    Solved Digg Button problem

    Post by niji666 April 21st 2012, 1:03 am

    Hi, i am having problems adding a digg (news) button to my website. I have added Facebook and twitter buttons with no problems but i'm very confused on how to add the Digg button. Here is the info on what i need to be adding http://about.digg.com/downloads/button/smart

    The java script is way beyond me and i have no clue what i am doing.

    I would very much appreciate if someone could put it in simple terms what it is i need to do.

    I want the button to appear at the side of my other buttons if this is possible?

    Thanks in advance and here's my site url http://chatter.betaboard.net/

    Wow that code they want you to put on your site is unreal, I never seen so much fuss over a little button.

    I seen your forum and your buttons and quite frankly you could do away with all of that and make it nice and tidy with this:

    https://www.addthis.com/get/sharing#.T5ITgNmib_o

    The orange button has Digg and about 300 or more other sites to choose from with 1 mouseover.

    Or get a social bar here, this is probably what you want:

    Have people never clicked the 'share' button on topics... It has Digg ad things in there.

    They have on my forum. My forum has image galleries and video sections with hundreds of videos members have posted, members like to use the share buttons and send those pages to different places like facebook and twitter, and regular posted topics too. The skysa bar does all of that and more.

    Thank you! The skysa website i'm going to look into more as this is what i wanted to achieve. Like i said the codes and java things puzzle me a little, you would most likely laugh if you knew how long it took me to get those two little buttons on there.lol Appreciate your time and quick reply Very good

    @ LGforum I feel a little dumb now because i have had my forum well over a year and i have never noticed the 'share' button. This is just what i need thanks but i will be still adding the buttons elsewhere on the site so they are more visible for visitors as dumb as me.

    Thanks guys you have been a big help if i ever see you in the pub i will buy u a pint Laughing
