I can't get Sharethis to work in Drupal 6. I just keep getting a "SHARETHIS is null" javascript error. The Sharethis object can't be initialized.

I'm not sure it this has broken because of a recent Drupal core update or because of a Sharethis update, but it's not even close to working.

I tried the sharethis module as well as as two different manual implementations. All proven approaches in past Drupal 5 sites.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

filing a bug report in the issue queue of the module in question may be more fruitful.

But I can even test the javascript snippets in a test.html page (aka, a html page I enter myself and ONLY add the sharethis javascript to) and it still doesn't work.

Seems to be an issue with ShareThis ?

edit: after some research, SHARETHIS doesn't seem to work when the domain is "localhost"

Type in "127.0.0.1" rather than "localhost" and it should work.

I am having the same problem but I have no idea what "the problem is with "localhost"... I try with 127.0.0.1 and its works!" means. Please explain. What should I do to get it to work. Thanks, MT

you need to type to address bar http://127.0.0.1/path-to-your-website/ instead of http://localhost/path-to-your-website/ ..
