Place the following code in custom_functions.php
(remember to replace diythemes
with your own Twitter username!!):
function twitter_button() { if (is_single()) { ?> <div class="tweetbutton"> <a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="vertical" data-via="diythemes">Tweet</a> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> </div> <?php } } add_action('thesis_hook_before_headline', 'twitter_button');
Place the following code in custom.css
, adjusting as necessary to accommodate your site’s design:
.custom div.tweetbutton { float:right; padding-left: 5px; }
On Pages Where Multiple Posts are Listed ∞
If you’re trying to add the Tweet Button to a page where multiple posts are listed, the Share Button link must include a reference to the necessary permalink for the respective post; so you’d use this version of the PHP code above instead:
function twitter_button() { ?> <div class="tweetbutton"> <a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="vertical" data-text="<?php the_title(); ?>" data-url="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" data-via="diythemes">Tweet</a> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> </div> <?php } add_action('thesis_hook_before_headline', 'twitter_button');
