AddThisPlugin: Notice of Termination of AddThis Services

AddThis is no longer running, they have put an annoucement in their website.

“As part of a periodic product portfolio review, Oracle has made the business decision to terminate all AddThis services effective as of May 31, 2023.” https://www.addthis.com/

So the AddThis plugin doesn’t work in OJS. We have delated the plugin in our multi website to avoid confusion.
I am not sure if this is the right way to inform the community or if there have been another post warning about it.

Hi @RCUB,

Thanks for your post. PKP was made aware of this some time ago: Notice of Termination of AddThis Services · Issue #28 · pkp/addThis · GitHub

We are looking into whether or not we make a more formal announcement about this in the future?

Thanks @rcgillis , I looked for this information in the forum but I could not find it. Sorry for opening a new post about it.

For future references, as Diego explains in gitHub, Shariff is the natural substitute for AddThis.
And while we’re on the subject, it turns out that it’s a much better choice in terms of privacy… so all good news. :wink:

Just noticed the Shariff plugin is only shown in 3.3+ plugin galleries.

If you are in 3.2, you will probably like to know you can install it manually from Ronald’s releases: Releases · ojsde/shariff · GitHub

For 3.2 here you have a direct link:
https://github.com/ojsde/shariff/releases/download/v3_1_2/shariff-3.1.2.zip

I qualsevol cosa, xiula :wink:

Salut,
m.
