Social media buttons

Post by **dsco** » Thu 16 Jan, 2014 6:51 pm

Hello all,Hope you're having a good 2014 so far. I've been working on the site over the last couple of days and have just implemented some buttons to allow you to share SecretLeeds threads on popular social media sites. You will find them in the bottom right corner of each message in a thread, including this one. Look, just there, on the right. Down a bit. Next to the 'Top' button that you've really never noticed before. There you go.I am currently trying to work out how to automatically include the message text in your share, but I haven't managed it yet. I'll keep chipping away though!If you have any comments or queries about the new buttons, or you find any bugs or other issues, please drop me an email to ask@tyrell.mobi or post in the thread below.Cheers,dsco

Hi the green share button appears to be a little over sensitive. Using chrome it displays a pop up with a mouseover/point hover even remotely close to it

I don't have pintrest so can't "round trip" but it may be better if like the facebook and twitter buttons it opens in a new page/tab instead of the same page as the back button is actually back two pages. Facebook and Twitter seem to be OK. Now any chance of RSS?

Ignore. Light has dawned.

Thanks for the feedback folks, seems to be working OK then.I'll see if there's anything I can do about the behaviour of the different buttons TykeBhoy, but it's a standard sharing plugin thing (called ShareThis) so I suspect that what you see now is pretty much how it'll be. The buttons all work a bit differently because each site has a slightly different way of handling the share request. The alternative of implementing each button from each site independently was looking pretty messy by the time I gave up on it

Also Tyke, I'd be polite about Linux users round here if I were you...
