DiggClick extended

Posted in Digg Click by admin on the February 26th, 2007

Since this year I had the DiggClick plugin runing on my blog, but i was not really satisfied with the look of those big digg buttons. So I looked around and found another digg look on the digg-tools website and decided to incorporate that look into the DiggClick plugin.

So, now DiggClick has new features:

  • Choose between normal and compact look
  • Choose to set a background color
  • Choose between more location options (above left,above right,under left, under right)

    • Install:

  • Just download the plugin ZIP file here.
  • Unzip
  • Upload diggclick directory into your plugins directory located usually at /wp-content/plugins
  • Go to your Wordpress Administration and go to Plugins.
  • Activate the Plugin
  • Go to options and set the options you like

    • Note:
    I tricked around alot with the plugin and my safari and firefox cached the content often.
    So if you don’t see any changes after changing the settings close the browser window, clear cache and javascript cache and try again.

    Copyright/License:
    The original plugin was written by Michael Moreno from opensolaris.biz, but unfortunatly he/his website is unreachable at the moment. So I don’t know what he thinks about the changes and all the credit for this nice plugin shell go to him. I’m just an editor making some minor changes. So, if you know him, please tell him that I updated his plugin and maybe he shell have a look at the source. I will also intend to remove the post and files if required by the original author.

    But until then, please use and have fun…

      Hi Sebastien!

      The iframe containing the digg-code is wrapped in an tag of class “diggclick”. So assigning borders, paddings, margins etc could be done over div.diggclick or something alike if you wish to use CSS.

      Hope that helps!
