Hello,

i am working on a fresh install of the current stabel drupal and digg this modul and ran into an issue with the placement of the button within a blog posting.

although i have given the button a "weight" of 0 i am unable to place the digg button on the same level as the body of a blog posting with the text flowing around the button. google gave me the hint of adding some css code "float: left;" but that doesn't seem to have any effect. the digg button is either above or below the content. my html is a bit rusty but for me it looks like that there is a "

" inserted before the digg this button that prevents it from ever beeing inline with the text.

any hints on how i get this working without to much hacking?

thx in advance

an example can be found here: http://hanta.de/node/1

When using float you also need to set the width, for example like that:
.diggthis_button {float:left;width:70px;}

THX! As it turns out i have no idea what i am doing. I added the css code, including the width but in the wrong css file. I still do not know which file to edit so i just patched the digg this module and added the style inline, now everything is like i want it.
i know that this quick fix will haunt me on the next update, guess i should figure out how to add custom css stuff in drupal ;)

Anyway thx, your comment pointed me into the right direction.

You can add styesheets in modules using drupal_add_css or edit the style.css in your theme. But, if you use a core or contributed theme an update will override your changes. In this case you can create a sub-theme, which won't be affected by updates.
