Overview:

Add a reditt button in your post.

Features:

  • Generate perfectly valid XHTML code
  • You can choose between different styles
  • Deactivating the plugin will not break your site!

Requirements:

Installing

  1. Download The reddit button Plugin.
  2. Upload ald-reddit-button.php to wp-content/plugins/ folder.
  3. Activate the Plugin in WP-Admin.
  4. Use the button in the quicktag toolbar to insert the code. You will be prompted to enter a style. Enter a number from 1 to 3. Any number above 3 will insert 1.
  5. If you are using the WYSIWYG, you will have to add the code manually or use the Code tab in WordPress 2.1. You can add <!--reddit_1--> or <!--reddit_2--> or <!--reddit_3--> where you want to display the button. For correct XHTML, make sure that the code is added on a new line.

The Function:

add_reddit($style=1)

Customizing:

Add the following code to the style.css to your theme.

/* Reddit Button */
.redditbutton {
float: right;
margin: 10px;
}

This will cause the displayed reditt button to be floated to the right.

  • 1.0 – Release

    Is it me, or does the download link just point to an anchor on this page?

  2. Ajay / Sep 7 2006

    Hi Hoover,

    Thanks for pointing that out.
    It has been corrected. You can now download the plugin :)

  3. Hoover / Sep 7 2006

    The plugin installed fine on wp 2.0.2, but once I selected reddit_2, there is no button (when I viewed the source, it only said . Do I have to enter a key & value just like the digg plugin?

  8. quadszilla / Sep 11 2006

    same problem as alex. 2.0.2, installed. In page source it shows

    <!–reddit_2–>

    instead of caling the function.

  9. Ajay / Sep 11 2006

    Does <!--reddit_1--> and <!--reddit_3--> work fine?

    If you are using the WYSIWYG editor, then try to see if it looks like this.

    sometext
    some more text

    <!--reddit_2-->

    still more text
    still even more text

    in wordpress 2.02, the button does not show up in the quicktags bar, nor does using

    work either. this may be that the regexp isnt matching. i think newer wordpress adds a linefeed after the reddit tag and the so the function never runs.

  11. Ajay / Oct 6 2006

    I guess there is a problem with 2.0.2 which has been resolved.

    Can you give me a sample post, or the HTML code generated on your site.

    I think I may have a solution for it.

    Is there a way to place this in the loop where it would automatically be added on the bottom (or the top) of each post?

  13. Ajay / Nov 17 2006

    I haven’t had a provision for this yet. I plan to update this plugin.

    Will make a function so that it can be placed in the loop.

    Thanks for the suggestion :)

    I just installed it in WP 2.0.7 & I see the Reddit button in the quicktag bar. But when I click on it nothing happens. No prompt, no nothing.

    Any ideas what might be wrong?
