Hey guys,
When using my adsense account google kept nagging me to use their +1 button eventually I thought, why not?
I wanted it in the same place as the other social network-y type things under the "Share this page" section near the bottom of a view-thread page.
So I got what i wanted (http://www.hummy.tv/) click through on to a discussion/thread and you'll see at the bottom.
This is what I did.
First of all get your google +1 code:
http://www.google.com/webmasters/+1/button/
Once you have your code, you need to put the javascript in either in the <head> section or just above the </body>.
I used "footer" template and put it right at the bottom of the template after all code. It appears just above 2 jquery scripts then its </body> .. close enough I recon!
Save this change then go back to Templates and look for: "share_page".
This one is more awkward.. and a bit hacky! I didn't have time to add to any stylesheets so I cheated and used the class from the FacebookLike feature to give it the correct position and layout, otherwise the +1 button floats to the right.
You can put the button where you like, but I put it between the Twitter and Facebook icons this is the code you need:
Make sure you change the "size" to the size you want, but I believe the medium one matches the other social network plugin things..
Your code for the share_page should now look like this:
Now Save! That should be it! Hope this all makes sense!
Any questions hit reply and I'll try my best.
Regards,
Micahael
