Instructions

Installing the Floating Horizontal Bar

HTML

This is the HTML portion of the code. Be cautious about nesting it inside other elements as it may not display correctly or in the right position on your pages.

<div class="addthis_bar addthis_bar_medium">
    <label>Share This Page:</label>
    <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style">

Some options to change the style of the Floating Horizontal Bar. You can change the CSS class, addthis_bar_medium, shown in the toolbox div element, with one of the options below. This will size the toolbox and Floating Horizontal Bar. Note that you should choose the appropriate toolbox configuration as well to fit your needs.

Name Description View
addthis_bar_large Sizes the toolbox to fit the larger styled share counters view code
addthis_bar_medium Sizes the toolbox to fit the medium sized (32x32) share icons view code
addthis_bar_small Sizes the toolbox to fit the smaller sized (16x16) share icons view code

Javascript

Here's the javascript code that you'll need to add to your webpage, in addition to the HTML code above. As a best practice, it's suggested that you include it at the bottom or footer of your HTML page.

<script type="text/javascript">
var addthis_config = {
    bar_show_below : 150
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=[YOUR PROFILE ID HERE]"></script>
						

Important: Be sure to replace [YOUR PROFILE ID HERE] with your Profile ID (no brackets needed!) which you can find in your AddThis Profile Settings. Otherwise, AddThis will not be able to provide you analytics for your sharing tool. If you have not already registered for AddThis, you can create an account to get your own Profile ID.
