DISQUS

Scott Hendison · 2 years ago

Wow, great job Michelle. You didn't waste much time did you?

I do like plug IM, but I suspect that Sphinn will really catch on in a big way, because of the visibility of Danny and Search Engine Land.

I'll have to get around to putting this on my blog as well...

I appear to have some problems saving options

AndyBeard · 2 years ago

Adding the Sphinn plugin wipes the option_value for the plugim plugin within wp_options

It is possible to manually change the database settings to "None" so that you can manually position widgets for both plugins.

Hey Andy - thanks for the heads-up!

It's been fixed - you can download the new version above.

10 thumbs up Michelle. Thanks. :)

Does this plugin work for WP 2.2?

Michelle do you have an understanding of the framework Sphinn is using? Are the using Pligg with the "myEVB" mod?


I left a message in the contact form, so please send me an e-mail.

Thanks!

Michelle, will the plugin NOT appear UNTIL it has been Sphunn? My digg plugin is like that - I'd really like to add a Sphinn button, but not unless if only shows if the story has already been Sphunn.

Michelle MacPhearson · 2 years ago

@Safi: I am running 2.2.1 and it works just fine.

I believe Sphinn is using Pligg, but I don't know any more then that.

@Rae: If you use the default settings, the button will appear whether the post has been spun or not. If you poke around this blog you'll see none of the older posts were Spun and the button displays reading "Sphinn This!"

If you don't want it to appear in every post (i.e. you'll only be submitting some posts to Sphinn) you can use one of the custom configurations & insert the call for the button on a per-post basis.

I'll probably implement this here in the future as I don't need (or expect) my Twitter updates to make it to Sphinn. :-)

The Readme.txt explains the different configurations.

Hi Michelle,

Great plugin, thanks.

I noticed there maybe a problem though (as you can see from the linked blog). When you have the position set as 'top left' you have the code appearing on the main list of posts (it is fine on the single post page).

I think this maybe connected to the use of the_excerpt for this page, rather than the_content.

Nick Wilsdon · 2 years ago

Ah got it mended - Sorry , should have read the instructions ;)

Set the display to none on the options page and copied in the code to the single.php page

Thanks!

Hello,
Is it possible to use this on only SELECTED posts in my WP blog?

Thanks!

Nick Wilsdon · 2 years ago

Hi Marty,

I would look at this code example:

http://www.solo-technology.com/blog/2006/09/23/...

That would allow you to hide the sphinn button for certain categories. We've done some hacks on client blogs to allow material to be shown on a post by post basis by using an array and a custom field value - but that takes a little more work.

Rae · 2 years ago

Thanks Michelle, but I don't want to have to manually put it into posts either. My Digg plugin basically says "if post has been dugg, show digg button... if post has not been dugg, do not" - all automatically.

Thomas McMahon · 2 years ago

I think this extension is nice but would also love to have it only appear if the story has been Spunn. If not, then don't show it.

Scott Clark · 2 years ago

What would be awesome is if you could define the Wordpress 2.3+ tags that display the tag. E.g. SEO, SEM. This way we don't have posts about our Halloween costume showing the Sphinn logo.

It's not hard to code this, but if someone else has done it I'll go into code-begging-to-save-time mode.

If I do the alternation I'll share.

tyler dewitt · 2 years ago

great plugin now if I can figure out how to remove it from my main page where it shows my recent post

Ilias · 2 years ago

Great plugin, thanks ! I'm already using it.

Marios Alexandrou · 1 year ago

Thanks for the plugin! It got me 99% of where I wanted to be.

For those still interested in having the Sphinn button show only after receiving a Sphinn, I've described a WordPress theme modification that accomplishes just that.

Is there anyway to make this button transparent so that it blends with a different color backgroun?

Michelle MacPhearson · 1 year ago

The button image itself actually comes from Sphinn - it's pulled from theri servers to give the live view of the # of Sphinns. If they have a transparent button (didn't at the time of making the plugin) I'd be happy to modify the code.

I added the plugin and it's great. It seems that the text is a bit out of center in firefox. Or it could be our wordpress theme. Anyway great plugin!

Wil Reynolds · 1 year ago

Michelle, thanks for this plugin, as we are rebuilding our site right now it'll help shave some time, much thanks!

ADF News · 1 year ago

Thanks for the info. It's a lot easier to install than first appears. It seems pretty good in generating traffic. Not as good as Stumbleupon, but worth the effort.

seotechbranch · 1 year ago

Nice plugin for SEO, clean web design and cool graphics are a waste without good social networking sites like this helping to get the word out about cool websites.

Pushkar Gaikwad · 1 year ago

Hi Michelle, Great work to get the plugin. Lets hope it work 2.6.2 now...

Cheers

Jd Webb · 1 year ago

I'm starting to see this button on a lot of blog posts, now. I was wondering what it was. Thanks for the great explanation!

Dhruv Shah · 1 year ago

I am loving this plugin. thanks Michelle.

Zane DeFazio · 1 year ago

This is a great plugin, very easy to implement. One issue I am having with it which I guess isn't a big deal, is with Web Developer's Toolbar for Firefox. When I view the CSS through Web Developer's Toolbar it shows that the styles associated with the Sphinn button (.mnm-publish, etc) load as many times there are Sphinn buttons. So a page that has 10 posts with 10 Sphinn buttons the styles are loaded 9 more times than they need to be. I was curious to whether that was on the plugin's side or Sphinn's, or if someone has resolved this issue.
