[Genesis] how to put a "tweet" button under each post in list WordPress

Hello,

I'm not familiar with Genesis but it is possible to override templates by using [[LINK href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themesl"]]Child Themes[[/LINK]]. You have to create a child theme which uses Genesis as parent. To do that you just create a new theme as usual but add this line to <em>style.css</em>:
template: genesis

Maybe Genesis provides some way to override parts of templates. Via action and filter hooks probably. You have to check in with Genesis' documentation.

As for the Twitter button you can use the code provided by Twitter:
[[LINK href="http://twitter.com/about/resources/tweetbutton"]]http://twitter.com/about/resources/tweetbutton[[/LINK]]

You just have to specify a <em>data-url</em> and <em>data-text</em> attributes for the <a> element because by default the Tweet button will use the current page URL and title. You should use WP's template tag <em>get_permalink</em> to get the post's URL and <em>the_title</em> for the post's title. Something like that:


<a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-url="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>" data-text="<?php the_title(); ?> data-count="vertical">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>


That code has to be placed inside a WP loop. If you want to have that for a long list of posts, you should use just one <em><script></em> element. Best placed at the end of the page (before <<em>/body></em>).

Hook the code to "genesis_after_post"

Something like

add_action('genesis_after_post' , 'sweety_tweety');
function sweety_tweety() {
echo "Insert button code of choice";
}

Style as needed in your regular style.css file.
