I'm wanting to give users the ability to share content on the site but tweets, facebook etc. I want to add AddThis.com to the site and was wondering if it integrated well with Umbraco or if people had experiences with it both good and bad?
What do you mean when you say "integrated"? Is it like giving the editors the option to decide wether or not addthis should be shown at certain pages or should be able to do some basic configuration from within Umbraco?
It's no problem to insert the addthis javascript to have the addthis options shown - it's just a matter of including the javascript in the templates - If you're in doubt about how to do this part then please let us know and I'm confident that we can help you out :)
I'd like help with this, please. How do I add the JavaScript to the template? Which JavaScript? I went to AddThis.com and assembled some code... it all looked like HTML to me, so I inserted that into the content area using HTML, and the system stripped out my code.
Are you a developer of the solution who have access to the "Developer" and "Settings" sections of Umbraco?
If not you probably need to get in touch with those who develop and maintain your site.
From what you're writing above I guess that your content area is based on a rich text editor where you can insert "bold", "italic", "lists" etc....right? If so then yes HTML code will be stripped to ensure that editors can't insert bad markup. However if you insert it into a multiple text box then it should work just fine.
But it's hard to tell since I have no clue about how your solution has been constructed.
Anyone using Addthis.com in their Umbraco sites?
