Hi,

I’ll take a look at the include page plugin, but I’m not hopeful – it WP doesn’t provide much information about the context in which a post is being rendered (it’s even hard to tell if the post is being rendered as an excerpt or full content).

One suggestion is you could use the checkbox on the post meta screen to turn off sociable in selected posts, if you know you’ll be including them in another posts.

Craig, assuming you’re still using the free plugin, there was a bug that prevented the ‘sociable_custom.css’ file from loading. If you try it again it should work now.

Hi Helen,

You can add a ‘sociable-custom.css’ file to the sociable directory. The file won’t get overwritten during upgrades, and you can use it to override the default CSS settings.

To change the left/right spacing from 2px to 10px, try something like:

.sociable-img {
padding: 0 10px 0 10px !important;
}

I hope that helps!

Hi,

The Sociable Pro version adds the Facebook ‘like’ button (see here: https://www.facebook.com/sitetour/connect.php). It doesn’t display any content from Facebook though, other than a count of how many people ‘liked’ a post (and optionally their profile pictures).

What was it you wanted to display?

Hi,

I’d be happy to work with you to resolve the issue. Can you provide a link to your site so I can it in action? Also, please send me an email (tompokress @ gmail.com) so I can send you a debugging file if needed.

Hi, I answered your email as well. The icon sets only include whatever icons the artist created. The only set that includes every icon is the ‘default’ set.

The Sociable Pro description has pictures illustrating exactly which icons are in each icon set. It also lets you upload your own icons from the hudnreds of free sets available on the internet.

You probably also noticed that some icon sets have services that Sociable doesn’t (yet) support. I’m working on adding all of them.

Anyway, if you find another icon set that has every social network just tet me know and I’d be happy to include it.

Hi,

You can try the newer verion, Sociable for WordPress 3.0 (https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/sociable-30/

If you prefer to use the original Sociable, then this may help: I think the issue is in how IE handles opactiy for the ‘dimming’ effect (where the icons are greyed out until mouseover).

In the new Sociable I switched off the ‘dimming’ effect for IE because I could never get it looking right.

If you prefer to use the old version you could try commenting out the opacity lines in the CSS file or change:
filter: alpha(opacity=40)

to

filter: alpha(opacity=100)

Hi,

Please try my updated version of Sociable for WordPress 3.0 and let me know if that solves it:

Hi Guys,

I’m glad I stumbled on this post. I think most plugins use the ‘settings’ menu so I’l leave the settings there but I’ll try to clarify the installation instructions.

By the way Sociable for WordPress 3 (it has its own forums) is here:

Hi,

I never did figure out plugin home page thing…oh well, thanks for letting me know though.

Hi,

That makes sense, I’ll apply the filter later – I’ll try to patch the code today. Did you have a specific plugin in mind that actually uses the filter or are you writing something new?

Thanks for the suggestion! I just added Plurk, Orkut and Buzz.

Hi, thanks for bringing this to my attention. The URL is “url encoded” so the %2F and so on are normal.

I think what’s making the FaceBook share look weird is that your star ratings plugin is embedding some javascript (“PDRTJS_settings…”) in the post content.

As a workaround could you create an excerpt for the post (the plugin will submit that instead of the content), or try a different ratings plugin?

If others folks have this problem, though, I’ll look into stripping <script> tags out before the post is shared.

Hi There,

Thanks for the feedback! Could you please try again with the latest version (4.0.9)?

Send me an email if that doesn’t work for you and I’ll work with you to resolve it.
