That’s it, tell me what you want, what icons you want added be that share or follow links.. Tell me what’s on your mind
So far I have had requests to add Plurk, Ning, auto publishing to social network site and mobile support as well as the (in our opinion) dreaded facebook like button. Let us know what you want.
So with that in mind, get commenting…
Hey Andy,
Thanks a lot for this nice plugin, which is very useful for a newbie like me.
Need your help.
I have placed the plugin to show buttons just below the post.
But i want to show google adsense ads just below the post and then “share and follow”.
i am a n newbie and dont have any idea of css. Plz help.
Hey Rajeev,
Not the easiest answer in the world to understand this one, but I will try to make it as clear as I can.
You have two choices here…
1) WordPress uses Hooks, there are many of them, and we as programmers can hook into them. We can also give priority to these hooks so that they appear in the order that we want.
The hook that you want to work with is called
the_content().The share and follow plugin is set to a priority of 10 when hooking into the_content(), so if you can find a plugin or write your own function to hook into the_content() you can set it up with a priority of 1 and therefore make it show up first. this will take some brain scratching and programming skills. http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/the_content
2) get a plugin that uses a shortcode to display your ads, this shortcode would be placed in the content of your post at the end when you write it, and when wordpress shows that page or post on the screen it will convert that shortcode into whatever adverts have been associated with it. http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API

Thanks andy for such fast response.
i am using atahualpa theme.
it has many theme options. I had put adsense code in “THE LOOP” area.
From here it shows on every post end (but in between post and ad, it shows “share and follow”)
From this point, can you help me, where to put code in the loop area???
Hey Rajeev
as I hook into the_content() when auto adding, the best thing for you to do is this.
1) in the share and follow admin screen exclude the plugin from Posts & Pages for sharing
2) edit your index.php, single.php and page.php and make the code look like this
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php adsense_code(); ?>
<?php my_share_links(); ?>
this way it uses a template tag to grab the settings for your sharing and not the auto added stuff, that way you can choose the order. Maybe you don’t want to edit the index.php as that would no doubt put share links on the homepage, which you may not want.

andy
Thanks andy for the guidance.
i found the way from your guide
IF SOMEBODY IS USING “ATAHUALPA THEME”
Just Go to “THE LOOP” area
find this code:
<?php bfa_post_pagination('‘.__(‘Pages:’,'atahualpa’).’‘,”); ?>
just below this, put
That’s it, you are thru…..
Hi Andy,
I stumbled across your Plugin this morning when Add to Any wasn’t working correctly on my site. I have been playing around with share and follow and really like it but have two requests:
1. Is there a way that you could incorporate links to specific email services like the Add to Any Plugin does (AOL, Yahoo, GMail, and Hot Mail would be great). The current email button just opens up whatever email program is installed on the computer but as you know many people check their email thru their browser not Outlook or a similar program.
2. Is there a way to make the share buttons appear to the right of the picture below each video on my site instead of below the thumbnail image of the video? Here’s an example page:
Hey Big Geek Daddy,
1. in time I will add it
2.
ul.socialwrap {float:right}3. Not herd of Power Of Music before but will look to add it.
regards
andy
Forgot the page link:
Power of Music
A nice plugin, but unfortunately breaks the StationPro Theme in Internet Explorer. A custom background disappears and is replaced by white (the original default background being black). Any idea what migth cause this, as it is its unusable for me as majority of people still unfortunately stick to IE?
Jaana
It does help if
1) you put your request into the support forum and not on the What do you want in the next release bit of the website
2) actually have the plugin loaded so that I can observe the problem and offer a fix
As you have not got the plugin loaded, there is nothing I can do for you
Andy
Thanks Andy, I will post to the forum later, was in a bit of a hurry when posting the first time.
I can’t have the plugin loaded at the moment as its a band website and the band in question has a busy week with appearances on national media etc., so can’t have the front page looking a mess with no text.
It would be nice to be able to center the little icons on a page or post through the settings panel like I have done here using code: http://www.jetpimp.com —
Thanks for the great plugin!
Support Forem is not working. I would like a way to post a problem with the plugin, as in:
One of my clients is having problems with the print function in Chrome and Firefox on Windows where the plugin only prints part of the post, then a bunch of blank pages.
Maybe others have had this problem and have some idea how to solve it…
Working the support forum now. just moved it to a new location and there are some teething problems.
As for your problems, I would suggest that you first try a different machine (like your own) to try to print from. If that yields the same response then it is clearly something on the webpage that is causing the problem (like and advertisement), if not then the client machine is at fault. Without being able to see the page I have no idea what the content is or what it looks like. It could be something else on the client like they have Adblock installed or other things.
Nobody else at all is suffering this problem. Are you personally suffering with it?
Please insert studiVZ.net, schuelerVZ.net and meinVZ.net. They are very feamous in Germany.
yes we will look to add that.
Hi,
I love your plugin, it’s briliant! But I just set-up my own url shorting script from YOURLS, and it would be nice that your plugin shows my own short url when you share it with your friends. I use the TweetUpdater plugin to use my short urls in a Tweet, maybe it can help you to use it in your plugin.
Keep up the good work!
Greetings,
Thias
How about you make a donation for this development for you and then you will see it quickly. I currently use Bit.ly and am very happy with that.
Dear reader,
Is it possible to open the link like facebook or twitter in a popup window
Thanks for help
from the Netherlands Roland
yes, but you will have to pay for the development to make that specially for you. Otherwise feel free to edit the code to make the required changes yourself.
Hi!
I cannot change “follow” or” follow-us” images, but i have to do it. Because I cannot choose any “follow word” of my site language. Is there any way to rewrite these words in Turkish?
Thanks!
DD
yes, you will need to create your own images and then use CSS to replace the existing image with your own.
please use the support forum in future as requested.
Hi, j have a problem too.. I installed everything ok, but in the end I put a invalid CDN key and fu… it all… I tried to install it many times after, but always say: Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error/ Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in C:\wamp\www\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\share-and-follow\share-and-follow.php on line 1350.. J went to editor, but don’t know what to change to work it again.. Please help me if you can… Thank you…
Milos,
Can you please make sure that you are running PHP5, that should resolve your issue. Check with your hosting agent as it should just be a few key clicks to make it live

Hi Andy,
Just wondering if there is a way to change the order of how the icons appear. In other words, I would like to have Twitter first, Facebook second, etc. etc.
Just installed the plug-in yesterday and love it…thanks!
Not yet unless you know you PHP in a big way. coming soon.
It would be nice to be able to place the buttons in the order I want. Also, a more button for those wanting to share in other ways, though that might make it load slower and that’s the part I really like about this. That, plus I just have to add one plugin to get both share and like (follow’s also nice, though not using that yet)
coming soon….
It would be great if the Prefix to the tweets could would prefix your choice of either URL only or title+URL instead of only prefixing the URL. In my case I would prefer to have the prefix text precede the title+URL. Currently in order to include the text I want I have to use the suffix field which I wanted to only contain the VIA @twittername as you suggest.
should give you the option already to have Title + URL it’s one of the radio button.
If I add flickr to the icons on the follow tab, it appears to take up 2 spaces ie it leaves a blank space. This only happens with the bar at either side, not at the top or bottom. I’ve tried adding others but so far only happens with flickr. Very minor point I know. Very nice otherwise.
thanks Mark, checking it out, but it should be the same as all the others….. it’s the way the php is done.
Thanks Andy, the tab is up on my site if you’re not sure what I mean.
Hey Mark
I’ve checked and it’s your theme that is causing the problem. There is line 302 in main.css that is
.flickr {padding: 0 0 20px 0;}
this is adding the extra space.
You can either delete it or you can add this line of css to the “Add your own CSS” section in the share and follow admin pages
#follow .flickr {padding-bottom:0 !important}

Andy
I recently found a plug-in that adds a comment bubble like the twitter/FB/SU ones you have. I can’t get it to place correctly on my blog, and would love it to be right next to the other ones I have. I’d love it if you can add that one to your options for the bottom/top of the post. Thanks for a great plug-in.
Have you considered adding Kaboodle bookmarking? It’s a hidden gem for e-commerce sites.
deb
there is no developers API or share link, only an browser installable toolbar. so no this cannot be setup at this time.

Andy
I love your plugin, thanks!
I have a suggestion about sharing on feeds to RSS and email newsletters. There are some plugins (eg addtoany) that allow you to have share buttons on feeds to emails and RSS – so while users are viewing the feed on their reader or email, they can share the post.
Would you be able to add that functionality to this plugin?
Thanks!
Really great plug-in, thanks so much for it.
One feature request: Make the email subject line a setting. A site I host for some friends (http://fantasticfangirls.org) does some phrase highlighting that was breaking the email button when it tried to insert a span element in the middle of the email URL. I fixed it by going and modifying the default subject line directly in the plug-in code but it would be really handy if the subject line was just another setting so I don’t have to fix it again next update if I haven’t gotten the element insertion fixed, and I think it might just be a handy setting if people want something different for the default subject.
Thanks again!
I’m enjoying your plugin.
I have one suggestion:
Maybe it’s possible to make a ‘Where to show’ option for the facebook like button and twitter retweet button. Just like you made with the share icons.
will be coming soon. I am busy working on version 2 which will be somewhat better and different.
regards
Andy
super!
tnx for the comment
