Adding Tweetmeme to Pligg

The biggest social media site right now, is probably Twitter, and the best plugin for it has to be Tweetmeme.

So, let’s put the both of them to work for you.  Most Wordpress blogs, including this one, use the plugin Tweetmeme.  It simply allows people to Tweet your posts and it shows a count of how many times the post has been Tweeted.

Let’s put this to work on Pligg and hopefully add to your traffic and exposure.  It’s actually quite simple.

Open, link_summary.tpl, add where you want the button to appear:

{literal}
<script type="text/javascript"><!–mce:0–></script>
<script src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js" type="text/javascript"><!–mce:1–></script>
{/literal}

That’s it.

In the example above it will appear like this:

Tweetmeme for Pligg

Tweetmeme for Pligg

If you want the full size button, remove this line:

tweetmeme_style = ‘compact’;

which will give you this:

Tweetmeme and Pligg Fullsize

Tweetmeme and Pligg Fullsize

You can see a working example at FAQPAL.

    Since I have little JavaScript experience I was wondering if anyone could point me towards a tutorial or code me one. I could do it with just a link and PHP but I want to use Ajax.
