Editing the **** script

[Jboo]

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I'm trying to integrate the **** button on my site using this code:

<script type="text/javascript">
****_url = 'URL';
****_bgcolor = '#efefef';
****_skin = 'compact';
</script>
<script src="http://****.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

However I need to automatically create the URL string somehow. I looked up how to use some javascript like this...

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
  
           <!--
           {
             document.write(location.href);
           }
           // -->
</SCRIPT>

But i'm not sure if this is possible to edit into the **** script and if it's the best way?

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Isn't the URL supposed to be the URL of the current page? In that case, it should be

****_url = window.location.href;

You'll have noticed that the site in question's name is censored here at sitepoint.

Oops, sorry, I pasted the question from another forum and didn't think about the name.

Thanks for the reply, I didn't think it would be that easy. Is there anyway I could also include the url string within a link?

For example href="awebsitehere.com/submit?url=URL&title=The+Article+Title"

I'm not sure if the title in the link is also possible, but I thought I'd leave it in just in case.

Thanks again for any more help.

****_url = 'awebsitehere.com/submit?url=' + window.location.href + '&title=' + document.title;

Just being curious here....why is the name **** censored?

[Raffles]

Apparently **** asked for it after they received too much free advertising. I think they're afraid we would discuss them and portray them in a negative light or something of the sort. I'm not sure though, search the forums and I'm sure you'll find the reason.

****_url = 'awebsitehere.com/submit?url=' + window.location.href + '&title=' + document.title;

Thanks Raffles, I meant in an actual href statement though. The link I need to edit is the following:

<a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://www.yoursite.com/article.php&title=The+Article+Title">

Thanks for your help.

Wait, I thought this was for Dígg? What exactly are you trying to do? Do you want to create a link with that href attribute somewhere on your page? I thought that's what this was doing:

<script src="http://****.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

In any case, I would have thought you'd be able to adapt it yourself:

http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=' + window.location.href + '&title=' + 'document.title

Isn't the link created by the external linked javascript file?

[Jboo]

The **** button works great now (thanks for the help) and wanted to also sort out the stumbleupon link to get that to work, so **** is a script and the stumleupon is just a link that needs editing and doesn't come as a script so that's why I wasn't sure how to adapt it.

[Raffles]

Ah I see. What you need to do is give the link an ID, as follows:

<a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit" id="stumblesubmit">Submit to StumbleUpon</a>

Then you need an external javascript file. Do you have one yet? You have to add this:

function stumblelink() {
  document.getElementById('stumblesubmit').href += '?url=' + window.location.href  + '&title=' + document.title;
}

if (window.addEventListener) window.addEventListener('load', stumblelink, false);
else if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent('onload', stumblelink);

Or adapt that to any JS you already have.

If javascript is unavailable, the user will just be taken to the stumbleupon submit form.

Ah, great, thanks Raffle.

Thanks again for your help (and your patience!), I'm completely useless at coding so that's helped a great deal.
