Hello all, does anyone know if there is a plugin to add a facebook mini 'LIKE' icon to news articles? Ideally so that it shows where the email & print icons are?
Thanks

Just edit your theme where you see:

 <tr class='news_info'>

and add your AddThis or Share scripts in there. Just be sure to use single quotes (') and not (")

Something like this:

         <tr>
             <td class='news_body' colspan='2'>
                 {NEWSBODY}<br />{EXTENDED}<br />
                         </td>
                 </tr>
                 <tr class='news_info'>
                     <td style='float:left;padding:8px;width:80%;'>
                              {NEWSCOMMENTS}
                         </td>
                         <td style='padding:5px;width:21%;text-align:right;'>
                            <div class='addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style'>
                            <a href='http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;pub=duce' class='addthis_button_compact'>Share</a>
                            <span class='addthis_separator'>|</span>
                            <a class='addthis_button_facebook'></a>
                            <a class='addthis_button_email'></a>
                            <a class='addthis_button_favorites'></a>
                            <a class='addthis_button_print'></a>&nbsp;{ADMINOPTIONS}
                            </div>
                            <script type='text/javascript' src='http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js?pub=duce'>
                            var addthis_config = {
                                data_track_clickback: true
                            }</script>
                         </td>
         </tr>

Hello Duce and thanks for your reply, I know it's a few months late but I have only just found some time to try and implement this and already hit a wall so-to-speak. I have checked my Theme.php for the code you mentioned above but it doesn't contain 'news_info' anywhere. I have checked a couple of other Theme.php files and found nothing.

Can anyone shed some light on this please as I would like to get this setup and working properly

Thanks all

this is a plugin made by akogo,something like that ?
A new small plugin based on shortcode {SOCIAL}.
Placing the shortcode in the theme.php file (news section) allows you to quickly add your news and comments to social networking platforms.

With a single click the plugin lets your website users quickly share your news/comments to facebook, twitter, digg
