what would you want it to do???  we have posted here several times how to add facebook like or post to twitter type buttons…

and you can find it in our codex:  http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/faq/problem-with-post-edit-buttonow-to/problem-with-post-edit-buttonow-to-add-twitter-facebook-plus-one-or-other-buttons/

otherwise, please explain what you would want this plugin to do…

Hi,

 

Perhaps it is not only the buttons Sharon was thinking of.

When I read it – I thought, man I would love to use a plugin, that would post topics from a wp-simple-press-forum to a facebook-page, like it is possible to do with regular blog-posts in WP with plugins such as:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook/

or

http://ottopress.com/wordpress-plugins/simple-facebook-connect/

or 

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordbooker/

 

Thanks,

Jacob

You can setup a RSS feed that pushes new posts to twitter using feedburner.  I haven’t looked at doing it on Facebook for the forums but you can do it for blog posts so it’s probably possible.

hi there is a plugin for wordpress (can i say name?) which is easily embedded in any post on wp and has many sharing options

maybe we could embed it in every topic? works like if function_exists

like the button in facebook developers

you can see a post in my page look down it has the like button and next to it the like counter

If you used the example in the Codex How to pages replacing the

layout=standard

with

layout=button_count

should do it.

I would have to play with it then and see what all needs to be changed.

You can use the Facebook page that creates the sharing button code and have it create the code for what you want. Then compare it to what you have now.

If I get a chance I will take a look and if easy enough add it to the codex entry.
