Has anyone used Sharethis.com - could be great for business.

Post by Jaz » Mon Nov 24, 2008 10:25 pm

The other day I was on a supplier’s web site and I saw a "Share This" link. I clicked on it and notice that it is tied into just about every major web resource. Does anyone have experience with the ShareThis web service? Here is the site where I first found it:

buyheatshrink.com

I noticed that they have an API

Has anyone tried to integrate this into an Able store?

I think it could be easily incorporated into AC7. Just create a conlib control and inject the javascript into the body. Have a look at this control. I just used the standard one.

I have a lot of different pieces of javascript code that I have been looking to put into my website, but I keep having trouble. Is there a post anywhere about using a standard control for this purpose. I guess I am just looking for a starter file/code and a note where to inject the javascript code.

Thanks,

Check the ConLib/GoogleAnalyticsWidget control.

I tried to use the control this control you made, and it works great. However, I put it in the content section of the page and it is showing up above the header. Any Ideas?

Code: Select all

[[ConLib:Custom/SocialBookmarks]][[ConLib:Custom/ShareThisWidget]]
[[ConLib:CategoryBreadCrumbs HideLastNode="False" Visible="true"]]
<div class="pageHeader"><h1>$Product.Name</h1></div>
<table style="margin-bottom:8px">
<tr>
<td class="productimg">
[[ConLib:custom/ProductImage ShowImage="true" ]]<br />
<!-- #if($Product.Images.Count > 0)
<a href="#" onclick="window.open('ProductImages.aspx?

Hmm that's because we are injecting the javascript in page. As there is no dynamic info required for javascript so better we should place it statically instead of first building the string and then injecting it into page.
Edit the control file and replace all its contents with following code.

Code: Select all

<%@ Control Language="C#" ClassName="ShareThisWidget" %>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://w.sharethis.com/widget/?tabs=web%2Cpost%2Cemail&charset=utf-8&style=default&publisher=9aa5e2e6-abe5-47dd-b5f6-da363f5da7ab\">
</script>
