AddThis Reccommend API use

Permalink
I have the AddThis smart layers in my website. The only problem is that the recommend feature is showing every possible page. I just want it to show certain pages. Digging deeper I found the API documentation which had the linkFilter function. Now using it with concrete I don't know how. Maybe someone with better knowledge can help. I am thinking of doing an attribute to add to pages that I don't want to show up with AddThis

Here is how to use it from the support section (http://support.addthis.com/customer/portal/articles/1200473-smart-layers-api#.Uq0yNeJu6fs)

linkFilter Decide if the link should be displayed in the specified layer, the function signature looks like:

function(link, layer) { }

link - an object with two properties, title and url, that can be used to determine if you want to show the link or not (e.g. if (link.title === 'http://badurl.com') return falsel;)

layer - the layer where the link could be displayed (e.g. recommended, whatsnext, thankyou).

To not show a link, simply return a boolean false. To show the link, return the link in its original form.

Not sure if this will help at all, but I just went with the AddThis add-on and then added it to a block on the pages that I wanted it to show on.

Hi there!

I'm in charge of support and AddThis and this post came through our Google alerts. The linkFilter option is a JavaScript function. If you post the Smart Layers code you're using on the page here I can walk you through the changes you'll need to make to filter specific URLs.

Here is the code which I have put in the setting tracking code header. The problem I am having is that whats next and recommend shows stacks, page not found links etc. Thanks in advance.
