  Hey Leo,
  
  This plugin is designed to work within any widgetized area, so if you’ve got an are in your header for it, you’re good.

AWESOME Plugin.

Any chance of adding a icon for soundcloud?

Hello!

Does this plugin allow you to put the icons horizontally? I only see samples with the icons going down. Please advice. Thank you.

Adriana

  Hey Adriana,
  
  Yep – it does. It’s able to be styled via CSS. Just display the list items inline and you’re good to go.

All my jQuery Scripts run on my page accept yours and I can’t figure out what it is conflicting with. I’ve disabled all my plugins and still no go. I have the icons running in a widget built into my header. I can’t figure out what the problem is though, but for some reason the jQuery does not seem to be working for your particular plugin.

      Thanks! I checked it out. The problem appears to be that a script on your page (it appears to be the jQuery TreeView script) is being included after my plugin.
      
      I don’t necessary know how it’s working but viewing the page source, I can see that it’s including jQuery later in the page (which it should be done first thing) and I can see that you’re using an old version (namely 1.3) rather than 1.4.2 or even 1.5.1.

I’m trying to install this (first-time, not upgrade), and I’m getting a fatal error on line 190. Any ideas?

  Seems an odd place for an error to crop up – haven’t seen this before.
  
  What version of WordPress are you running and can you shoot me a screen shot (via email) of the error message?

  - Adam K March 23, 2011 at 2:06 pm
    
    Sure – it’s on a site running WordPress 3.1, and I’m installing it via the plugin installer (not FTP).
    
    The error message is:
    
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/www/crossfitgarland.com/stage/wp-content/plugins/tipsy-social-icons/tipsy-social-icons.php on line 190

      Sounds like this may be an issue with the version of PHP running on your server – what version are you running?

        Yeah, that’s it – it’s on a client’s site that’s running php 4 at the moment. I just tested in one of mine w/ php 5, and it works like a charm.
        
        Thanks for figuring that one out – I was banging my head for too long.

Is there a way to add a myspace icon? I am assuming I would have to edit code to add it, can you give me a quick “how-to”/where i need to change the code to add myspace?
(I know myspace is soo 2008 but im dealing with a record label page and myspace is still used for the musicians on our label)

Thanks!

  Heya Steve – sure thing. It’d be easier to cover this via email. Shoot me one at tom [at] tommcfarlin [dot] com.

Any idea why 1.) the border around the Tipsy widget block on my client’s blog appears to be doubling up on thickness, and 2.) a small light colored square with lines inside is appearing to the top left of the tipsy block?

  Not sure, Audra. Shoot me a link to the URL and I’ll take a look!

Thank you for the “Tipsy Social Icons” Plug-In! It works great, is very easy going and the icons are well designed. I miss just an easy way to change the order of appearance of the icons.

  Noted! I’ll consider that for a future version .

LOVE the Tipsy Social Icons widget. I was able to easily install it and add my links. It even worked within a purchased theme I am using. SO BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks a million!

My icons are showing up in Safari, but not in Firefox.

  Hey Jeff,
  
  What version of Firefox? I’ve got FF4 here on Win7 and I can’t reproduce the bug.
  
  Let me know!

I love this plugin – been using it for a few months at the top of my sidebar – fits beautifully and is so simple to use.
2 questions -

1. I just installed the update and it disappeared from my plugin and widget lists. Any idea on where it went? I can’t find it, although when I go to reinstall it, I get a message saying that its already installed. Not sure what to do!

2. Do you have plans to add a FourSquare Icon?

Thanks again for this great widget!

  Brett,
  
  Try deleting the plugin via FTP then reinstalling. First reported incident of this so I definitely wanna follow up if you can’t get it to work >
  
  Didn’t have a plan to add a FourSquare icon, but I’ll add it to the hopper and plan to integrate it next time I update the plugin.

    WOW thank you for the very fast reply. I deleted the files through FTP and then reinstalled, but this time got an error saying that it could not be installed because of a “missing header”. I’m going to do some more testing on my end to see if its my problem, but I’ve never seen that kind of message before. But if you have any thoughts on that message, let me know!

      Make sure you’re running the latest version of WordPress – that’s what I tested it against. Otherwise, track and it down and lemme know!

        Hey,
        
        Got back to my desk and found the same problem with the header. I’m using 3.2.1 so I tried a manual install, but got the same results. Though the install was fine it was trying to activate it that I got the invalid header screen.
        
        To me (bit of a noob on plugins) it looks fine. Wish I could be more helpful as I just spent lunch showing a client how easy this was to use.

    Works for me too, and even though I did a complete reinstall, it remembered my previous settings!

Nice plugin… but where do we edit the actual tooltip?

Reply
- Tom July 31, 2011 at 7:00 pm
  
  The tooltip is generated automatically – you can’t edit it yet. I’m working on an update to this plugin that offers a lot more functionality. I’m hoping to release it in August.

this is an awesome plugin! my only problem is the Google+ icon. I’m OCD about accuracy, so much that I went ahead and created my own to replicate the actual Google+ icon.

Reply
- Tom January 24, 2012 at 4:23 pm
  
  Thanks dude – yeah I plan to update that and introduce a few new options in a bit, but I normally batch work so it’ll be included in the next release.
  
  The premium version of the plugin has a more updated version of the icon, too.

Hi Everyone,

If anyone needs help adding more lines or customized links and logos let me know. I’ve done it several times. If Tom doesn’t have time to help I’m more than willing to help you out.
