The options are very easy and straightforward, you can:
Show social share buttons over selected articles in one or more categories or sections just selecting "position - top" in the plugin options.
Show social share buttons under selected articles in one or more categories or sections just selecting "position - bottom" in the plugin options.
Show social share buttons over and under selected articles in one or more categories or sections just selecting "position - both" in the plugin options.
Show social share buttons everywhere you like in your joomla site selecting "custom - yes" in the plugin options and using this code in articles:
{socialsharebuttons}
In the plugin options you can also select:
Show in articles: and the plugin will be shown in article view
Show in categories: and the plugin will be shown in category view
Show in setions: and the plugin will be shown in section view
Show in frontpage: and the plugin will be shown in frontpage view
For more accurate customization you can also exclude sections, categories and articles:
exclude sections: just write in this option the sections id to be excluded (comma separated) to exclude sections
exclude categories: just write in this option the categories id to be excluded (comma separated) to exclude categories
exclude articles: just write in this option the articles id to be excluded (comma separated) to exclude articles
You can even select several articles to be shown even if their sections or categories are excluded:
Display in that articles: just write in this option the articles to be shown by writing down the articles id (comma separated)
You can select the social share buttons that you want to display, and every social share button has several options and you can customize it very precisely (show, hide, type, language, alignment, color, and many more).
We have developed this plugin for our client's needs, and we hope you'll find it useful.
For maximum customization you can use it in combination with e-max social share buttons module.
Enjoy!
I've just tested around 10 social extensions and this is by far the best of all.
Great parametrization.

I noticed it doesn't support flexi-content articles. However, looks great on the joomla articles.
I have looked at nearly a dozen plugins for this purpose, and this one is easy to install and very flexible. My only real complaint is that the articles shared on Facebook contain some gobbeldygook, such as "userratingexcellentgood" and a capital "A" between each line.
It's a nice plugin with some customization features - not bad for a version 1.
However, some of the icons don't show in the frontend, when I use my Artisteer created template. Everything works fine with the default templates. Since many Joomla sites use Artisteer templates, this is something that should be fixed.
