This plugin should help you easily and unobtrusively integrate ShareThis in your rails app.
$ rails plugin install git://github.com/ample/sharethis.git
This should create sharethis.yml in your config directory. Add your publisher key as well as any widget customizations.
There are three parts to the integration:
1. A javascript include tag before the </body> of your html layout*
<%= raw include_sharethis_if_needed %>
2. Declaration in controller of your choice*
uses_sharethis
3. Within the view where the button should appear*
<%= sharethis :title => "Title to be shared.", :url => "http://www.sharethis.com/" %>
- Write more tests
- Allow for further widget customization
