fyre more!

return to fyre this button

You can do even more with the Fyre This button. If you're comfortable setting up the Javascript parameters, you can change the button text, the contents of the payload, and more. First, be sure to include our javascript file on your page. Paste this on a page, and you can make all the Fyre This buttons you want.

A basic Fyre This button is created with a call to the javascript file you just included, like this:

<script type="text/javascript">FYREBALL.create({});</script>

Which will look like this:

You'll notice that we passed the create function an empty object. You can use that object to specify certain button behaviors. For example, you can give the button custom text:

<script type="text/javascript">FYREBALL.create({buttonText: 'Custom Text'});</script>

In much the same way, you can include a buttonClass property in the object to give the button a specified CSS class to match your site's styles. However, you'll lose the fyreball image if you do this.

Other properties:

url: Specifies the URL the button will fyre, instead of defualting to the page it is on. This is useful when using the buttn on the front page of a blog to fyre posts whose permanent URLs differ from the URL of the front page.
title: Specifies the autogenerated title of the Fyreball created when the button is pressed.
link_list: Allows additional URLs to be attached to the button. The extra URLs will be added to the Fyreball just like any other link. Pass this parameter an array, e.g. ['url1', 'url2']
description: A block of text that will be added to the newly created Fyreball.

Here's an example of those properties in action:

<script type="text/javascript">FYREBALL.create({
	url:"http://worldfrontpage.com/",
	description: "In Norway there's no tradition for fireworks arranged by the city. It's too cold in January to gather downtown for the celebrations, so everyone just go out into their gardens or a nearby open spot, launch their rockets and then head back inside.\" writes Norwegian photographer Bjørn Christian Tørr. In this case decentralization certainly works. The result is more than simply beautiful.",
	link_list: ['http://worldfrontpage.com/illustrations/2008-Oslo_Norway_by_Bjorn_Christian_Torrissen.jpg'],
	title: 'Norwegian Fireworks'
});</script>
