Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.I was getting the following JS error message when adding multiple sharethis widgets to a single page:
TypeError: stButtons.messageQueueInstance is null
I found this on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/a/12363869/197375. It turns out that including the buttons.js script from sharethis more than once causes problems. So here's a patch that only includes the buttons.js script once.

Lythimus CreditAttribution: Lythimus commentedThanks. I was receiving this error when using colorbox_node.module and this patch appears to have resolved it. I recommend pushing into dev branch.

tags for the ShareThis service. It does not convert the configuration screen to use #attached instead of inlining javascript inside a div.Comment #4

steven.wichers CreditAttribution: steven.wichers commentedI just checked out the 2.x-dev branch and the code is too different to apply the patch to. The patch I provided will apply cleanly to the 2.5 release, but is not useful for continued development. I made a patch for the dev branch (that includes using #attached for the form related javascript), but because the dev branch uses theme() for including the javascript and ShareThis elements it is open to caching problems. drupal_add_js() will not include the javascript when serving up a cached tpl. The proper way to do this is to use a render array with the #attached attribute including the necessary scripts. Doing it in this manner will ensure Drupal only includes scripts once, and they get included even if the theme output gets cached.
