Addthis customization

[extragear]

Greetings:

We are using the Addthis code. We took what was originally provided by shopsite and modified it to our liking. One remaining behavior (from the original code) we need to change is the window that is presented when our social sharing icon is clicked on. See the following link. If you click on our sharing icon, a rather lengthy list is presented to the user. Ideally the same box that occurs when the icon is moused over is produced when the icon is clicked on.

Or, at the minimum we'd be able to reduce the list presented in the box produced when the icon is clicked on. I do see that there is a settings option, but using that doesnt lock the edits made.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Tim

I should include that I found this on the Addthis website. http://support.addthis.com/customer/portal/articles/381244-destinations-services

I went to the page you referred to and found this code

Code: Select all

var addthis_config = {
           services_compact: 'email, facebook, twitter, more',
           services_exclude: 'print'
}

Here is the code from my ShopSite back office.

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;pub=xa-4a78769c7cc46f3b" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', '[URL]', '[TITLE]')" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()"><img src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/lg-share-en.gif" width="125" height="16" alt="Bookmark and Share" style="border:0"/></a><script type="text/javascript"           src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js?pub=xa-4a78769c7cc46f3b"></script>


I inserted the code from the addthis site into the code from ShopSite placing it just before the 'src=' to come up with this:

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;pub=xa-4a78769c7cc46f3b" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', '[URL]', '[TITLE]')" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()"><img src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/lg-share-en.gif" width="125" height="16" alt="Bookmark and Share" style="border:0"/></a>
<script type="text/javascript" var addthis_config = { services_compact: 'email, facebook, twitter',   services_exclude: 'print' }
 src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js?pub=xa-4a78769c7cc46f3b"></script>


I published my store and when I hover over the addthis link all I see is Email, Facebook, Twitter and not all the other options that were there before.

So you just need to go to the addthis site and find values you want to include and add them to the ShopSite code. There are probably similar optons for what displays when you click on the link but I'll leave that for and exercise for you to try.

You might find AddShoppers sharing buttons useful (http://www.addshoppers.com) -- it's similar to AddThis, but specifically for eCommerce. Only the social networks that matter for eCommerce are included, so it's both easier for your visitors and better for driving sales. Plus, AddShoppers tracks social ROI so you can see how sharing drives revenue.

You can grab sharing buttons and be up and running in 5 minutes at http://www.addshoppers.com, and please let me know if you have any questions!
