Tutorial: Add a vote button on your site using SteemConnect
Hi,
Today i want to show you how you can embed a vote button on any site in a 2 step simple tutorial using SteemConnect.
1. Add the widget SDK
Copy & paste the following code between the tag <body> of your html page:
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//cdn.steemjs.com/lib/latest/steemconnect-widget.js";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'sc-sdk'));</script>
2. Add vote button code
Change data-author and data-permlink params of the following code to match the post you want to do a vote button. On this example we will use a post of @dantheman:
<span class="sc-vote" data-author="dantheman" data-permlink="who-really-controls-bitcoin"></span>
You can add multiple vote button code on your page, the code will change to a vote button.
Full Code Example
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Website Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//cdn.steemjs.com/lib/latest/steemconnect-widget.js";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'sc-sdk'));</script>
<span class="sc-vote" data-author="dantheman" data-permlink="who-really-controls-bitcoin"></span>
</body>
</html>

Hi @busy.org,
I have tried to open in browser the following:
https://steemconnect.com/embed/vote?author="neander-squirrel"&permlink="the-beauty-of-sunday"&weight="9900"I would like to be able to upvote posts and comments with reduced vote power. Without running a node as I am mostly using Steem from my phone.
Any advice to do that? What am I doing wrong?
I'm searching for information since HF19 but no success. Please help me if you can!
Thank you for your time!
