Here is an excellent article on how to use the "
addthis.com" widget with Community Server by mystyleit:
http://mystyleit.com/blogs/mystyleit/archive/2008/02/07/adding-social-bookmarking-to-community-server-2007.aspx
I used the instructions with Community Server 2008 without any modification even though they were written for CS 2007.
In case it is not clear in the original post, here are my steps:
- sign up with addthis.com
- get your button code from addthis.com. I used the "website" button version and the dropdown style option.
- URL encode the button code you got from addthis.com using http://www.albionresearch.com/misc/urlencode.php
- paste the URL encoded button code into the PasteHere variable in the line below, which is the new config element:
<add name = "SPWReferItModule" type = "SPWorks.CS.Freeware.SPWReferIt,SPWorks.CS.Freeware" ReferLinks="PasteHere" />
- paste the entire new config element as modified by step 4 (e.g., <add name ... />) into CommuntyServer.config at the end of the CSModules element.
