AstonishMe Digg Plugin Help

Digg.com is a social bookmarking and news site. Users submit stories, then vote on which stories make it to the front page. This plugin makes it easier for you and your readers to submit your blog posts to Digg. Once a post is submitted, there will be a button on your blog showing how many Diggs the story has received.

Once the plugin is installed you can add a Digg.com button to your posts using the Digg renderer checkbox. If you want all posts to have the button, just set the renderer to 'always' in the plugin settings. You can also change the button size and position in the plugin settings.

Settings

Digg button size: There are two different button sizes, as described here. Normal will look like the buttons on Digg.com. Compact is a smaller version.

Digg button placement: Do you want the button floated left at the top of your post, at the bottom or your post or manually placed with a skintag?

Customization

This is optional and for more advanced users. The plugin can place a Digg button at the top or bottom of a post with no need for you to edit your skin. If you want more control, set the placement to Manual and put this skintag in your skin's _main.php file inside the post loop:

<?php $Plugins->call_by_code( 'am_digg', array('id' => $Item->ID ) ); ?>
You can customize it further with these parameters:
