The ShareThis Extension is a MediaWiki extension which provides links to popular social bookmarking and news sources.

Please see the official project homepage for up-to-date installation notes, usage tips and advanced features.

[edit] Installation

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

Note: $IP is your MediaWiki install dir.
Download sharethis-icons.zip
Extract the archive contents into $IP/skins/common/images (it will create a directory called 'sharethis')
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.

Once installed, you can add links to the social bookmarking or news sites to any page.

To do so, simply add the following to the the article where the links are to appear:

<sharethis />
