Manually Add the TweetMeme Submit Button to Wordpress

I enjoy using TweetMeme on my blogs, it is highly recognizable but the plug-in itself allows little control over placement on where you want the submit button. You can choose top, bottom, left and right, or update the location on specific posts, but I wanted to be able to set it inside a table and make it sit next to my other social submit buttons.
I found this information over on the TweetMeme forums and thought it would be nice to share it with my blog readers.allows me to deactivate the TweetMeme plugin and use this simple code instead to place the TweetMeme plug-in exactly where I want on my wordpress posts.
First, open your functions.php file and paste this code directly above the closing ?> tag at the end of the file:
function tweetmeme(){
?>
<div style=”float: right; margin: 5px 0 15px 15px;”>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
tweetmeme_url = ‘<?php the_permalink(); ?>’;
</script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js”></script>
</div>
<?php
}
Next, paste this simple tag into your single.php or page.php template file, at the place you wish the button to appear:
<?php tweetmeme(); ?>

Cool, Justin! Thanks for sharing the information. I use Thesis now and it apparently doesn’t have a single.php, which has become the bane of my existence. I would like to do a nice table like that someday, too. Eventually!

Great tutorial I never even thought to write a post explaining how to do this for people, I insert mine manually as well. Offers much more control.

I just wish there is a plug-in that displays all the widgets. I know there are heaps of them already, but none displays them with the counts, etc

I know, I dislike having to do all of these manually, I wish a nice little box, I like the little social feed box on huffingtonpost.com wish I could design something similar.

Sweet! As I just mentioned on John’s meme button post, this is a keeper. I haven’t used the plugin yet and now I can install it manually! Maybe…lol
