Forget complex source code embedded on every Joomla! page and make content sharing easy with our powerful extension suite. Use the content plugin to embed the ShareThis widget in your articles or position it anywhere with the ShareThis for Joomla! module. You can also manage your ShareThis solution centrally with ShareThis for Joomla!'s Shared Article Manager.
ShareThis for Joomla!'s content plugin now includes a simple API, so if you're a programmer you can integrate ShareThis.com's widget into Joomla! programmatically.
Really good Plugin but if I enable it anyone using Internet Explorer 6 does not see my Website!
I wouldn't mind if the Module just didn't work with IE6 but it breaks the entire site.
In other words I have to either find out how to fix this or else get another Plugin which is a shame as this one certainly looks the part but sadly my client will not allow a site that can't at least be viewed on IE6

I love it from fisrt seconds when i download it and install without any problems. Configuration didn't take too much time and it was easy for me!
I was read message according IE6 in previous feedback before i buy it and to be honest , yes with IE6 it's not working smooth, but let's think what is it IE6 ? It's OLD and outdated browser, why we always asking from delelopers to support IE6 if microsoft already release few another versions of the new IE's... So i guess it's not so big deal!
Really love this plugin, it's fit to my need just perfect! Thank you guys!

This is the bookmark plug-in you are all looking for. TRUST ME!!!!
After trying about 15 different ones, I finally came across "Share This"..
Just install both plug-ins, enable them, read the easy to understand instructions, and walla! Your done..
Looks great on the site as well.. :)
Thanks a lot.. PERFECT!

I've been thinking of adding this to my site for months and finally found a module that works well.
Up and working in 5 minutes including download and install time.

This implementation of the ShareThis component works fine for joomla! It does what it should do.
It is well integrated in the Joomla CMS and it is customizable.
It works fine in Firefox 3.5.7 and IE 8.0
The only thing I have to regret is that the iframe is too big for my taste. But I guess this is imposed by the ShareThis.com object.

This is a very nice extension, except for the fact that I discovered it (or it's combination with some other components on my site) will cause Internet Explorer 6.0 to return an error and not load the page.
I tested another site that used this component with IE6, and it seemed to work. However, once I disabled this component on my site, my problems went away.
I only post this as a caution to others to test their site with IE6 if they use this component.

I followed the steps of installing both plug inns into my joomla site. After spending about an hour as I couldn't get the icon to show in my articles I simply went to their site and register to obtain the code which I just placed inside my template HTML. After that, everything works just fine. I wish though I can control which pages the sharethis icon would appear and hopefully developers will help clairify all the existing bugs. Anyways, congrats to a job well done.
I reckon this is the best Social Bookmarking extension as it is minimal on the page but has a lot of options.
I had to get help from the ShareThis developers though in order to get the email function to work. It turned out the markup in my clients content was causing script conflicts.
You can disable the content in admin though then it works fine and just sends a link plus the page title.
Maybe in future versions this will be fixed.
Also at the time of writing the default icon url is wrong, get the correct one from ShareThis and change it in admin.
Apart from that - all good! :)

I was 'this' close to giving this 5 stars. It had what I exactly wanted. A simple interface where I could publish a sharethis icon next to the standard joomla print/email/pdf ones.
Well when I installed this plugin, everything seemed exactly perfect... Until I tested it in other browsers.
When published in the icon area, the sharethis icon did not show up in IE7, Chrome, Safari, and in Opera the button was out of position.
Almost had it. Maybe a fix is in the future, but until then an average rating for a fine product in concept, but not in delivery.

In my first impression, i was very pleased. But after i check my pages with w3validator, it shows various errors. And after unpublished, all errors gone. Therefore, i deactivate this plugin in my site [with Joomla 1.5.9]. Who does not care about the validation of W3, its an excellent Plugin to them. I have to rate it as good.
N.B. To the developers: Please solve the W3 validation issues, then I and some other people like me may use it again.

awesome. sweet. installed easily. except the content install failed first time (broke connection - had to reenter my cms admin site). Reintalled and dont forget to enable via 'plugin manager'.
voila button was there beside 'read more' button. and a nice little 'share' button at bottom of my article.
I suppose it would be wise to test end to end and ensure the connection to each of the share sites works.
good work.

I love this plugin. It integrates nicely. I'm glad to have finally found a bookmarking plugin that works properly with Joomla!
There is only 1 major problem. I cannot access my site using Internet Explorer 6 if this plugin is active. Anyone using IE6 to access my site gets that weird pop-up error window that says "Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site. Operation aborted."
By the way, I get the same error if I try to get to http://www.wijiti.com usign IE6.

Of course, this plugin is very useful in giving people the functionality of Sharethis on their websites... but its not the most agile implementation - unlike existing sharethis extensions for Wordpress and Drupal, you can't selectively include the Sharethis icon in article footers/headers/etc per category or via Joomla's menu item management; so the only inclusion options for it with this plugin seem to be in content using a {sharethis} tag or automatically in a certain position, *for every post on your site*!
It would be perfect for me if this could be a module as well to allow for greater options for positioning. I'd love to add the ShareThis icon beside the print, email, and pdf icons, or in another module position.
Before and after the content just doesn't look right on my site.
