Social Share/Vote Button plugin for joomla content

Update 03.09.2010: This extension got approved in JED. If you like this extension pls write reviews and vote in JED.

All share count or “Social share/Vote button” is a joomla plugin that shows social share or vote button in articles. It contains all popular social network or share/bookmark sites that supports button/badge for vote/share. I was inpired by the wordpres plugin “Digg Digg WordPress Plugin” which I am using in my blog for many days.

Social share/Vote button

Features

Social Share/Vote Button plugin supports the following social network:

  • Facebook
  • Fbshare.me(Alternative for facebook share)
  • Twiter
  • Topsy(Alternative for twitter share)
  • Tweetmeme(Alternative for twitter share)
  • Diggg
  • Delicious
  • Stumble
  • Google Buzz

Social Share and Vote button now supports other components!

  • Content (com_content)
  • K2(com_k2)
  • Quickfaq (com_quickfaq)
  • Eventlist(com_eventlist)

Button positions

  • Before Article
  • After Article
  • Left Aligned
  • Right Aligned

Button Visibility and Control

  • Control Each button’s visibility(Show/Hide)
  • Exclude for specific section
  • Exclude for specific category
  • Exclude for specific menu id
  • Show/Hide on front page
  • Sort button as weight

There are options to show before content, after content, left float, right float

Again, there are options to show/hide button for home page/front page, category view, section view or for any sepecific category whatever you need.

I am working to sort by weight to show buttons oder as you need. Also will add redit. If you have other ideas let me know. Btw, adding lazzy load like the digg-digg plugin of wordpress will be cool, hope to add in my joomla plugin.

How to install

  • Download the plugin as zip
  • Install from joomla admin panel like any other joomla extension
  • Go to plugins page and “publish” the plugin
  • Configure the plugin as you need
  • Change order of that plugin for all content plugins to change the plugin action order so that buttons show near content perfectly…
  • that’s it baby!

  1. Helo,

    Firstly, fantastic plugin.

    I would like to know however, how do i order by the icons, i.e facebook first, then digg, then twitter. I tried the order by weight, by changing the weight to like 20,30,40 vice versa, there seem to be no changes.

    Thanks again.

    I just updated the download link. Uninstall current one and install the new one. Go the plugin setting page and put width height as you want for facebook like. Hope this will solve your empty space problem. Also thanks for using it.

  4. These are the errors that are still showing when I turn off the homepage option.

    Also I would like to leave the homepage option ON, but if I do it breaks from the parameters of the ARTICLES sections and pushes the POLLS and ADS to the right, messing up the template layout.

    Thank you again.

    jerry: First again I wanted to say thanks,Downloading again did solve the first problem error. However I want to exclude the buttons on the homepage and when I do I get like 15 errors on different lines.

    The reason I want to take off the homepage option is because it doesn’t contain my articles, it totally messes up my website’s look, pushing everything to the right.

    I am using the JOOMLA MILKYWAY template.

    I just updated again, can you pls download again and let me know the error msg if it shows again. I am using this plugin in my bzness site and used now to show in home page and working fine. Please download again and or let me know error msges or your site address if the plugin is active

    Good to see the the fix worked. Can you pls write about for which params it didn't work. I don't have much time to debug or test but if you can help with certain criteria for which it's not showing actual result then it will be good for me to fix asap. I will add official twitter button soon which is best for retweet. thank you

  12. Dear Machumara,

    thx for sharing this fantastic Plugin. It works really great.

    I have only one Question:

    How can I exclude the Buttons from garys cookbook Component?

  13. @Machumara,

    Thank you for your swift reply. Excellent job. Problem solved.

    However, I have to mention that the plugin feels unstable. It works great as long as I don't mess with its parameters. If I exclude a button or change any attribute it doesn't work.

    Anyway I don't need to change anything therefore I am going to use it as it is cause I like it and it actually works.

    If you need any help or clarification on what I wrote don't hesitate to ask me. I am happy to help you identify any problems may occur.

  14. First wanted to say thank you for this extension, but

    I am getting this error

    Notice: Undefined property: plgContentSocialshareandvotebutton::$_fbliketyle in C:wampwwwatencionpluginscontentsocialshareandvotebutton.php on line 432

    And when I unclick the show in home option more errors come out on different lines.

    I am using the joomla-milkyway template for my site. If you can please help me

    Thank you again

  15. @Loannis

    Thank you for your review. I just updated the plugin for link issue. Can you pls download again , uninstall the old one, install new one and check if that's working well or still have same problem. I have test in my live dev site and it's showing facebook share count for diff artciles properly in blog or section view. Please update me if that happens same for new version for you.

  16. Dear Machumara,

    Thank you for the plugin you shared with us. Easy to install, easy to customise a good job indeed.

    However, it seems that the facebook share button doesn't count properly when shown on home page or section or category. It is stuck at 53 shares for every article. Please check it out on my home page if you like to.

    The same applies for the FB like button, as it shows that 52 people liked the post plus one, my self…53 overall.

    Both button work fine when shown on each article separately.

    I would be obliged if you could advise me on how to fix it, as I really like this plugin.

    Kind regards

  17. Is this compatible with k2 items? I'm using another popular shareme tool right now and can't get it to display on k2 items. I really hope this will.

  18. I have uploaded the plugin and it works great…except it will not let me save an article. I have tried 3 editors – tiny MCE, JCE 154, and no editor. All 3 have an error message when I try to save the article, whether it is an exsisting article or a new one it's all the same:

    Fatal error: Class 'JSite' not found in /home/content/……./w2_barriere/plugins/content/socialshareandvotebutton.php on line 63

    Please help if you can, we like the way this plugin works and want to use it on our site.

    Thanks,

    sspider
