It allows to place social sharing links with counters (if available) to the most popular social networks: Menéame,Twitter,Facebook,...

== Description ==

It allows to place counters and social sharing links to the most popular social networks like Menéame, Twitter, Facebook, Google Buzz, Tuenti or Bitacoras.com.

It also has WordPress actions (add_action) and filters (add_filter) allowing to select the social sharing links we want to show.

The available functions are:

* `the_social_counters( $counters = array() )`: Displays selected social counters.
	* `$counters`: Array with list of social counters to view, by default `bitacoras,tuenti,google-buzz,meneame,twitter,facebook`

* `the_social_counters__get ( $counters = array() )`: Returns the selected social counters.
	* `$counters`: Array with list of social counters to view, by default `bitacoras,tuenti,google-buzz,meneame,twitter,facebook`

* `social_counter( $social_counter = '', $postparam = false, $linked = true )`: Displays a particular social counter
	* `$social_counter`: Name of social counter, by default the options are `bitacoras,tuenti,google-buzz,meneame,twitter,facebook`
	* `$postparam`: $post object to get the counter, by default system use global $post;
	* `$linked`: Simple option to de-activate link.

* `social_counter__get( $social_counter = '', $postparam = false, $linked = true )`: Returns a particular social counter
	* `$social_counter`: Name of social counter, by default the options are `bitacoras,tuenti,google-buzz,meneame,twitter,facebook`
	* `$postparam`: `$post` object to get the counter, by default system uses global `$post` var.
	* `$linked`: Simple option to de-activate link.


It's also possible to define two constants in 'wp-config.php'...

* SOCIAL_COUNTER__LOAD_CSS: If we define this constant as `false`, the plugin will not load the default style.
* SOCIAL_COUNTER__LOAD_CSS_SMALL: If we define this constanta as `true`, the plugin will load de small icons.
* SOCIAL_COUNTER__TWITTER_USER: The twitter sharing link includes this username with the RT link.


== Installation ==

1. Upload directory `social-counter` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Place code `<?php the_social_counters() ?>` in Loop (home, single,...) in your theme
