Usage

Add share this configs.

 # file: config/config.yml
 sharethis: SHARETHIS_PARTENT_ID

 sharethis_buttons: # optional
 - :twitter
 - :linkedin
 - :reddit
 - :digg
 - :facebook_like
 # the aboce are the defaults

IMPORTANT: Notice the above sharethis_buttons are all Symbols -- meaning, they start with a colon (:) -- which is required.

See lib/nesta-plugin-sharethis/sharethis.yml for a full list.

If you would like to add more see the Overrides section below.

Add the 'sharethis_javascript' helper to your your layout.haml:

 -#- file: views/layout.haml
 <!DOCTYPE html>
  %html(lang="en")
   %head
     %meta(charset="utf-8")
     - if @description
       %meta(name="description" content=@description)
     - if @keywords
       %meta(name="keywords" content=@keywords)
     = sharethis_javascript
     %title= @title

 -#- ... rest of layout.haml ...

Add the 'sharethis_buttons' helper to your layout, where you want your buttons to appear.

 -#- file: views/layout.haml

 -#- ... rest of layout.haml ...
 = sharethis_buttons
 -#- ... rest of layout.haml ...

If you're using a theme like postal3, which already has share functionality, simply replace it's buttons with the helper above.

Overrides

To override defaults (see lib/nesta-plugin-sharethis/sharethis.yml) create a sharethis.yml file in your config directory and this plugin will merge it in to my defaults. Be sure to use the same format as my sharethis.yml.
