AddMySite Plugin for WordPress

Updated September 21, 2022 • 61 comments

[ AddMySite ] The AddMySite (AMS) plugin for WordPress makes it easy for your visitors to add your site and feed to all of their favorite social-bookmarking services. Share instantly with awesome sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Plus, and Twitter. With a few clicks, users can quickly bookmark or add your site to over 20 popular social bookmarking services. It’s like a dream come true for simple social-media sharing. Simple, fast, and easy :)

Update: Project Completion

It’s been a great run! With over 9,000 downloads and 15 plugin updates, the AddMySite project was educational, rewarding, and hopefully useful. But all earthly things must come to an end, so I will be discontinuing support and development of AddMySite as of March 3rd, 2018. The final version of the plugin will remain available for reference purposes.

Installation/Usage

Upload plugin to plugins directory and activate.
Visit Appearance > Widgets to enable and customize the AMS widget.
Enjoy! ;)

Screenshots

Note: this is the final version of the plugin. Updates and support are discontinued as of March 3rd, 2018.

I believe I’ve done what I’m supposed to, i.e. edited the variables and then uploaded the plugin but when I went to activate it I got thise error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting T_VARIABLE or ‘$’ in /home/soholif/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/AddMySite.php on line 110

What have I done wrong?

Kathie,
The specified parse error indicates missing characters and/or incorrect syntax. My advice? Uninstall the file, download a fresh copy, and try again. Be very careful when editing the variables — PHP is hyper-sensitive when it comes to proper syntax.

I was curious how easy would it be to convert this script to work on my gaming site?

Is it safe to assume that your gaming site is a non-WordPress site?

I would really like to try out this plugin but whenever I try to download it I get this…

WordPress database error: [Got error -1 from storage engine]

I’m using Safari on my iMac G4 running OS 10.4.9. Something I’m doing wrong?

Now I’m having quite the time simply viewing your site, so sorry about the double post.

I am completely baffled by the error message — never seen or heard of it before.. unfortunately, i am unable to spend any time investigating until early next week. in the meantime, I have taken the liberty of sending you the zipped copy of AddMySite via email. Thank you for taking the time to share this information.

I like the concept, but from my tests it appears that I can only add my site (as the name would imply) and not my post, correct? If not, then how can I have visitors add a particular post to whatever community they wanted?

Mark,

There are many options for sharing posts with the various bookmarking services. I would recommend Alex King’s Share This plugin. There is also the excellent addthis.com service, which does all the dirty work for you! As soon as I find the extra time, I plan to add "individual-post-adding" functionality to the AddMySite plugin, along with several other nifty improvements. Cheers!

I think I’ve read something simillar a few days ago. I don’t remember where, might have been on digg.com or slashdot.
