Chicklet Creator Wordpress Plugin
Now available for download is the Chicklet Creator Wordpress plugin. It’s very similar to the social bookmark links plugin I released a few days ago.
Included in the plugin are the button images and the plugin file.
Install & Configure Instructions [new location]
1) Download the plugin. Version 0.1
2) Open chicklet-creator.php and configure it. Turn on the buttons you want and set up a few optional features.
3) Upload the entire Chicklet-Creator folder into your Wordpress plugins directory.
4) Activate it via the Plugins area in the admin.
5) Put this code where you want the social bookmark links to show up: < ? chicklet_creator() ? > (remove the space before the first ? and after the last ?)
- This code should work anywhere in your blog template.
- If you de-active the plugin, you have to remove this code or you’ll throw errors!
I have built in the option to change the feed URL. For those of you who use Feedburner, you’ll want to make sure to configure that in the plugin file.
As I learn more about Wordpress plugins I’ll make this easier to use. But for now, it works.
Feedback is much appreciated. Even if it’s just to say ‘It Worked!’. Suggestions are welcome too. ![]()

marcel - Just link’s isn’t an option. With the feed plugin it’s buttons. If you are talking about the BlinkList del.icio.us digg links at the end of posts, use the Social Bookmark plugin.

This whole blog thing is soooooo…..new to me. So far I found a beautiful skin/template to use. And, I think I’ve got the chicklet thing to work. Tweeking so much is forcing me to learn and/or read more html than I really care to but I don’t mine I guess. At least I’m learning something new. The template I’m using has the cute little graphics beside each chicklet graphic that I can’t seem to get rid of. I’m sure it’s somewhere in the html code but I can’t figure out what it is. Anyway.. Can someone check my blog to see if my chicklets are working. Boy..that request kinda sounds funny huh? LOL!

I don’t know if anyone else had this problem, but after uploading the Chicklet-Creator folder to the plugins directory, it wouldn’t show up in the plugins pannel in WordPress. I have no clue what the problem is. The Social Bookmark Plugins works perfectly fine for me. Also, I was able to get the Chicklet plugin to appear in the WordPress pannel by uploading the files without being contained in the Chicklet-Creator folder, but the the plugin wouldn’t work propperly, of course. The only main drawback was that none of the images would show up. Any suggestions would be much appriciated.

Interesting Brent. I assume you are in Wordpress 2 and that the folder is named Chicklet-Creator and placed in the plugins directory. Inside the Chicklet-Creator folder is chicklet-creator.php and the RSS-images folder. Correct? Don’t forget everything is case sensitive.
- Thomas November 11th, 2006 at 10:08 am
Mozilla Firefox 2.0 - Mac OS X
Thanks for the reply Thomas.
I have Wordpress2, the folder’s in the correct directory, and the letters’ cases are all the way the should be. The installation problem is really a mystery.
However, I hacked my way around the problem yesterday. After messing around with the code and trying various methods of installing, such as placing the chicklet-creator.php directly into the plugins folder without the container folder, “Chicklet-Creator.” Doing that enabled me to install the plugin. None of the images appeared of course becasue I messed up the directory structure. So, I manally changed chicklet-creator.php so that all the SRCs of the image tags would point to the images in the RSS-images folder. The plugin now works perfectly for me. I just thought you might find my instalation problems interesting. I still don’t have a clue why it wouldn’t install the easy way.
The plugin is really awesome and very easy to use. It was easily worth having to change the file manually.
If you want, I can look into my installation problem some more, if it would be any use to you. Just let me know.

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the plugin. I installed it a few months ago and it’s worked fine up to now, however I’ve just started getting an annoying flashing message appearing in my chicklets saying ‘Important: Get New Buttons’.
Do you know how to get rid of this?
Thanks,

Hi Thomas,
This is a great idea; however, Wordpress is telling me that they don’t allow uploads of plugins. Do I need to upgrade my account, or am I looking in the wrong places?

This seems like a great plugin, however, I’m having a few problems with it:
1) Image files aren’t showing up in either the options->chicklet creator tab of WP or on my site, with the exception of winksite, which only shows in the tab area.
2) Everytime I click on ‘update feed buttons’ I get the message, “Cannot load Chicklet-Creator/chicklet-creator.php”
I’m using WP 2.0.5 btw and have tested this with FF and Safari.
I’d love to get this working if anyone can help!
Thanks

Sorry, couple more notes…
1) Not all checkboxes in the tab area have text fields so it’s impossible to know what they are. I’m assuming this intentional
2) Seems that changes actually *do* update if you hit the ‘update’ button despite the message that it cannot find the file.
3) Weird that it only finds that one random image file… which has me the most baffled.

I do have the following created:

/wp-content/plugins/Chicklet-Creator/RSS-images/

i could have possibly added it to the wrong area, but i added inserted it on the second line in this file. I do see text on the sidebar, but no icons,
Not sure its right, but am i missing something else?

The issue here is that the folder was renamed to chicklet-creator. It needs to be capital C’s as it’s a case sensitive technology.
Rename your file to Chicklet-Creator (capital C’s) and it’ll work.

Hi Thomas.
I’m doing an install for a friend of mine from a fresh install of Wordpress 2.3 and no matter where I place the code, the chicklets do not appear.
You can look here: http://scenestars.net/blog
The function call is placed in the sidebar.php directly above the Meta area. I have also tried placing it in a widget. Nothing works.
Advice?

Please take a look at my site http://www.woofgangs.com if possible. Does it have to be placed in one of the boxes within the sidebar?
