Reddit This - Wordpress Plugin

Filed under:

— Aviran Mordo

Current version: 1.0
Reddit this wordpress plugin is a plugin that detects incoming links from Reddit.com to your wordpress post and automatically display a link back to the reddit post, for people to vote and comment on your story.
When a referral is first recognized an email is sent to the site’s admin

The detection is based on the referrer URL, which has to come from reddit.com.
In case there is more than one reddit posts to your page, only the first one will be displayed.

How to install:
Copy Reddit this plugin to wordpress plugin folder and activate it.

To use this, simply add < ?php if(function_exists('reddit_this')) {reddit_this();} ?> anywhere in your template (in “the loop”) you want to show the link back to Reddit.

The function has 5 optional parameters:
$before - The text you want to output before the link. This can any HTML text, for instance a tag
$link_text - The text that will link back to reddit. The default is “Vote Reddit story”. (This can also be an image tag or any other valid html tags)
$after - The text to output after the link back to reddit. For instance the closing tags from the $before text.
$ping - This is a ping attribute (string) inside the <a href…> tag. The ping will be added at the end of the post URL.
$show_what_is_this - This is a boolean which indicates whether to show a question mark after the reddit this link, which explains why this link is created and link to this plugin page.

Examples:
Examples: < ?php reddit_this(); ?> will create a “Vote Reddit story” link with a question mark which explains why this link is created and link to the plugin page. < ?php reddit_this("<p class='reddit'>“, “Comment On Reddit”, “<p>”); ?> will create a “Comment On Reddit” link like the previous example between <p> tags. < ?php reddit_this("<br/>“, “Vote Reddit story”, “”, “ping”); ?> like before but adds a ping url to the reddit link. Note: if you are using url format such as yoursite.com?post=12 the ping string should be “&ping=SOMETHING” < ?php reddit_this("", "Vote Reddit story", "", "ping", false); ?> like the above but removes the ? link.

You may download this plugin for free, all I ask is that you let me know how it works for you (just write a comment).
Please show your support by leaving the $show_what_is_this as true (you don’t have to but I will really appreciate it).

I modified this module to do the reddit button in the same way you did the digg-this button. Â Â Almost.Â It also short circuits the referrer such that people clicking through from reddit’s new page will trigger the auto-reddit-detection behavior.

Pain in the ass. Â Â I know not PHP well and it shows, I’m sure. But it works for me.

Oh, forgot to mention — take that code and do whatever you want with it.Â Feel free to ping me via email, if necessary.

Hey, I love your digg plugin, but I can’t get this one to work.

It works the same, but like the digg plugin people need to enter your page from the comments page of the link in reddit, otherwise the plugin can’t know the story URL
