This plugin checks how many Diggs an article has, and shows a "Digg This" badge if it already has 10 Diggs.

== Description ==

This plugin is designed to automatically add a "Digg This" badge to your articles that already have some popularity on Digg.  This way you can automatically add badges to your articles without having a bunch of "1 Digg" articles.

The plug-in inserts some Javascript into your articles.  This Javascript allows the plug-in to access the Digg API.  Through the API, the plug-in determines if your article has enough Diggs (by default: 10).  If it does, the "Digg This" badge is displayed.  Otherwise, the Javascript is deleted and no badge is shown.

Note on Wordpress version:  This should work on earlier versions.  However, it's only been tested on Versions 2.3.3 and up.  If you successfully use the plug-in on an earlier version of Wordpress, please leave a comment at the plugin homepage so that I can update the information in this readme.

== Installation ==

Follow the normal Wordpress Plugin procedures - no special template tampering is required.

1.  Upload 'wp-digg-conditional.tar.gz' to your plugins folder.
2.  Uncompress the archive, preserving the folder structure.
3.  Activate the plug-in through the "Plugins" section of your dashboard.
4.  (Optional) Edit the $minDiggs variable in "check-digg-stats.php" to customize the number of Diggs are article needs to receive a badge.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I customize the number of Diggs it takes to be considered "popular?" =

In future versions, this will be added as an option to the plug-in in your dashboard.  In the meantime, you can manually change this value in the "check-digg-stats.php" page.

Look for the declaration of $minDiggs.  It should be set to 10.  Change '10' to whatever value you want to use as a benchmark.

= Do I have to link to prototype.js again if I'm already using it? =

No.  As long as you have a site-wide link in to the external javascript file prototype.js, you can comment out the line in the plug-in that adds a reference to it.

Open "wp-digg-conditional.php".  Scroll down to about line 37.  Comment out the line that creates a javascript element with src "$root . '/wp-content/plugins/wp-digg-conditional/prototype.js".

= How can I get an answer to a new question? =

If you have a problem, question, or feature request, you can send them my way and I'll deal with them when I have the time.

The easiest way would be to go to the [plug-in homepage](http://www.earn-web-cash.com/scripts-plugins-and-modules/wp-plugin-digg-badge/ "Conditional Digg This Plugin Homepage") and leave a comment.
