FAQ

Q : During the plugin activation, it hits

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 
T_CLASS in yourdomain.com/wp-content/plugins/digg-digg/dd.class.php

A : Digg Digg is required the PHP 5 to support abstract class features. Make sure your hosting provides PHP version at least 5.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONST, 
expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’

A : Digg Digg is required the PHP 5 to support the “const” features. Make sure your hosting provides PHP version at least 5.

Q : It hits file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration?

A : Delicious is used the PHP file_get_contents() to get the total number of bookmark counts. You can try the following options :

1. Use lazy load for Delicious, as it will use different mechanism to get the total number of counts.
2. Assign proper permission, need consult your hosting provider.
3. Disable the Delicious button.

Q : Is there a way to customize the shared icons or images?

A : All the images or icons are generated by the social site themselves, Digg Digg has no control of it. Digg Digg is just doing the integration work, which group all the social site images into a single unit and display it.

Q : The buttons are slow to load, it impact my website performance?

A : Digg Digg is doing the “integration work” only, has no control of the buttons performance. Make sure do not select all the buttons , only select few buttons that are work in your site content. Alternatively, you can enable the lazy load in some buttons to significantly increase your website performance.

Q : How to disable Digg Digg on certain post or page?

A : Put “<!-- Digg Digg Disabled -->” in the pages or posts that you do not want Digg Digg to display.

Q : Why Facebook icon has no shared count available?

A : Read the Facebook statement.

http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Facebook_Share

Note: While the data for the number of times users share a URL is in real time, the data for the count of Likes is delayed by 10 minutes or so while the data for the count of clicks is delayed by 20 minutes.

Q : What is Ajax floating?

A : Make the buttons show at the left side of the post or page, scroll down as the people read the post, Mashable.com scrolling effect cloned.

Q :How to configure the Ajax floating?

A : Please follow the steps :

1. Select the buttons you want to display
   
2. Check the “Enable Ajax Left float feature” option to enable this Ajax left float feature. (Disabled by default)
   
3. Change the buttons position

   Due to the different theme layout design, high chance the pre-defined settings are not suitable. So, you have to configure the initial position and scrolling position or scrolling back to initial position (optional).

   • Initial position

     The buttons first load and locate at this initial position.

     
     

     Try change he default “margin-left:-92px;” or “margin-top:10px” to other values (-90px, -100px, 50px…) to suit your theme layout.

   • Scrolling…

     Scrolling position : The buttons will move down while user scrolling down the page.

     

     Scrolling back to initial position : The buttons will move back to the initial position while user scrolling up to the top of the page.

     

     See this “scrolling values” picture to understand how it work.

     

     Change the “top” value to suit your need.

     P.S Do not put the “px” behind the top value, for example “top:10” is working fine, but “top:10px” will failed.

Q : Ajax floating, scrolling causes the sidebar to jump into the middle (or some unexpected position) of the post?

A : Upgrade to Digg Digg version 4.2, it’s fixed by changing the top value only.

For version < 4.2, consult this
The default “scrolling position” is not suit your theme, you need to change the marginLeft (refer to the scrolling values picture).

if ( scrollY > descripY && !fixedShare ) {
	$postShare.stop().css({
		position: 'fixed',
		left: '50%',
		top: 20,
		marginLeft: -310 // <----- change this value.
	});
}

Q : Ajax floating, buttons are disappear when scrolling back to the initial position?

A : Upgrade to Digg Digg version 4.2, it’s fixed by changing the top value only.

For version < 4.2, consult this
The default “scrolling back to initial position” is not suit your theme, you may need to change few values here. (refer to the scrolling values picture).

} else if ( scrollY < descripY && fixedShare ) {
	$postShare.css({
		position: 'relative', // <-----may change this
		left: 0,  // <-----may change this
	        top: 0,  // <-----may change this
		marginLeft: pullX
	});
}

There are many possibilities here (too many different theme layout design), one of the solution is change to the following pattern :

} else if ( scrollY < descripY && fixedShare ) {
	$postShare.css({
		position: 'absolute',
		marginLeft: pullX
	});
}

Q : I follow your steps, but the Ajax left float is still not working?

A : Please drop me an email with the not working URL and steps to simulate it.

Q : What is Lazy loading?

A : Make buttons delay 5 seconds to load, so that the page will load more faster.
