One thing I'd like to do to it and Im NOT a programmer in java nor php but am handy around the machine and can follow simple instructions with code. So can you tell me what mods would be necessary to open the various social pages (twitter, facebook etc) from your icon in a new tab or page rather than leaving the blog entirely?
Awesome idea! Heres how its done:
The HTML for each link looks like this:
<'a style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Verdana,Arial,Sans-Serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: none; display: inline;" href="http://twitter.com/ignitesma" title="Twitter">Twitter< /a>
In order to make this link open in a new window or tab we can add the attribute: target="_blank" Therefore our new links looks like:
<'a target="_blank" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Verdana,Arial,Sans-Serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: none; display: inline;" href="http://twitter.com/ignitesma" title="Twitter">Twitter< /a>
The easiest way to add this attributue is to look through the code for any tag that starts with <a and then add target="_blank" right after the "a" so that the tag then begins with <a target="_blank"
NOTE: The two example links above have ' included after the < as to make them nonoperational.
It seems that only the box seems to work. When I choose on of the button versions, nothing appears. What could be the problem?
On top, it would be nice that all links would appear in a new window/tab when clicked in order not to leave the blog itself.
I don't see identi.ca in the list.

I am not exactly sure what your problem might be. Can you send a link to the problem at hand? I visited the your site: http://www.grumpyoldman.be but didn't see it there.
Joe
I've activated the plugin again. Now you can see the js appear in the source, but nothing on the screen
Eddy
Have you visited the widget control panel and moved the widget into an active side bar in your theme? This is a required step in the installation.
Joe
I have taken a second look at your code. From what i can see you have allot of different javascript plugins that don't appear to be working as well. Try using the follow me plugin with out any other plugins installed, especially ones that use javascript.
Can we see a link to where you have the plugin installed? Make sure that you are installing the plugin so that the file directory looks like this: /wp-content/plugins/FollowMe/ your image folder should be located here: /wp-content/plugins/FollowMe/images/ Check your source code to see if you have everything in order. If this does not help it then sounds like you might have a problem with something deeper than the plugin itself.
Post a link so we can get a better idea of the issue at hand.

These files, among others, are being marked as "Forbidden". I can't find a .htaccess reason why this would be true.

Great plugin! :) Love it!
Just wondering whether its possible to put a "subject" in the widget "follow me".. there is no options in the widget to do that.. (ie: on my test site http://www.buy-baby-gear.com/ - see how under "Search" tag.. I have my "follow me" but it would look so much better with that theme if it had the heading/subject field.
Also, I would love to have the "button" at the bottom of each post, but the "box" on the widget.. but I'm suspecting that the code looks back at whatever you default selected in the settings and won't allow you to that.. is there a way I can get around that.. like putting a code in the template to choose button?
Kind Regards,
Penny
Unfortunately, you are right, when the plugin is set to "No Button" it won't show a button anywhere. Maybe that would be a cool feature for version 2?
And, i agree, having a custom heading in your theme would look great. I am not sure what your level of HTML is, but it looks like if you try to edit your side bar to include the following:
<li><h2>Search</h2><ul><li>
<?php FollowMeSocialMedia() ?>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
You should have a custom heading for your theme. However, make sure that you take the widget out of your side bar with the widget control panel otherwise you will have it appearing twice!
<li><h2>Follow Me:</h2><ul><li>
<?php FollowMeSocialMedia() ?>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
The last code i sent had the wrong heading!
These files, among others, are being marked as "Forbidden". I can't find a .htaccess reason why this would be true.

All of your files are coming through on my end....try clearing your browsers cache and then refreshing your pages. Also, you might have a plugin that is interfereing with the .htaccess file. Try disabling any plugins that you might have installed and try the follow me plugin alone.
Joe
I just visited your site and I am seeing the links to the profile pages.
Can you be a bit more descriptive with your problem? We would love to help but we need more info. Maybe send a link to your page?
Joe
can you give us a link to where you have the widget installed? After looking at your page we can help you more.

I just looked at your source and then followed the paths to the images, and I am getting 404 errors! Try re-uploading the plugin, maybe for some reason the images didn't upload. If this doesn't fix things verify that your FollowMe plugin directory is as follows:
http://bloggernewbie.com/blog/wp-content/plugin...
Let me know.
After the plugin is installed and activated, visit, http://www.youraddress.com/wp-admin/options-gen... You should of course replace "http://www.youraddress.com" with the address of your blog.
If you do not see the full settings page then try deactivating the plugin and then reactivating it. if this doesn't work come back and we will brainstorm together!
Any thoughts on adding PLAXO to the list?
Thanks for the feedback, we will take note.
Please can someone assist as I would really like to resolve this asap
Many thanks
Jude
i am not entirely sure what your problem might be, but it could be that you are trying to install an older version of the plugin. Try downloading the most recent version. We changed the URL path in the most recent version, this might fix your issue. please let us know if this issue persist.

Try uploading the plugin again. i am not sure if that will fix your issue, bu I am getting 404 errors on your images directory. Try uploading again and then if that doesn't work, let me know.
Great customer support by the way!
I made some changes so "Display as Box" mode passes validation for XHTML1.0 transitional. At least in the sidebars of several WP 2.7.1 sites we run.
We believe validation is important for maximizing cross-browser usability (and in some instances it can also help with SEO).
Will send the updated code via email.
Thanks much

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the cool plugin!
Nice widget, installs easy, but...no buttons show up. Not in Design/Settings and not in the sidebar? Can you help?

Please let us know if you find any bugs.
Please help, not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thank you!
Thanks - Mike
2 & 3) You are more than welcome to replace any of the images in the plugin's image folder.
You've got the "action" for the options page set to "options.php" A more flexible solution would be to NOT set the action at all and simple put a check in your form code for if($_POST['followme_submit']) { doOptionSave(); }
This will make your plugin work for both WordPress and MU.
Better to save the options as an array called $option, which will be serialized in the dB. The down side is that you have to unserialize the entire array to get one option out, though I suspect this is less of a problem for this plugin than it might be for some.
Making your plugin more cross-compatible with WP/MU will definitely open up more opportunities for your plugin's use!
it looks like your url www.georgebrunton.com is masking laveentosurprise.com This will cause problems on most outbound links that point to pages that require well formed HTTP request to load the page. I would advise you to reload your site with laveentosurprise.com or have your site's address changed to georgebrunton.com with out masking it.
This is a great plugin...
congratulations.
but it don't work for wordpress mu
please fix this asap
This is a great plug-in, mine worked straight away. Only one problem (i'm not a programmer and not too familiar with HTML), i've put the widget in my sidebar, and for some unknown reason it's putting a 'bullet' (round circle indented) infront of 'follow me' and also putting a bullet on the title of a totally different widget below it?
Check out my site http://www.ScriptPhD.com. You can see the two bullets right in front of the "Follow Me" and right in front of the widget below it.
If you guys could help resolve this issue, I would be SO SO grateful. It really is detracting from your widget and my website's appearance.
any ideas?
I have install the plugin into my wordpress. But we are two writers on the blog and we wants to putt the follow me button for each writer. It's possible ? Can we install two plugins in order to have too differents buttons (links are different).
Thanks in advance for your help,
Florian

One thing- there is an annoying looking dot before and after the "follow me" graphic- how can i get rid of those?
Thanks
Greg
I installed the Follow Me widget on my WP blog and it's active in my widget settings
I see it in the page source when viewing my blog, but it's not showing up on the page. Am I doing something wrong?
You can see the code for the Follow Me plug-in in my page source here: http://www.reusablebagblog.com/
Only other plug-in I had was Twitter for Wordpress plug-in activated as well. I turned it off and still cannot see the Follow Me box on my sidebar. I am running WP version 2.8.4.
I see in the source it's looking for the images in (/wp-content/plugins/follow-me/images)
I have WP installed in my /blog/ folder but have it running as my home page, that's probably the issue?
Using this in sidebar at
www.myceredigion.co.uk
It's introducing bullet points
also I'd prefer to place buttons into my existinhg widget boxes any way of doing this?
it's the link to the US site fittingly titled "U.S.A."
