How do I install it?

Installing Digg.fx is a simple 2 step process. Quick rundown; step 1 is uploading the files in the .zip file, and step 2 is editing your sidebar to display Digg.fx


Step 1

dir

Once you have extract the .zip file, you should see the above files in a folder called diggin_friends. Two (2) folders, img and scripts, and two (2) documents namely style.css and diggin_friends.php. All you have to do is upload the diggin_friends folder to the following directory in your wordpress installation:


http://www.sitename.com/wp-content/plugins/

Step 2

Step 2 requires you to log into your admin panel and activating your plug-in through the "Plugins" section, the plugin will be called Digg.fx. It's that simple!

Using Sidebar widgets plugin? Then you're done! Just visit your widgets menu and add it to your sidebar.

Step 3

The final step requires some PHP editing, but I'll follow you through this so you have nothing to worry about.

What you want to do is edit your sidebar.php file. Log into your admin panel, go into the Presention section, click on Theme Editor and locate your 'sidebar' in the right menu. When you click on it Wordpress will load the PHP code into the text box on the left.

Once all the code has loaded within the text box, you'll want to copy the code below wherever you want the Digg.fx box to appear. Just make sure that it's after '<div id="sidebar"> and before '</div>'.

 

Be sure to replace the text 'username' with your Digg.com username!

<?php do_action('diggin_friends', 'username') ?>

That's it, Digg.fx should now appear in your sidebar on your blog! Below you'll find an example of what it will look like on your blog.
