wp-content/plugins/sem-theme/
Thanks Denis,
What I am trying to do is add the social bookmarking plugin to the end of each post – before permalink.
Social Bookmark Links WordPress Plugin
http://www.twistermc.com
Basically one line of code:
<? social_bookmark(); ?>
I tried to add it in the sem-theme-posts.php but had to reinstall semiologic because it crashed the site.
Any suggestions where I could add it?
One way is to create a tiny little plugin to do it.
Save the following code as show_sb.php, upload to your plugins folder, and enable it. It should do the trick without having to modify the existing plugin, or any WP files.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Show Social Bookmarks Below Posts
Plugin URI: http://www.whatever.com
Description: Whatever
Author: Whoever
Version: 1.0
Author URI: http://www.whatever.com
*/
function call_sb($content) {
if (is_single())
return $content . social_bookmark();
else
return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'call_sb');
?>
Almost what I was looking for.
-It works on a post by post basis but not on the home page where all posts are indexed
-It before the post not after
Thanks for trying.
Well I just wrote that, so I can easily change it.. 🙂
If you meant that you want it to work on the homepage too, change this line:
if (is_single())
To this:
if (is_single() || is_home())
And that plugin _should_ be outputting the social_bookmark code at the bottom of the post.
The problem is that the social_bookmark function is echoing the output, instead of returning it. This makes it hard to position if it is called from a plugin.
This can be easily fixed, but the social bookmark plugin needs a small modification.
If you give me the link to the copy you are using, I can fix it, and add in the ‘show at the bottom of every post’ feature too, so you do not have to use that little plugin to do it.
Thanks for the offer I placed the code here:

I really appreciate it.
No problem. I will fix it up when I get home today, and post back. (about two hours from now hopefully).
Ok. I am through:
http://www.dagondesign.com/files/social-bookmark.txt
Here is what I did:
First I renamed the social_bookmark function to social_bookmark_generate, and set it to return the data instead of just echoing it.
Now to keep things working with your current stuff, I then created a function called social_bookmark which runs the generate function, but then echos the output. Just like the function did originally. This way any ‘standard style’ calls to the function will work like they did before.
Lastly, I set it up so that at the end of each post (on the index or post page), it will call the generate function, and append the output to the end of the post.
So just enable this version and you will have the stuff at the bottom of each post, as well as the ability to use it wherever else you want, with the standard method.
🙂
This worked awesome! Thanks very much for your help.
Very cool 🙂 No problem, glad it worked.
Just a question for later modifications. If I want to add further functions on to the end of posts how can I do it.
Later on I am going to want to add the folowing, to the end of the posts.
————-
if ( is_single() or is_page() ) {
if( function_exists(‘get_the_post_keywords’) and function_exists(‘related_posts_jerome_keywords’) ) {
$relatedposts = related_posts_jerome_keywords();
if ($relatedposts === false) {
// echo ‘No related posts’;
} else {
echo ‘<div class=”related-posts”>
<h3>Related posts:</h3>
</div> <!– [related-posts] –>’;
}
}
}
Can I add this to the social-bookmark.php or is it better to do something seperate?
I would make it into it’s own plugin file. Try this:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Give it a name here
Plugin URI: whatever.com
Description: Whatever
Author: Whoever
Version: 1.0
Author URI: whatever.com
*/
function f_get_related($content) {
$t_output = "";
if (is_single() || is_page()) {
if (function_exists('get_the_post_keywords') && function_exists('related_posts_jerome_keywords')) {
$relatedposts = related_posts_jerome_keywords();
if ($relatedposts === false) {
// $t_output .= 'No related posts';
} else {
$t_output .= '<div class="related-posts"><h3>Related posts:</h3>' . $relatedposts . '</div> <!-- [related-posts] -->';
}
}
return $content . $t_output;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'f_get_related');
?>
Notice that instead of using ‘echo’ it puts everything into a temp string.. then it gets added to the end of the content. That way it always goes where it should. Echo can be tricky to use in plugins, because they do not always execute where the output needs to go 🙂
Be sure of course that you do not have any extra lines or spaces before or after the code when you save it to a file.
Thanks very much.
I did try this plugin but it didn’t work very well. I ended up with a blank screen. I just deleted the plugin and the site came back up.
I just grabbed that code you posted and stuck it in a basic template without really testing it, so who knows 🙂
That’s okay. Thanks very much for your help. I really do appreciate it.
Just one quick question – how did you learn so much about wp plugins? Did you use the tutorials about developing plugins in the wordpress support site or did you just keep playing around with the code?
