So when a user would share something from your .addEntry function to email it would arrive as:</p> <p>Email<br /> [url of the page the button is hosted on]<br /> Email this article to your friends. </p> http://forums.sharethis.com/topic/customizing-the-sharethis-icon-for-emailing#post-711 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 15:50:40 +0000 Mystalic 711@http://forums.sharethis.com/ <p>Code I'm working with, though I'm certain I'm missing something simple and obvious...</p> <p>&lt;script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"&gt;<br /> var object = SHARETHIS.addEntry({<br /> title:'Email',<br /> summary: 'Email this article to your friends.'},<br /> {button:false});<br /> document.write('&lt;span id="share"&gt;<a href="void(0);">&lt;img src="http://dev.spine-health.com/sites/all/themes/spinehealth/images/widgets/printemail/emailArticleImage.gif" /&gt;</a>&lt;/span&gt;');</p> <p>var element = document.getElementById("share");<br /> object.attachButton(element);<br /> &lt;/script&gt;</p> <p>The pure src for doing email:<br /> src="http://w.sharethis.com/widget/?tabs=email&amp;charset=utf-8&amp;style=default&amp;publisher=5642cb25-f833-4b67-b390-577b7b6de0ee&amp;headerbg=%23e08010" </p> http://forums.sharethis.com/topic/customizing-the-sharethis-icon-for-emailing#post-705 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 14:18:29 +0000 Mystalic 705@http://forums.sharethis.com/ <p>Okay, I just realized its default is "email" when you're logged out of ShareThis. </p> http://forums.sharethis.com/topic/customizing-the-sharethis-icon-for-emailing#post-704 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 14:02:42 +0000 Mystalic 704@http://forums.sharethis.com/ <p>Hey,</p> <p>First of all, I'm sure these are simple questions, but I'm new to AddThis and I'm not a Javascript programmer (I understand the basics of programming though).</p> <p>I want to create a separate ShareThis just for emailing articles. So of course I created a new button that only has email options (thus it's designed just for people to email their friends and for us to track the stats). I'm having trouble putting that together with custom code that would have the text "Email This" and an email/envelope icon. </p> <p>I'm basing a lot of the customization off of the API: <a href="http://support.sharethis.com/developers/developers-faq/stapi/62" rel="nofollow">http://support.sharethis.com/developers/developers-faq/stapi/62</a></p> <p>And lastly, is there any way to default it to "email" instead of "view all"? I know they both work the same, but it may confuse people regardless.</p> <p>Thank you so much.<br /> - Ben </p>
