Social Counters

Descripcion

It allows to place counters and social sharing links to the most popular social networks like Menéame, Twitter, Facebook, Google Buzz, Tuenti or Bitacoras.com.

It also has WordPress actions (add_action) and filters (add_filter) allowing to select the social sharing links we want to show.

The available functions are:

  • the_social_counters( $counters = array() ): Displays selected social counters.

    • $counters: Array with list of social counters to view, by default bitacoras,tuenti,google-buzz,meneame,twitter,facebook

    • $postparam: $post object to get the counter, by default system use global $post;
    • $linked: Simple option to de-activate link.
