To install the digg Integrator plugin simply upload the "diggIntegrator" folder to your plugins directory, navigate to the plugins page of your WordPress dashboard and select "Activate" next to the digg Integrator entry. Once installed you'll see a new page added to your plugins menu, this page includes all the options for creating a pre-dugg icon.
You will also see a new "digg Integrator" form on the right hand portion of your edit/write pages. This form allows you to add a suggested topic for when your post is actually dugg.
There are three main functions which you can add to your WordPress theme to get the plugin running.
- wjt_diggThisPost: This function will display the icon chosen on the digg Integrator options page both before and after the post has been dugg. Choosing "none" will display nothing on the page, choosing either of the JavaScript buttons will display a JavaScript button with a current count on diggs for the post on which it appears.
- wjt_diJavaButton: This function will only display the digg JavaButton. You can change the background color and skin (compact or full) on the options page.
- wj_diCheck: Probably the most helpful of the two, this function will display the icon chosen on the option page BEFORE a post is dugg and the standard JavaButton AFTER.
These must be placed inside the loop on any theme files that display a single post. The index page, the category page, and other pages which display multiple posts may display the wrong buttons or cause issues.
