Digg This Button

Description

This plugin gives you full control of the digg button. Some of the features:

  • Customize the skin (digg currently offers the default skin, an icon or compact version)
  • Choose specific options for each post and page. For example, only display digg buttons on certain posts.
  • Control where your button appears on lists, pages, and posts
  • Select the digg topic you want your posts to be tied to, and you can customize this on each post/page.
  • Digg information fields like title, topic and description are prefilled for easy submissions.
  • Choose whether to open digg in a new tab/window.
  • Control where the button appears in your post between top/bottom and left/right, or use custom inline css rules.

If you have any problems with the plugins, please visit our http://netweblogic.com/forums/ for further information and provide some feedback first, we may be able to help. It's considered rude to just give low ratings and nothing reason for doing so.

If you find this plugin useful and would like to say thanks, a link, digg, or some other form of recognition to the plugin page on our blog would be appreciated.

  • Hi Ben, thanks for the screenshot. I'm doing some spring cleaning on my plugins this week, so stay tuned for a bugfix!
  • Im trying to get this button to appear underneath my ReTweet This button but I can only make it appear right next to it. Is there any code I can put in to make it so?
  • @Geoff
    Currently, you would have to edit the retweet button styling so it has a clear:right

    I will be working on this plugin in the next two weeks and will add the possibility to add custom CSS rules to the button.
  • Justin
    If I want to add the button manually into my template so it comes up in a custom spot what's the code?
  • You can use shortcode [diggthis] on specific posts/pages or use a function diggthisbutton directly in your template. There are attributes you can pass on too but I will have to look into that and make some clearer instructions.

    this button is cool but when clicked it diggs the same story from the previous post
  • Do you have a url where this problem occurs? It works fine on here...

    I removed the button because I found it kept posting the same story
  • Strange.... I can't reproduce this error. Chances are it's a theme issue, because the submission data passed on to dig uses the wordpress loop functions.Sorry I can't help on that.

    Nice blog by the way, good read :)
  • matthewliptak
    tried this on two themes and it stil is doing the same

    reading that Digg doesnt like ASP.NET blogs
  • hmm... ok, two possible ways of investigating further:

    1) You enable the plugin and let me have a peek and see the error in action. Hopefully that'll give a clue as to what's causing the problem.

    2) If you're able to send me a zip of your source code and a database dump I could run your blog locally on my server and debug the error.

    Let me know if you're interested.
