Change ShareThis Info?

[doktadivah]

Hi there,

My client wants to be able to change the ShareThis link and text that are included when someone Tweets a post. Ideally, he’d like to use his own custom URL and determine what text goes in the Tweet or FB post. I see the ST functions in”single” – what should I change it *to*? Alternatively, could it just be disabled and use a different sharing plugin? http://brothatech.com

Many thanks!

Hi,

Please check this thread and follow the documentation for ShareThis! to customize this part.

Hi Cosmin,

It looks like I don’t have access to that link. I only have a Flexform license so far.

I’m still trying to hash this out. If I change the st_url to bit.ly/ – will it still generate a dynamic link for that particular post? Or will it be a hard link to the main site itself? I actually don’t see the section where I can change the message, either. I’m looking at the single.php:

<div class="share-links clearfix">
<div class="share-text"><?php _e("Share:", "swiftframework"); ?></div>
<div class="share-buttons">
<span class='st_facebook_hcount' displayText='Facebook'></span>
<span class='st_twitter_hcount' displayText='Tweet'></span>
<span class='st_googleplus_hcount' displayText='Google +'></span>
<span class='st_linkedin_hcount' displayText='LinkedIn'></span>
<span class='st_pinterest_hcount' displayText='Pinterest'></span>
</div>

Should I be looking in another location for the code as indicated at the ShareThis link above?

@doktadivah – ShareThis is not something we coded, so I couldn’t say how changing the URL will affect sharing on their side.

Based on their doecs, I’ve explained how to change it (read here)

The link asks me for my license info again. I only have access to the Flexform forum. The links to other support forums don’t work for me. When I enter my code for Flexform I’m denied access.

Ah, sorry about that, it was posted for Supreme.

Here it is:
————————————
Edit single.php and find this line:

<span class='st_twitter_hcount' displayText='Tweet'></span>

Replace with:

<span class='st_twitter_hcount' displayText='Tweet' st_title='<?php the_title(); ?> {via @YOURusernameHERE}'></span>

Some of the users said it still won’t work, but I haven’t found any other documentation on the ShareThis website – that’s all they tell you.
