Placing multiple Share buttons on the page
Last modified:
Allow your website visitors to share your posts without going to the post’s page. How? Place Share buttons into the Appearance of entries template to make it look like this:
Here are the steps you need to take:
- Upgrade to the PRO Plan
- Create a Share buttons set
- Place the button set’s code on the website
Create a Share button set
Create a new Share button set:
In the settings, scroll down to the "Don’t share this page" option and check "use the URL which is different from the page’s one":
In the field that will appear, specify the website’s domain name and the template’s variable that takes to the post’s page: http://example.com$ENTRY_URL$ or https://example.com$ENTRY_URL$. This value will be added into the data-url attribute:
data-url="http://example.com$ENTRY_URL$"
In the future, you can change the value of this attribute in the website’s template as you think fit. That’s why you won’t need to create an individual set for a forum, simply change the value of the data-url attribute to $THREAD_URL$ in the generated code:
data-url="http://example.com$THREAD_URL$"
Also, in the mobile settings activate the disable mobile version option:
Now save the set and copy the received code:
Place the set’s code on the website
Open the Control Panel of the website and head over to "Design > Design management (templates)". On the page that will appear, choose the "Appearance of entries" template of the module you want to add the Share buttons to. For example, "Ad Board":
Paste the code you have received earlier (1) and click on the "Save" button (2):
The installation is complete!
