The front page doesnt have an item_id so it wont work with the pre-built code contained in the share this module (jrShareThis) BUT you could go to share this, get the standard share this code and put that on your front page.

http://www.sharethis.com

I know you understand how to add the code. Just throw it in the index.tpl template for the skin and make sure any javascript has a space between the { and the first letter.

If they give you code that looks like this:
....tLight.options({publisher: ......

That {p will cause a white screen when smarty thinks its a smarty variable, so add a space between the '{' and the 'p' and it will work
....tLight.options({ publisher: ......

kinda rather avoid that i like the module cause its built in and not contacting outside servers for widgets and those share widgets nearly double the load times

i wish there was a way that the sharethis could be added to every page and grab the url its on to share

Its the same. the module one just preps the needed code in a simpler way.

Check out the source of any of your pages where the buttons are:
https://your-dred-site.com/soaring-eagle/uploaded_audio/14702/she-feeds-me

You'll see the same ".....stLight.options({ publishe..." in there.

The module one:
{jrShareThis module="?????" item_id="??????"}

Requires an item_id. there isnt one for the front page.

It wont validate because you haven't put that space between the '{' and the 'p'.

do that and it will validate.

Try creating a profile as the website itself so if you created it and upload the website logo. and the

profile id = 123
then try this in a div box on your index page.

{jrShareThis module="jrProfile" item_id="123"}



Moreover, that same profile can be used to catch all contact us and other relevent data for the site.


Hope that helps

Also if you did not want to go that route.

you can easily add share this to your index with a copy and paste function from their website
