I've been trying to register with the Sharethis forums to post this question, but it's not working.
What I'm trying to do is two things:
1) I'm trying to skin the Sharethis Widget itself. I can't find anything on the forums that says you can do this, so I'm starting to think you can't. I have the following code embedding a custom button on my blog:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
//Sharethis Button
//Create your sharelet with desired properties and set button element to false
var object = SHARETHIS.addEntry({
title:'<?php the_title(); ?>'
},
{button:false,offsetLeft: -5,offsetTop: -4});
//Output your customized button
document.write('<div id="share" class="post_menu_share"><a href="javascript:void(0);" title="share" class="button_share">share</a></div>');
//Tie customized button to ShareThis button functionality.
var element = document.getElementById("share");
object.attachButton(element);
</script>
This code works and puts a custom sharethis button on the site. But the issue is, I want to skin the module that opens in and Iframe. I can't figure out a way to do this. I can't override the CSS because the module is loading into an iframe. Even if I choose the popup window feature, it's still being called from an external server where I can't overwrite the CSS.
2) I want to limit the number of share services to 6. I used the Sharethis website tool where I can add/remove the service I want to share each story with. I can't seem to remove the other services from the scrolling arrows at the bottom. Even after I remove all the services and update the code, the services are still there when I view the site with the new code.
Does anyone here have experience with using the Sharethis technology? Any advice would be great. Thanks!
Regards,
Matt
