Simple integration of the AddThis social sharing widget for Django projects.
Project description
django-addthis
A simple integration of the AddThis social sharing widget for Django projects.
Authored by Raymond Wanyoike, and some great contributors.
Installation
First install the module, preferably in a virtual environment. It can be installed from PyPI:
pip install django-addthisSetup
You’ll need to add addthis to INSTALLED_APPS in your project’s settings.py file:
INSTALLED_APPS += [
'addthis',
]Configuration
The addthis_widget template tag requires a site profile id: pub_id. Either pass it as pub_id, or set PUB_ID in your ADDTHIS_SETTINGS settings dictionary:
ADDTHIS_SETTINGS = {
'PUB_ID': 'xx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
...
}The site profile id can be found by visiting its Profile Options page on AddThis (ID:).
There are a few configuration options for addthis that can be placed in your ADDTHIS_SETTINGS settings dictionary:

Please see the example application. This application is used to manually test the functionalities of this package. This also serves as a good example.
You need Django 1.8 or above to run that. It might run on older versions but that is not tested.
Usage
First of all, load the addthis in every template where you want to use it:
{% load addthis %}then load the widget:
{% addthis_widget %}Visit the AddThis Get the Code page and create/generate your social sharing code, e.g:
<!-- Go to www.addthis.com/dashboard to customize your tools --> <div class="addthis_sharing_toolbox"></div>Be sure to omit the:
<script type="text/javascript"src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=xx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"></script>part of the (generated) code as the addthis_widget template tag takes care of this.
Example
{% load addthis %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>django-addthis Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Go to www.addthis.com/dashboard to customize your tools -->
<div class="addthis_sharing_toolbox"></div>
<p>Well, the way they make shows is, they make one show. That show's
called a pilot. Then they show that show to the people who make shows,
and on the strength of that one show they decide if they're going to
make more shows. Some pilots get picked and become television programs.
Some don't, become nothing. She starred in one of the ones that became
nothing.</p>
