Add addthis

[konstantinos2424]

Hello, I want to add addthis to my forum but I don't know in which file I should add the code! (I want the bar to be displayed on every page in my forum, the tool I want to use is called sharing sidebar). Any help please?

It seems the only current MOD that supports AddThis is
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2594

Which is not quite what you want to have...

I really couldn't encourage AddThis. Stuff like Google Analytics is bad enough for tracking purposes, but AddThis is truly nasty.

So there is no way to have addthis like nvidia for example? and not only in posts?

[konstantinos2424]

Well a lot webmasters uses Addthis so I don't thing that a small website like mine will hurt the privacy of users when there are many ways to track their actions. Also I want Addthis only for its sharing options rather than statistics purposes 

[Arantor]

The statistics purposes are not for your benefit. It's for THEIR benefit, compromising user privacy.

Well anyway i managed to fix it without the mod and when I'll find time I will check the article about privacy and addthis! Thank you for the info!

Personally I'd have thought checking the article before implementing it - so you can make an informed decision before doing any work - would have been smarter, since you may now decide to remove it, but it's your call.

Well, my forum is under construction, so it is not important for now i think, i would reconsider about it before i release it!
