The code for the floating share bar was a proof of concept for modifying socialize using built in filters.

Here is the floating share code. It can be copied into its own plugin and modified as needed.

class socialize_inline_class {

    function init() {
        $socialize_settings = socializeWP::get_options();
        // check to see if turned on,
        // check to see if single page, post or custom post type
        if(is_singular() && !is_feed()){
            if($socialize_settings['socialize_button_display'] == 'out'){
                add_filter('socialize-inline_class', array(__CLASS__, 'replace_class'));
                add_filter('socialize-after-inline_content', array(__CLASS__, 'email_button'));
                add_filter('socialize-after-inline_content', array(__CLASS__, 'print_button'));
                add_filter('wp_enqueue_scripts', array(__CLASS__, 'scripts'));
                add_action('wp_head', array(__CLASS__, 'style'));
            }
        }
    }

    function scripts() {
        wp_enqueue_script('socialize-floating', SOCIALIZE_URL . 'frontend/js/floating.js', array('jquery'));
    }

    function style(){
        $socialize_settings = socializeWP::get_options();
        echo '<style type="text/css" media="screen">';
        echo '.socialize-floating { margin-left: '.$socialize_settings['socialize_out_margin'].'px; }';
        echo '</style>';
    }

    function replace_class($classes) {
        $classes = array('socialize-floating', 'socialize-floating-bg');
        return $classes;
    }

    function email_button($content) {
        $content .= '<div class="socialize-in-button socialize-in-button-vertical">';
        $content .= '<a href="mailto:?subject=' . urlencode(get_the_title()) . '&body=' . urlencode(get_permalink()) . '" class="socialize-email-button">Email</a>';
        $content .= '</div>';
        return $content;
    }

    function print_button($content) {
        $content .= '<div class="socialize-in-button socialize-in-button-vertical">';
        $content .= '<a href="javascript:window.print()" class="socialize-print-button">Print</a>';
        $content .= '</div>';
        return $content;
    }

}
add_filter('wp', array('socialize_inline_class', 'init'));

I’ve updated the button to use the latest code.

Please give this another try. I’ve updated the code so the buttons should work.

Unfortunately this can get overwritten by the theme. If you can share a test page I may be able to help diagnose the issue specifically for your site.

I’ve added a jQuery('.socialize-floating').length > 0 check to prevent this error from happening.

You may have had some caching issues. The plugin uses a WordPress filter to display the buttons. Hopefully this problem has resolved itself by now.

This is currently possible using the plugin’s built in filters. I’m working on some tutorials I’ll have up on my blog soon.
