Hi all I've just installed the 'share this' widget on my blog however I want to change the text on it from just 'share this' to something a bit more expressive! I'm looking through all the code on the php page though and can't see where to change it? I'd be grateful if you can point me in the right direction. Thanks
Hi, I don't use the widget, I use the plugin (which is a simple one-click install by the way). The coding is probably very similar. Have you tried searching through the code using your text editor 'find' option? For me it returned just a few results and it was quite easy to recognize the php echo function where the 'share this' is called. Perhaps you could try that and see if you find it? Let us know if it helps, Sam
It's not in the main plugin code -- can't check at the moment, but I'll have a fish around later and let you know what I find!
Hey, Ok then. Let's look at this. (few minutes later): I just succeeded in changing the 'share this' in the plugin php code. Go to line 428 and look for <?php _e('Share This', 'alexking.org'); ?> Code (markup): at the end of the line. Change Share This to whatever you want and voila, the word will change on the link. If you can't make it work with the widget, try the plugin, it's really easy to install. Cheers, Sam
