Can you plus google add to the share this page button? --Matador apol 05:38, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

Certainly, though if you or someone could tell me how the link etc would work, that would help. I know nothing about these things.

Now, is he talking about "Google+" or "Google +1"? If it's the former, I believe you would add the following to User:Lyrithya/share.js:

shares[8] = ['https://m.google.com/app/plus/x/?v=compose&content=' + titlenu + ' - ' + pathn, 'Google+', 'd-googleplus']

or just replace shares[3] (Google Buzz) with the above code. Google Buzz is dead, ain't it?

and then add the following to MediaWiki:Common.css:

#d-googleplus a { background: url(http://www.google.com/images/icons/ui/gprofile_button-16.png) no-repeat left !important; }

Somebody needs to try out that link first, though, as I stole it from instructions for a WordPress blog, and I don't HAVE a Google+ account.

Maybe I should have phrased that differently: 'If someone could give me a link that they know works, it would help'... or was there a blog using it? Even if you don't HAVE a google+ account, it's usually fairly reasonable to assume if folks are actually using it, they probably tested it themselves. Not always; they could have done the same thing, but... eh.

Well, then, "https://m.google.com/app/plus/x/?v=compose&content=TITLE - PATH" looks like it works. Sorry for sticking my nose in places it doesn't belong.  ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Fri, Nov 4 '11 22:22 (UTC)

If you think it'll work, that's all you had to say. We'll hear from folks soon enough if it doesn't, especially if the above fellow is still paying attention.

Still searching for a better solution, though. According to all I've read, Google+ do not yet have an "official" share link, so this is sort of a hack.  ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Fri, Nov 4 '11 23:16 (UTC)

Yes I am still here, I haven't left I just forgot to hit the refresh button. I found this link http://www.google.com/+1/button/ not sure where to go from there. Thanks --Matador apol 01:03, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

Or this link http://www.google.com/intl/en/webmasters/+1/button/index.html--Matador apol 01:06, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

Could you refresh on a page, see if what we did works? It's in the place of the Buzz one.

1234 ~ 01:44, 5 November 2011

No, it takes me to some other wierd looking google page, I think it is the mobile version of google. Oh and I meant +1.--Matador apol 01:55, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

Alright, removed that. If you do find the right thing, let us know, eh? Though I couldn't find anything either. >.<

1234 ~ 01:59, 5 November 2011

Sorry, here is the link again http://www.google.com/intl/en/webmasters/+1/button/index.html the other 404 for some reason.--Matador apol 02:01, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

this page has more in-depth stuff about the Google +1 button, but there's nothing there that I see in terms of adding a simple goddamned link to a page. If somebody would like, I'll make a Google+ dummy account and poke around in the API until I find something useful. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Sat, Nov 5 '11 2:07 (UTC)

Well, unless you have something better to do. If we just wait, chances are they'll make something easier known sooner or later, since it is in the best interests of a social dealy to be seen and spread and such... but then again, maybe they're trying to attract people like you who want a challenge, or something. Yeah, maybe it was totally intentional. Like this muskox on my head. Totally intentional.

1234 ~ 03:00, 5 November 2011

More like intentional stupidity. Remember how Chrome didn't have extensions until frickin' version 4.0? "Simplicity blah blah user friendliness blah blah." My ass.

Yesterday, Google +1 buttons littered my screen. They were all over the search results page. Now? I can't find a damned one.

Oh, and I also can't log into my newly-created Google+ account. (Expletive) Google.  ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Sat, Nov 5 '11 5:39 (UTC)

Okay, now that's pretty funny. I'd wonder what they're up to, but that'd take effort.
