap,
you can edit the source file to get the different texts.
Travis,
(Gregarious includes the “Share This” plugin, so it’s not advisable to have both on at the same time).
If nothing is showing, make sure you’ve enabled the “PostBadge” module in the Gregarious options page, and also whichever modules you want you use - eg. Digg button, Share This, Reddit button…

I had the same problem as Bobski, if newly installing the plugin on a 2.3 installation, it does not even show up in the plugins list.
Interestingly, when I upgraded a blog, leaving Gregarious installed, it worked fine.
By the way, this plugin is awesome. Thanks so much for the effort that you have put into this.
[UPDATE] I just realized the problem was with my FTP program, it failed to transfer some of the files, and I had to do them manually, one at a time.

Just fyi, I’m getting the same trouble as basstech where it seems no matter what additional link as I put in, it resolves the link to simple my blog’s URL and trailing #, like the link was anchor to the homepage.
Not sure if my list of pluggins helps but here’s mine to cross check with basstech (it’s not as many).

For people not getting the “Share This” popup, check that you don’t have any javascript errors on your site.
You don’t actually have to edit any PHP script as such - this functionality is built-in to the plugin. Simply go to the Gregarious options page, then in the PostBadge options, find the PostBadge code. There, you add whatever HTML you like.

Could somebody help? I have two sites, one the main domain, and the other an add-on domain. The main domain is still running WordPress 2.1, and the ‘Share This’ plugin works fine. The add-on domain is running WordPress 2.3 and the e-mail function of ‘Share This’ doesn’t work. It seems as if everythings works fine, but the e-mail never arrives in the inbox. I have noticed the same thing when trying out ‘Share This’ on a few other sites. Could the fact that the second site is an add-on domain be the cause of the problem? If so, any suggestions on how to solve the problem? If you could have a look at ideologie.biz where it is working, and the WP 2.3 test site where I’m trying to resolve the issue at 33suid.com

Hi
I have installed your great plugin on WP2.3 and it works great. I am however having problems placing the diggit button in the right place. I can get it below the post and if front of the post, but cannot get it to float to the right of the content as Ive seen.
Could you tell me how to do this as the ‘Im Diggin it’ section on this page please.
proclaimed by Totally on October 11, 2007 9:40 pm | Permalink
TOTALLY - The PostBadge code in your Gregarious settings needs to have a DIV tag either end of whatever you have in there. Mine looks like this….
%DIGG%
%SHARE%
%CONTENT%
and then add a class called .right into your CSS style sheet with just
{ float: right; }This will have your tag looking just like the ‘Im Diggin it’ section on this page.

TOTALLY - If you can read html code - go to my website and view the source code of a page with the ‘Share This’ tag - you will be able to see the class=’right’ surrounding the script. If you look at the top of the source page and put the CSS URL in a browser - you will also be able to find the coding for the .right class which creates the float:right making the text of the post flow around the tag. Sorry I didnt manage to give it you directly in this page.

Already tried this:
Disable all plugins
Changed to default theme
checked for and
changed back and forth the id=”post-” tag
tried Share This, Compartelo!, and your plugin. None worked.
Story of my life. Everything works for other people but when i try to use for myself it gets fucked xDD jaja.
The Share This link takes me to a separate page no matter what i do. :/
Thanks anyway. This plugin works like wonder on my fathers blog.

EDIT: Damn it! It Worked! xDDD
My Solution:
It somehow stupid, but this setting was disabled “Use javascript dialog” xDD I Wonder when it would work with this shut down? xDDD

<div class='right'><div class='diggWrap'>%DIGG%</div>%SHARE%</div>

So the opening DIV is our float fight div, and the diggWrap div is nested inside our float right div and our closing float right div is closed after the SHARE tag - This works a treat!

It’s probably my fault for trying to use this while on 2.3, but I just can’t get rid of the plugin. Check out my page http://www.birthpangs.com in both mozilla firefox and Internet explorer. The ’share this’ feature shows up at the bottom. First I tried turning every thing off. Then I tried deleting the plugin and reinstalling. Then I tried purging the database. No matter what I do, the ’share this’ information (least, I think that’s what it is, but given its persistent appearance, I’m open for other ideas) continues to show. If it weren’t causing such big problems on IE I’d let it go. Thoughts, ideas? Btw, at this point the plugin is deleted, every reference to it in the database has been purged… and yet it shows… somehow.

To remove the question mark from underneath the Digg Button icon, open the digg-button.php file and look for the “What’s this link?” and comment out the following:
// What’s this link?
// if($result)
// $result .= ”
//
// [?]
// “;
if($echo) echo $result; else return $result;
}

Ar,
The plugin should be compatible with 2.3
It is the “Share This” dialog, but it’s definitely not from Gregarious. If you look at the source, it has an ID of “wpsc_akst_form” and it also uses jQuery (the Gregarious version is self-contained). Does “wpsc” ring any bells? It could be another plugin with similar functionality.

I’m having the same issue with the Share It pop up showing miles away from the actual link. I noticed it works ok in themes that already have the callin, but it won’t work properly when you manually put it in the footer.
Yeh, location ‘could’ be the problem, but I have tried it in numerous different locations and it still doesn’t call the box to display under the Share It link.
It’s unfortunate because it means most of the time if someone clicks on the shareit button, they wont see the pop up.
Gregarious is a great plugin by the way and thanks for making it available and the support you continue to offer us.

Hi, I’ve been using this for a while, but for some reason on one of my articles, I have the diggs for someone elses article shown.
Is this a known issue?
spoken by Sarah on October 20, 2007 5:23 am | Permalink
Andy, try the wp_footer call inside the div#footer?
Nicky, it’s certainly a problem; theme designers should be using wp_footer() in their themes. You could disable the popup so the user is taken to the separate “Share This” page.
Sarah, this is probably caused by a little flaw in the Digg API (which has since been fixed). To fix this issue, you can edit the post, scroll down and find the “Custom Fields” section, then edit the “DiggData” field to contain the correct URLs.

Hi Ankur -

Andy, I think it’s to do with your CSS - if it was the positioning of the wp_footer it would be way off, if it was a javascript error it wouldn’t run at all. Use something like CSSEdit (Mac) or Xray (web-based) to check what’s going on.

For some reason JavaScript windows stopped showing and when user clicks on Share This he goes to Share This page. Can you look at my home page and tell me what’s wrong? I don’t see any JavaScript errors.
Also, when I am in the Wordpress Options for Gregarious, I try to add a new bookmarking service. In Internet Explorer there is no popup at all, in Firefox it asks for service name and URL but does not add it to the list. I am thinking of adding it from phpMyAdmin by editing the gregarious options value, but I don’t know PHP, so I am not sure how to append another service to the array - perhaps you can post a template…
3rd problem: many bookmarking services also need tags and descriptions for the bookmark. The existing services are setup with only two insertions: {url} and {title}. Is there an insertion for {tags} or {categories} of the post? Is there insertion for an excerpt from the post, e.g. {excerpt}?
Otherwise, awesome plugin, a must have for anyone!

This is not made clear in the options or documentation for this plugin - I will not be using at any more…
disclosed by Me on November 25, 2007 11:45 am | Permalink
“Me”: The plugin does not insert ‘hidden code’ that shows your email address. The Share This dialog is inserted into the footer of every page so it can pop up when the user clicks it. The email address shown in it is the same as the one shown when you leave a comment. No one else can see it.

Matthew Jurmann, are you using any other plugins that change your feed? Gregarious will only add the link to the end of your feed, but in your case, it’s showing at the start.

Pretty sure there is a bug possibly related to rotated monitors and or resolutions other than standard. The dialog box often will not appear or appears way at the bottom of the page.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?
expressed by Mark Monica on November 28, 2007 4:50 am | Permalink
Matt J, does it disappear if you disable Gregarious?
Mark M, that has occurred to some users, but it’s related to your template. Fiddling with the placing of the
wp_footer()call has helped some users, but it could just be a javascript or css conflict.uttered by Ankur on November 28, 2007 7:30 am | Permalink
Hey, I was trying to remove the link from the [?] that appears next to the digg button, but everytime I removed anything from digg button.php the entire site didn’t load up because of the error. Do you have any suggestions what exactly I have to remove so the [?] doesn’t show up?

Hey - I just wanted to let you know that the SHARE THIS issue I was having (Share This was showing up in my RSS feed before the text and making it annoying to read) has fixed itself. It is no longer a problem, and I have no idea what happened to fix it, but I don’t care.

I would like to ask if it is possible to make the “Share This” link visible only in the full post, because I use the “more” tag in all my posts and would like nothing to appear after the “continue reading” link.
I apologize for taking more of your time if this question has already been asked and answered before.
Thank you very much for your help.

Ankur, first: thanks for the fantastic plugin. Just installed it and set it up… I just need to get one issue ironed out.
I activated the Digg module to display a Digg badge before the content in any post that’s been Dugg. The PostBadge is activated and this is the code:
%DIGG%
%CONTENT%
%SHARE%
As you can see, everything looks in order, but the Digg badge is not showing up on my Dugg posts. E.g.:
http://www.greatwhitesnark.com/2007/11/28/stormtrooper-star-wars-cake/
I’ve also tried the %DIGG% without the DIV tags.
For what it’s worth, in the settings for the Digg module, when I select “For Dugg posts, show: Digg badge”, no image of a badge is displayed below the drop-down. The Compact badge doesn’t display on the settings page, either. I thought that was strange.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

With the increased user-base, I’m getting a lot of support queries for Gregarious. Unfortunately, as much as I’d love to, I just don’t have the time to provide help to everyone. I will formally resume answering support queries when I finally get the next version of the plugin released. But don’t hold your breath.

Maxim, there’s a list of services in the options page (click the second Share This icon). You can add them there.
Jimmeh, have you got a URL I can take a look at? Otherwise, view source and search for ‘digg’ until you find some script tags and check the link there.

Hey Ankur,
New question for your wonderful plugin. And wonderful is an understatement.
In any of my blog’s (in my name) single posts, I somewhat customized Gregarious’ options to hyperlink (Bookmark Or Email This To A Friend!) instead of using the button. Notice it’s displaying after another plugin to buy me a cup of coffee, which also inputs itself without need to edit code like Gregarious does.
So far I’ve played around with your plugin to try to position it after the coffee thing, yet no luck. I realize this is practically asking for technical help that might be beyond what you’re prepared to handle, but I’m just wondering if you have any suggestions how I could possibly make that happen with Gregarious based on what I’ve stated so far.
Just now, I tried to modify using code from the coffee plugin to show up below yours. No dice.
Any help? Thanks.
professed by David on March 27, 2008 12:15 am | Permalink
Hey Ankur,
Don’t know if my most recent comment showed up here, but I asked about how to get Gregarious to show up, say, before or after my coffee-tip link. Eventually I got it resolved.

I won’t have time to work on this until (at least) next year. However when I do, I’ll probably rewrite the plugin from scratch for 2.5 (or whatever the latest version is then). Gregarious has had 30,000+ downloads so there’s obviously a market.

determined by Ben on April 3, 2008 12:14 pm | Permalink
Most other plugins check referrers, etc. which is not ideal. You could theoretically (if you know php) extract the Digg button code from Gregarious and make it into a separate plugin. The advantage is that it uses the Digg API so it’s more accurate and you get few, if any, false results or “spam diggs”.
voiced by Ankur on April 3, 2008 12:37 pm | Permalink
Thanks Ankur. I am not that php savvy unfortunately. I had read about the Digg API advantage, the plug-in rules man. I hope that a compatible digg button comes out soon that utilizes the Digg API also.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Any updates to this? I can’t get it to work in wordpress 2.6.3 for some reason. I deactivated it to troubleshoot and then when I tried to reactivate it it gives a fatal error. How do I figure out what this fatal error is?
