1. Download ShareThis, and be sure to rename the downloaded file to ShareThis.php.
2. Drop this script in $IP/extensions

   Note: $IP is your MediaWiki install dir.

3. Download sharethis-icons.zip or extended version Download
4. Extract the archive contents into $IP/skins/common/images (it will create a directory called 'sharethis')
5. Enable the extension by adding this line to your LocalSettings.php:

   require_once('extensions/ShareThis.php');
   

Configuration (optional)

If you'd like the "Share This" sidebar to be displayed, simply add the following to your LocalSettings.php:

$wgShowShareThisSidebar = true;

Note: This works by hooking into 'MonoBookTemplateToolboxEnd'. If you're using a skin which doesn't call this hook, then the above will not work.

For more configuration options, see the Project Homepage.
