hi

just installed Share This but while it's installed ok, activating gives the following errors:

I will say right off that.. well, in the message it refers to share-this1. I couldn't access the Codex when I resubscribed, so tried to do an install the old-fashioned way i.e. FTPing plugins into the directory... I then tried to disable Share This as well as the Preview plugin, which is working ok now. I'm wondering if since I downloaded a new version of Share-this it has, somewhere inside the zip file, a '1' after something, which has confused matters? (I have deactivated, deleted, reinstalled via the uploader, etc, the current failing install is most definitely not in a 'share-this1' folder!)

If that seems to be the case to you, how to I 'clean' things out? (And if not, any other ideas?)

Thanks

Stuart

ahem, I'm sure there's something just not right about replying to your own queries...

Anyway, I got it sorted, it was simpler than I thought - despite there being no share-this directory, it was still insisting on making the new one 'share-this1'/

So now it's sorted, it's set to show all he sharing services icons... but this presents another question - where have the buttons actually got to? I do have some FB and Twitter sharing icons installed for the Wordpress site, these are showing up ok as ever, is it possible that they are somehow overriding the Share This ones.

Thanks

Please look at the name of the plugin folder... you have share-this1... it should just be share-this... for some reason, on rare occasions, the wp uploader is doing that and we have not been able to figure out why... but a simple change in the folder name gets you working...

Thanks - yup, I guess if anyone else asks then ask them if they could have got another copy of the plugin into the folder somehow (ok, it could maybe happen behind the scenes with some directory glitch, but I reckon the manual copy just confused it!)

If you have any clues on the second part of my ramble i.e. have the buttons disappeared due to other similar WP plugins overriding them, that would be welcome!

the buttons can go where ever you want them... just put the template function where you want to display them...

yikes! Looks a bit, well, technical.

I'm sure that you would recommend your plugins ahead of 3rd party stuff, but given that I already have some sharing stuff installed (and that I'd have to figure out a way of disabling them rather than duplicate the functions within S:P) any good reason why I shouldn't just use them?

sorry, just use what? I dont think you will get the wp plugin ones to nwork in the forum... they will fixate on the wp page not the true ncanonical url of the forum topic or page...

hadn't really thought of that aspect - I've not tried it yet and obviously I've not seen the S:P one working. It does look like the links produced (by TweetThis) may refer to the entire thread rather than individual posts.
 
But I don't think it's possible to restrict TweetThis to just showing on regular pages... but I'd be surprised if someone else hadn't encountered this before (can't find any support topics though)

Had a look at the Codex again, but it assumes too much knowledge of the inner workings of the system for me.

actually its quite simple... all the different options it provides nmight be a bit daunting...

Why dont you just tell us where you want to display it and we will tell nyou how... its only going to be adding one or two lines of code to your nsp theme...
