Specific Instructions #13

Closed moneymustard closed 5 years ago

moneymustard commented 5 years ago

Looking for more specific instructions to help me out, as a novice developer.

Going from the site here. Have a few questions about each step.

What specifically do I do with the distribution files after downloading?

Where do I include the Applause button JavaScript and stylesheet on my page if I want the button to appear site-wide?

When you say "then add the applause-button element" in Step 2, where do you add it? Also, what is its nomenclature to look for?

Thanks for the help

Hi @moneymustard - I'll see if I can help out ...

What specifically do I do with the distribution files after downloading?

You place the CSS and JS files on your webserver, and reference them in your HTML files as follows:

<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="applause-button.css" />
  <script src="applause-button.js"></script>
</head>

Where do I include the Applause button JavaScript and stylesheet on my page if I want the button to appear site-wide?

I'm afraid this really depends on the way your site is constructed. Is it a Wordpress site? If so, you should have theme files that allow you to make site-wide changes.

When you say "then add the applause-button element" in Step 2, where do you add it? Also, what is its nomenclature to look for?

Where you add the element is up to you - and will dictate where it appears from a user perspective. Feel free to experiment!
