How to fix Wibiya loading issues on Tumblr

The wibiya toolbar is a great subtle toolbar that can handle a lot of your site’s social networking features, like integrating Facebook FanBoxes, recent tweets, RSS feeds, etc. I first saw the toolbar on mashable where you can see it at the bottom.

After getting a beta account, I tried to install the toolbar on Seneca Hawk’s tumblr. But once I installed it, the rest of the content wouldn’t load. Something about Wibiya was cock-blocking the Cargo theme I’m using. Wibiya tells you to put this javascript right before the </body> tag:

<script src=’http://toolbar.wibiya.com/toolbarLoader.php?toolbarId=[toolbar_id]’; type=’text/javascript’></script>

But that doesn’t work. There are a couple of hidden options for wibiya that’ll make it work with jQuery and load after everything else. The two parameters are:

nc=0 - This parameter disable jQuery no-conflict mode (more compatible with other frameworks like prototype)

pl=1 - this parameter force the toolbar to load only After page load event.

So the new version looks like:

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://toolbar.wibiya.com/toolbarLoader.php?toolbarId=[toolbar_id]&nc=0&pl=1“></script>

Hope that helps. Tumblr + Wibiya = Social Dominance
