Askbot by default support sharing for major social networks like facebook and Twitter. However, I would like to use AddThis.com which is support more networks and support sharing counts per social network.
Also Addthis offer Smart Layers which is really awesome, and can boost traffic and views for your Q/A site.
Solution is the following
First, register with AddThis.com and chose the sharing services you like For example "Share Buttons" and copy the JS code.
Now open this template using any editor
~/askbot/templates/question/share_buttons.html
remove the code in this file or comment the code with
<!-- orginal code Start
orginal code end -->
And insert your AddThis JS code in this file, save file, upload (using FTP) and replace.
Note: the option "Track when users share by copying your URL" will break your title in browsers and google search, so you have to disable it, maybe @Evgeny could help with this.
