HTML Errors

HI ok i love the Extension how ever when it inserts the items it also make it have html errors i have run it throw Clean up Markup with HTML-Tidy but after i did that it brakes? please see attached images

Please help

Is the W3C Validation that you are concerned about?

If so I believe that this is down to non-compliant code provided by the Social Media sites rather than the WA product (which just inserts the code provided by the Social Media sites).

I have to say, I think the worst offender is Google, which I think is pretty shoddy considering it harps on about how compliant sites will rank better etc etc

HI Ian

Yes i want my page to be valid and im sure there is a way to do this without braking it also the stumbleupon dont seam to be working because i just made an account with them but how would i get the likes to show up live?

Thanks

I 'think' you will struggle to validate it if you want to use the Google Social code. The code they supply to use their service doesn't verify.

I am not aware that Stumbleupon provides Likes? The WA Social Toolkit just posts the link to the site - I might be wrong, but thats my understanding of how it works.

Cheers

Ian is correct, you will struggle to validate your page when using social media like buttons. the code provided by the social media sites like google + and face book are not standards compliant scripts



you can show the counter for stumble uppon by changing the s attribute in the stumble upon script. change:

<script src="http://www.stumbleupon.com/hostedbadge.php?s=5&r=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.justvibe.co.uk"></script>

to:

<script src="http://www.stumbleupon.com/hostedbadge.php?s=2&r=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.justvibe.co.uk"></script>

in this code we changed s=5 to s=2

there are 6 possible badge designs for stumble upon, you select which to use through the s attribute.

Hi

Thanks for the information can you tell me how to get the stumbleupon count to show like facebook twitter and google +1 i know it can be done i have seen it on another site i have made accounts on stumbleupon and delicious but the count is not showing?

also i noticed that the google +1 btn is not working when you click it to plush 1 and sign in it dont work and a red explanation mark?

also if you go to www.justvibe.co.uk/ you will notice at the top off the page the number of likes are not the same if you scrool down the page and see your plubin??????

This post has been deleted.

the face book code at the top of your page references your domain correctly:
<fb:like href="http%3A%2F%2Fwww.justvibe.co.uk%2F"


the code further down the page is for the local host domain:
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.php

the same is true for the google plus code:
<g:plusone size="tall" href="http://localhost/index.php"></g:plusone>


I answered your questions about the stumbleupon count in my previous reply.

Hi Jason

thanks for the info and ref to the stumbleupon all you have told me to do is to change badge and that has nothing to do with showing the live count?

Thanks
Daniel

"all you have told me to do is to change badge and that has nothing to do with showing the live count?"

but it does, it has _everything_ to do with showing the live count.


changing the "badge" changes the way the stumble upon icon displays.

some "badges" include the live count, others don't.

there are six different badge designs.

you need to edit the s parameter to change which badge design is being used.

the badge design you are currently using does not include the count.

you need to select a badge design that does include the count.
