| - | For use with [[Blogger]] blogs, but probably can easily be adapted to other template based platforms (e.g., [[WordPress]]).

| - | ==Required Skills==
| + | |
| - | You should be able to edit and save your [[Blogger template]] file.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ==Other Requirements==
| + | |
| - | You'll probably need an [http://www.addthis.com AddThis] account/username to use this hack. Don't worry, it's free.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ==Description== What does it do?
| + | |
| - | This hack, through use of JavaScript, will add an '''AddThis button''' to each of your posts. AddThis is a free social bookmarking sharing tool that provides a ''one button for all'' functionality to your blog.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ==Method==
| + | |
| - | * Open template file: on your dashboard, go to '''Layout | Edit HTML''' to open the template file.
| + | |
| - | * Create a backup: click '''Download Full Template''' to download a backup copy before editing your template file (just in case).
| + | |
| - | * Check '''Expand Widget Templates''' to see the full template.
| + | |
| - | * Search for the following lines of code (you will insert the ''AddThis code'', i.e. the hack, right above these lines):
| + | |
| - | <nowiki>
| + | |
| - | </div>
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'></nowiki>
| + | |
| - | * Insert the JavaScript code so that the result looks like this:
| + | |
| - | <nowiki>
| + | |
| - | <!-- ADDTHIS CODE STARTS HERE -->
| + | |
| - | <script type='text/javascript'>
| + | |
| - | expr:addthis_url = '<data:post.url/>';
| + | |
| - | expr:addthis_title = '<data:post.title/>';
| + | |
| - | expr:addthis_pub = 'JOHNDOE';
| + | |
| - | </script>
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | <span style='float:right; display:inline;'>
| + | |
| - | <script src='http://s7.addthis.com/js/addthis_widget.php?v=12' type='text/javascript'/>
| + | |
| - | </span>
| + | |
| - | <!-- ADDTHIS CODE ENDS HERE -->
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | </div>
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'></nowiki>
| + | |
| - | : You'll want to replace ''JOHNDOE'' (line 5) with your AddThis username. I'm not sure if it even works without a given username. If it does, there will be no need for an AddThis account.
| + | |
| - | * That's it! Just click '''Save Template''' and watch the result.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ==Modifications (optional)==
| + | |
| - | When using the code as given here, the ''AddThis button'' will be placed in the post footer section, aligned to the right. Optionally, you can place the button in the post header section or elsewhere. Just paste the JavaScript code suitably. Remember to always make a backup of the template file prior to any changes! A broken template file can make your blog unusable and it's quite a mess to repair a template file manually.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Of course, you can change the ''float:right;'' statement (line 8) to ''float:center;'' or ''float:left;'' to align the button to the center or to the left, respectively.
