Heya deidrawilson,
Have you looked at Digg Digg?
On first glance it might still appear to be one of those overly complicated plugins, and it is 🙁
However, it is also highly customizable. If you click into the Manual Placement admin menu option, you will see the code required to insert only the social media links you want and either in regular or compact modes.
Not sure how willing you are to get into your template pages and add script code, but this one for a Text Only Facebook Share Link looks really good (I may add it to some of my sites!)
And here’s some code for creating a text link for retweeting.
Hope that helps!
Cheers! :)
Thank you James!
For those that want to know, I ended up using this info and just changed a few things as needed to suit my needs!
Twitter:
<a href="http://twitter.com/share?text=<?php echo urlencode(the_title()); ?>&url=<?php echo urlencode(the_permalink()); ?>&via=twitter&related=<?php echo urlencode("coderplus:Wordpress Tips, jQuery and more"); ?>" title="Share on Twitter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tweet This</a>
In the code you can edit via=twitter with your twitter handle.Ex.If your twitter username is martin then you can change it to via=martin you can also edit the related account by editing related=coderplus: WordPress Tips, jQuery and more
For Facebook:
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=<?php the_permalink();?>&t=<?php the_title(); ?>">Share this on Facebook</a>
Good luck to all!
Right On, deidrawilson!
You did some groovy stuff there. Any chance we can see where you integrated it into your WordPress site? Would love to see the functionality you’ve groomed here in action!
Cheers! :)
