How do I add "digg this!" type links to each article?

How do I add “digg this!” type links to each article?

I found these snippets to do it:

<a href=“http://del.icio.us/post?url=<txp:permlink />&amp;title=<txp:title />”>del.icio.us</a>

<a href=“http://www.digg.com/submit?phase=2&amp;url=<txp:permlink />”>digg</a>

<a href=“http://ma.gnolia.com/bookmarklet/add?url=<txp:permlink />&amp;title=<txp:title />”>ma.gnolia</a>

Can I place these snippets in a global place so they automatically get published instead of me manually inserting them into articles?

Finally, if there is a plugin or some better way to do this I am all ears.

You could add those to your article form so that each time an article is posted, those links will automatically show. Add them to your article form like underneath the body and they will show each time you create an article.

There may be an easier way or a plugin to do this out there though……

Your suggestion worked like a charm. Much thanks!

There is also the ako_social plugin, which allows posting to pretty much every bookmarking service under the sun.

Thanks Elenita – this plugin is much more extendable and configurable than the hack I was using/testing.

bookmarkz.net is also pretty good. configure the sites you want to link to and then just include the resulting line of js. it does have a credit link back to bookmarkz, which is removable but im not sure if the author would accept this. emailed him numerous time without reply


I need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me

My new mta_digg_it plug-in implements Digg’s new “smart” “Digg This” buttons that allow the same button to submit the story on the first click and digg the story on all following clicks. It also allows you to fill out most of the fields for the person submitting the story the first time.

you can also use the feedflare service from feedburner. they have a snippet for texpattern inserts, but i dont think this system is as flexible as dedicated plugins that i’m finding out about here. it was quick to set up though.
