The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™


ShareMe PluginLanguage

★ ShareMe will allow your sites visitors to easily share your sites content with their followers and the rest of the users of Facebook , Google Buzz and Twitter more importantly the buttons also have a live share counter that is updated at regular intervals.

PRO Versions also available with more services being added.

Google Buzz button now Locale specific ! This plugin includes Twitter ,Google Buzz and Facebook Share buttons, we received many requests from the users of TweetMe to integrate FaceBook Share and Google Buzz, and here it is.


The FB Share also has the added advantage of displaying on hover the total number of clicks for those shares from Facebook and the WWW back to your page.

NOTE:

1.The current FBShare API requires that the Core Joomla SEF be enabled for correct functioning of the Service. I am currently investigating alternatives in case there are members that do not use even Joomla SEF/SEO on their sites for some reason.

2. The placement of the buttons is by default to the upper right side of your articles text, but can be easily changed by adjusting the CSS to your liking from the Plugins parameter settings in the Joomla backend. See the screenshots for more. If you need help with adjusting the CSS to your own liking, post a request on our support forums.

If it's not stated here, its not supported. Please take the time to visit the Support Forum and FAQ's.

1. It is possible to automatically add hashtags to the end of the Tweet that the Retweet Button generates, this gives your story the potential to be picked up by people searching for that particular hashtag. You can add any number of Hashtags (comma separated) and the button will do its best to fit them in.
A few other notes to take into consideration

* Hashtags can only take Alpha-numeric characters and _ or – all other characters will be automatically stripped
* You do not need to supply # – this will be added automatically
* The title of the story will be shortened if you supply too many Hashtags
* The Tweet will always stay within the 140 character limit (unless overridden)

TweetMeme now lets you specify a URL shortening service which you would prefer to use.This is a list of the URL Shorteners that we are currently supporting:

* bit.ly
* awe.sm (API support)
* cli.gs
* digg.com (API support)
* is.gd
* TinyURL.com
* tr.im
* su.pr (API support
* ow.ly
* twurl.nl

Hi,

I really really like this plugin, i have one problem ( it's not showing the correct number)

Nico
Owner's reply

I am glad you really like the plugin.

The plugin does not do any counting, the counting is handled by the API's of the sharing service in question. You can find this information through our Support and possible solutions too to your issue.

Unfortunately, the JED is not a Support Channel so you will have to make a post on our Forum , Check the FAQ or open a Free Ticket. Just use the Support Link shown on the Listing in the JED .

I installed the free ShareMe Compact plugin and had some problems getting the article title to publish in the Tweet.

I posted my problem in the support forum and got an immediate response. The developer spent over an hour helping me trouble shoot and solve this issues...and I hadn't paid one penny!

I am a very happy customer and now an owner of the paid plugin (which is totally worth it.) This plugin does exactly what I want and is easily customizable for your website. If you do have issues, you can expect a prompt, helpful response from support.

I highly recommend it!

I just installed it and works like a charm! Well done mates, keep on it!

The only thing is the Spanish translation, it says "twittear" instead of "tweetear" and the Share button doesn't change to "Compartir" but everything else is ok.

Greets!
Owner's reply

Thanks for the Review. The language/spelling of the Twitter buttons are specified by the Twitter API and the Facebook API . I will report this to them though.

Very nice extension, simple yet effective!

The only suggestion I have is to insert an optional headline (title). Something like "Share this..." which would be placed optionally before the icons or after the icons...
Owner's reply

Thanks for the Review and the feature request.

This is simple yet a very powerful application.

Installed like a charm and was in action in no time...

Wish List:

- An option to layout in Horizontal format.
- A table that displays overall count / number of tweets, buzz's and facebook like's from the entire site (may be a module that could capture the counts)

Best Regards

Owner's reply

Thanks for taking the time to Review.

1. You can ask on the Support Forum for help with using the plugins custom.css setting to achieve a horizontal layout of the buttons.

2. This type of feature would only be possible if you have some tracking for the URL shortner you use ( API Key ) . not al sharing services support this though.

It looks great but I try to use the share button and everything was working fine until the pop up for sending the article to facebook changed my URL with http://fbshare.me/AUhbl.
Owner's reply

I don't know how this got passed the JED Editors as a Review , but anyway. the various Social Sharing service API's use URL shortners. Please Google it, there is nothing strange about this. You can always ask on the Support Forums if you are unsure of something.

Great plugin! I tried many other twitter/facebook plugins before finding this and it was by far the easiest to setup and use. Only thing is I do wish you could turn on/off features. Ended up editing so that Google Buzz didn't show up.

Thanks for taking the time to review. Your point is noted for implementation.

Great plugin I really like the look but it is currently not working. It is not showing the correct number of shares for each article, and when the links are clicked it shares the whole site versus one article.

The work the developers put in is greatly appreciated, however the count is not correct. A previous user also brought this up and I have seen it on support forums.

It is not working on their site either as all the articles have the same amount of share... http://www.herdboy.com/club-buy-services/team-blog/web-development

I have disabled for now but would love to see this plugin working, again thank you developer for all the hard work put into this.

Once this plugin is working I will change my rating.
Owner's reply

Thanks for the review. You have got to ask yourself the question, "It's working for thousands of others, why not me ? . Can it be the plugin ? Did I get a version different from the other users ? The Answer is No.

Next step is to open a Free Support Ticket with a link to your site and receive free support to see what your unique and particular issue is. Everyone is using the same plugin. The page you linked to in your post is a com_zoo generated page and the plugin is not supported there, only on com_content. Hope to hear from this user soon.

I'll add my voice to making fb optional. On days when the fb servers are slow which seems to be most days my site pages take ages to load or rather my late loading js does. FB is marginal to me and would love to excise it. Any ETA on making it optional? I will be hacking the plugging to remove fb shortly.

Would be a 5+ if fb was optional :-)
Owner's reply

Thanks for the Review. I will be replacing the Facebook script with a more robust one in the next release and will also make it optional perhaps.

Very good plugin. But as almost every other reviewer wrote, this plugin uses fbshare.me as facebook sharer. fbshare's servers are very very slow. So do not use facebook share option till author will begin to use facebook's own sharer API. Otherwise it will kill your site's speed.
Owner's reply

Thanks for the review. I will be dropping FBShare's script in the next release.

Just the best plugin for Joomla! in social bookmarks!!!
Works easy, and looks great.

I know that SHARE button for Facebook slows down really bad Joomla! websites and is out of your control, I think one solution is using the LIKE button in a compact form and give us the option to choose what button we want...

Just a thought, because right now Im only using Tweeter because that slowdown...

Anyways,, congrats and keep the good work! And of course thanks for the effort

"it makes my site run slow, when is loading images for facebook and tweets in every article, sometimes cannot load the image and the site run very slow..."
I have the same issue. Something to do about it?
A good plugin anyway, thank you!
Owner's reply

This slow load that you report is caused by server load on the FBShare service and beyond our control, in other words there is nothing that can be optimised in the plugin side to fix this slow load that you experience.

I will drop the FB Share option from the plugin in the next release.

The links at twitter send user to a page that is different from the original one. It sents do the section, not the article. I disabled...

I suspect you posted this review on the wrong extension. There is no record of such an issue reported to us from 7000+ deployments.

I have been using the Joomla extensions directory ever since I started with Joomla two years ago and never registered in the extensions directory until now for this review, because I feel I really had to. This is perhaps one of the top extensions, at least for me, and has helped spread the word of my site by others just tweeting or sharing. I'm glad that Google Buzz has been added, perhaps Digg can be added soon as well?

Either way, great work!
Owner's reply

Thanks for the Review, I appreciate you taking the time to do this. Please Open a ticket on our site and I will forward you a custom version of the Plugin.

I've run into a lot of problems with some of the other republish / social submission extensions in the market. Some of them failed to work with Internet Explorer, some caused problems with my template. This one does neither. It's clean and easy-to-use and so far there haven't been any problems. Great plug-in. Simple and effective, just how I like it.

This does exactly what it says it does. Creates great looking integration for users to tweet, FB and Buzz. I wish it had Digg integration as well though, that's the only downside but other than that it's awesome.
Owner's reply

Thanks for the great Review. I plan to add Digg, never had a reqest for it before, though. I fyou make a request on our Support FOrums, I will be able to easily keep you up to speed : )
