hey guys 🙂

I have integrated social networking to my forum using a social network login plugin that works wonderfully with the forum and i installed the Share this plugin for the forum.

the share this plugin does not show the post when you share something but uses the topmost image and text on my page... and i do not want these to be in there. can i change the saring image and text manualy? 

or can i somehow get it to take the title of the post and first couple of rows? and have my logo as a picture? it does not look good at all as of now..

here is a shared post from the website: (the most recent one)

$url, $title, $summary

variables inside 

sp_share_this_do_sharing

Might be worth taking a look at Forum > Components > SEO and enabling open graph support. Also, you can set a forum level featured image which can be used if no other page specific image options exist - check out the SEO panel help popup for more info..

not exactly sure what you want to do, but based on what you have written, I believe you should be able to hook into:

sph_share_this_chicklets

its a filter where you are pass 5 arguments:  $out, $options, $style, $url, $title, $summary

$out is the markup about to be written out..  you have access to $url, $title and $summary... you probably have to do a string replace in $out for those variables with what you want...

do you know how to do a standard wp hook?  something like:

add_filter('sph_share_this_chicklets', 'my_sharethis', 10 ,5);
function my_sharethis($out, $options, $style, $url, $title, $summary) {
    # now adjust $out however you want
    # be sure to return it
    return $out;
}

didnt see your post there 🙂 we posted at the same time..

 

i just want the share buttons to show  the forum info and not the page containing the forum info..

and only if that option isn't posible to have a manual set data in there..Ike said it can be changed by the SEO setting.. so i am explotring this option first.. less invasive..

 

but i cant seem to get it working with that...

invasive?? nothing invasive about using a hook... means you only make change once and dont lose it on updates...

I do not understand what you want...  but I dont see how the seo options affect what is passed to facebook...  we share a url, a title and a summary (ie excerpt)...   the opengraph seo usage can impact the image shared...

but if you want to change the url, the title or the summary, you need to adjust via the hook I gave you...

Sorry if I caused any misunderstanding, my post on the SEO option for opengraph was really in reference to the image.

So.. Now I'm kinda lost 🙂

How does the share button get a title, content and image?

It does not work for me and gets text and images from the page containing the forum and not the actual forum post..

So I am sharing the website and not the forum ..take a look at the link provided at the first post. There is no title even in the share.

Or go to my website and try to share..
