How to place RSS icons Post, By Email, Comments at botton of each post.

I would like to place RSS icons "Post, By Email, Comments" at botton of the page. I would also like to add a bookmark link from addthis.com. This is a wordpress plugin. I have attached a pic below to show what i mean.

It must be placed in grey area next to comments.

I know am asking too much, but i will give a little something soon as i my blog is up & running. ;)

You can use HTML and javascript at A. Theme Options -> Post Info Items

Is Share this javascript? Then you could just insert it "as is" at Post Info Items. If it requires a PHP snippet, you could add it in index.php line 188, change

PHP Code:


		
			
if ( is_home() ) { echo postinfo("$bfa_ata_post_footer_home"); }

PHP Code:


		
			
if ( is_home() ) { echo postinfo("$bfa_ata_post_footer_home"); SHARE_THIS_CODE(); }

to add it to the footer of posts on the home page. See the next few lines to add it to the other page types in the same way.

As for the icons. See Post Info Items on how to use your own images in the post footer. Copy those icons from /[theme-folder]/images/ to /[theme-folder]/images/icons/ and they will appear at Post Info Items, with instructions on how to include them. Use %comments-rss('linktext')%
to include the comments RSS for each post. Use straight HTML to include links to the RSS feed and the Feedburner link. Look into the source code in your browser to figure out those two links at the top right of the page. Although I am not sure whether it is useful to include the same links (main RSS & Feedburner) into each post.

Hi Flynn,

Thanx for your previous help, really much appreciated. Your theme is absolutely great.

Since i would like to get two buttons for RSS Feed (one normal and one RRS via email) in every post's kickerbox or footer, it tried to figure the above out, but unsuccesful i'm afraid.

My goal is to get both RSS feed options i have in the header, into each kickerbox or footer. So no seperate comments feed, but the plain rss feed buttons for 'normal' RSS and for RSS by email.

My website is -> www.monochrome.nl
By the way the RSS buttons are slightly to far to the right, probably due to the banners. In the end i'm thinking of taking the RSS buttons away from the header.

Is that possible? And how should i do this... i'm no wizzkid, so pease be patient with me :o

You can turn on/off the RSS buttons in the header at Theme Options -> RSS Settings

Use HTML to put the RSS and Feedburner links/icons into post kicker or footer. Look up the feedburner link in the source code of a browser rendered page of your site

Hi Flynn,

Thanx for your reply.
I copy/pasted some code and erased some as well..... the results are not really perfect, but it's something.

Do you have a tip to get it more to the top of the kickerbox? Seriously... i'm a totall non-wizzkid
This is the current kickerbox code

HTML Code:

%date('F jS, Y')% 

<class="feed-icons" align="right"><a class="email-icon" href="http://feedburner.google.com

/fb/a/mailverify?uri=monochrome/BwOB&amp;loc=en_US" title="Subscribe by EMAIL">RSS</a>

<a class="posts-icon" href="http://www.monochrome.nl/?feed=rss2" 

title="Subscribe to the POSTS feed">RSS</a>

Please look at how it looks now -> www.monochrome.nl

This:

<class="feed-icons" align="right">

is not valid, you should remove it. To move the icons around add HTML/CSS Inserts -> CSS Insert, i.e.

a.email-icon {
margin-top: -5px;
}

Thanx for your help, Flynn.
Unfortunately they are still to low... i have the idea they are placed in the same line as the title, while they should be in line with the post date. This is strange because i put the code in the kickerbox... :confused:

Remember the kicker is at the top og the post. The post container consists of:
KICKER
HEADLING
BYLINE
BODY
FOOTER
Anything in the Kicker comes before the post, not after. Try putting it in the FOOTER
