Wordpress Custom Hooks For Theme Issue

I'm very new to wordpress. I'm developing a wordpress theme and using social share button plugin to share the post on social networking websites. Now all the social buttons are shown just below the post content. but I want them to show on a custom position in the post div.

the plugin button are shown using the following piece of code:

add_filter('the_content', 'ssb_display');

This code shows the social share buttons below post contents but I want them to show on another position in the same post div. How can I do this. Please don't give negative to my question as I'm newbie in wordpress.

Actually i want to define my own filter hook in wordpress then add_filter to that hook.

thanks.

Once, you can remove action with this code:

remove_filter('the_content', 'ssb_display');

Now, plugin don't add any code your output. And you can add social buttons to where you want with this code:

if (function_exists('ssb_share_icons')) 
     echo ssb_share_icons();

The opposite of add_filter is remove_filter, and since the callback is registered by a name function you only need to add

// functions.php
remove_filter('the_content', 'ssb_display');

And then display, the button where you want.

Update

If for any reason you can't use ssb_display function directly in your template, you can use a custom filter with apply_filters

// functions.php
add_filter('show_the_ssb_button', 'ssb_display')

// template.php
<?php echo apply_filters('show_the_ssb_button', $content) ?>

If ssb_display doesn't use specific info from content, then $content variable can be an empty string.
