** THIS PLUGIN HAS BEEN DEPRECATED AND NOW PART OF FEATURES OF COLDBOX ADDON. We recommend using the addon plugin with the theme instead of this share buttons add-on plugin **

One of the coldbox theme add-on plugin is the share buttons add-on.
The add-on displays share buttons on the theme easily.

  • Requires the SNS Count Cache plugin installed and enabled. The plugin caches the share counts in background and returns the count without loading.

It currently supports Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, Pocket, Feedly and Hatena Bookmark.
