Hi Andreas,
first of all, the plugin works fine in multisite environments and supports all general multisite features e.g. network activate and so on. Plugin options are in general considered to be set differently on each blog according to the individual needs of the blog owner. Replicating all options in the network_admin_menu would be a lot of work and it still would need additional options to either override local settings in general or just having it as a default, if no individual setting is set. So in the end we would need to create each option twice – normally and as a global setting.
To be honest, at the moment I’m not certain, if we will ever be implementing additional global settings for the plugin, since the use cases for it are quite special and it would take up a lot of time to develop. Of course we always welcome pull requests on Github, if someone takes the time to develop something like this.
I’ll keep it in mind though, maybe I can think of a way to change the default settings of the plugin, without all the hassle of the global options.
Cheers,
JP

Hi JP,
I can see your point and just decided to take shortcut by inserting the shortcode via functions.php. Regarding the shortcode, there is a minor mistake on the plugin’s help page: The example for the services selector says [shariff theme=”facebook|twitter|mailform”], but only [services=”facebook|twitter|mailform] can avoid a confusion with [shariff theme=”round”].
Should you ever decide to publish a “premium” version, I’d be ready to pay for the plugin.
Greetings,
Andreas
Hi Andreas,
that shortcut is a good idea!
Funny that no one noticed this obvious mistake on the help tab. Of course it has to be services and not theme. That wouldn’t make much sense. Thanks for noticing and reporting! Will be fixed with the next release.
We like the idea of Shariff and just want people to be able to include share buttons that respect the privacy of their visitors. So this is just a project in our spare time and therefore we won’t publish a premium version – donations are welcome though.

Yeah, well, trouble with donations is they let the financial department go ballistic. As I’m using a lot of plugins on company sites, I simply don’t have the possibility to donate. But I can spend a lot of money on scripts to buy.
I can only imagine. Our financial departments always hates it, if I buy stuff like this and they never get a real invoice. 😉
Anyways, no problem. Like I said, we are not here for the money.
