I am not sure what is happening nor what I should check.

This button is selected from the Portfolio options to show and it shows up at bottom of the page but when I click, I only see the mailto:?subject…and the message but nothing happen…

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in! The mailto link should open the default email application (outlook, thunderbird, etc.) of your machine. You can also set up your browser to be the default email application with a Gmail account.

Hope it helps, Cheers!

Re-tested and it is working now. Not sure what happened yesterday.

I now tested but it failed… this code from another post of this forum to allow me to chnage the text of the Share via email button. The result is that all my site goes blank. I am not sure what I should chnaged.

I just put this code in my x-child theme in the functions.php and boum… all blank pages, cannot have my site displayed anymore. There must be something with his code: I am unsure why the initial code had no carriage return on the next line for some lines while I have the lines like this below… does it matter?

function custom_shortcode_entry_share( $atts ) {
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
‘id’ => ”,
‘class’ => ”,
‘style’ => ”,
‘title’ => ”,
‘facebook’ => ”,
‘twitter’ => ”,
‘google_plus’ => ”,
‘linkedin’ => ”,
‘pinterest’ => ”,
‘reddit’ => ”,
’email’ => ”
), $atts ) );

$share_url = urlencode( get_permalink() );
$share_title = urlencode( get_the_title() );
$share_source = urlencode( get_bloginfo( ‘name’ ) );
$share_content = urlencode( get_the_excerpt() );
$share_media_info = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), ‘full’ );
$share_media = $share_media_info[0];

$id = ( $id != ” ) ? ‘id=”‘ . esc_attr( $id ) . ‘”‘ : ”;
$class = ( $class != ” ) ? ‘x-entry-share ‘ . esc_attr( $class ) : ‘x-entry-share’;
$style = ( $style != ” ) ? ‘style=”‘ . $style . ‘”‘ : ”;
$title = ( $title != ” ) ? $title : __( ‘Share this Post’, ‘__x__’ );
$facebook = ( $facebook == ‘true’ ) ? “<i class=\”x-icon-facebook-square\”></i>” : ”;
$twitter = ( $twitter == ‘true’ ) ? “<i class=\”x-icon-twitter-square\”></i>” : ”;
$google_plus = ( $google_plus == ‘true’ ) ? “<i class=\”x-icon-google-plus-square\”></i>” : ”;
$linkedin = ( $linkedin == ‘true’ ) ? “<i class=\”x-icon-linkedin-square\”></i>” : ”;
$pinterest = ( $pinterest == ‘true’ ) ? “<i class=\”x-icon-pinterest-square\”></i>” : ”;
$reddit = ( $reddit == ‘true’ ) ? “<i class=\”x-icon-reddit-square\”></i>” : ”;
$email = ( $email == ‘true’ ) ? “<span><i class=\”x-icon-envelope-square\”></i></span>” : ”;

$output = “<div {$id} class=\”{$class}\” {$style}>”
. ‘<p>’ . $title . ‘</p>’
. ‘<div class=”x-share-options”>’
. $facebook . $twitter . $google_plus . $linkedin . $pinterest . $reddit . $email
. ‘</div>’
. ‘</div>’;

return $output;
}

add_filter(‘init’, ‘custom_entry_share’);

function custom_entry_share() {
remove_shortcode( ‘share’ );
add_shortcode( ‘share’, ‘custom_shortcode_entry_share’ );
}

Hi There,

Please try with this code instead:

function custom_shortcode_entry_share( $atts ) {
  extract( shortcode_atts( array(
  'id'          => '',
  'class'       => '',
  'style'       => '',
  'title'       => '',
  'facebook'    => '',
  'twitter'     => '',
  'google_plus' => '',
  'linkedin'    => '',
  'pinterest'   => '',
  'reddit'      => '',
  'email'       => ''
  ), $atts ) );

  $share_url        = urlencode( get_permalink() );
  $share_title      = urlencode( get_the_title() );
  $share_source     = urlencode( get_bloginfo( 'name' ) );
  $share_content    = urlencode( get_the_excerpt() );
  $share_media_info = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'full' );
  $share_media      = $share_media_info[0];

  $id          = ( $id != '' ) ? 'id="' . esc_attr( $id ) . '"' : '';
  $class       = ( $class != '' ) ? 'x-entry-share ' . esc_attr( $class ) : 'x-entry-share';
  $style       = ( $style != '' ) ? 'style="' . $style . '"' : '';
  $title       = ( $title != '' ) ? $title : __( 'Share this Post', '__x__' );
  $facebook    = ( $facebook == 'true' ) ? "<i class=\"x-icon-facebook-square\"></i>" : '';
  $twitter     = ( $twitter == 'true' ) ? "<i class=\"x-icon-twitter-square\"></i>" : '';
  $google_plus = ( $google_plus == 'true' ) ? "<i class=\"x-icon-google-plus-square\"></i>" : '';
  $linkedin    = ( $linkedin == 'true' ) ? "<i class=\"x-icon-linkedin-square\"></i>" : '';
  $pinterest   = ( $pinterest == 'true' ) ? "<i class=\"x-icon-pinterest-square\"></i>" : '';
  $reddit      = ( $reddit == 'true' ) ? "<i class=\"x-icon-reddit-square\"></i>" : '';
  $email       = ( $email == 'true' ) ? "<span><i class=\"x-icon-envelope-square\"></i></span>" : '';

  $output = "<div {$id} class=\"{$class}\" {$style}>"
  . '<p>' . $title . '</p>'
  . '<div class="x-share-options">'
  . $facebook . $twitter . $google_plus . $linkedin . $pinterest . $reddit . $email
  . '</div>'
  . '</div>';

  return $output;
}

add_action('init', 'custom_entry_share');

function custom_entry_share() {
  remove_shortcode( 'share' );
  add_shortcode( 'share', 'custom_shortcode_entry_share' );
}

The shortcode: [share twitter="true" facebook="true" email="true"]

Let us know how it goes!

[PierreMeulParticipant]

That code works OK but how do I go with changing the text of the Share via Email button that says “Hey, …” ?

[ThaiModerator]

Hi There,

You can try with this shortcode:

[share twitter="true" facebook="true" email="true" email_subject="Your new email subject will go here"]

Hope it helps 🙂

[PierreMeulParticipant]

I am unsure where I would have to put that shortcode… The idea is to have all my portfolio pages reflecting this.
Also how would I do with changing the label of the social icon?

[Rue NelModerator]

Hello There,

Sorry for the confusion. To change text of the Share via Email button that says “Hey, thought you might enjoy this! Check it out when you have a chance”, since you already have your child theme active and ready, please insert this following code in your child theme’s functions.php file.

function change_email_subject($translated) { 
  $your_text  = "insert your translation here";
  $translated = str_ireplace('Hey, thought you might enjoy this! Check it out when you have a chance:', $your_text, $translated);
  return $translated; 
}
add_filter('gettext', 'change_email_subject' );

Please let us know if this works out for you.

[PierreMeulParticipant]

Yes, this code works. Thank you.

[ChristopherModerator]

You’re welcome.

[PierreMeulParticipant]

How do I go now with changing the text of the Social buttons on each of the portfolio pages?

I mean, today when you hover on these it says something like “Share via …” and I’d like to see it in French like “Partager via …”

[ChristopherModerator]

Hi there,

Please translate strings in x.pot file.
Please check this link : https://community.theme.co/kb/translation/

Thanks.

[PierreMeulParticipant]

Thank you for this link. I may consider this process once I have more time.

I have a x-child theme set already, wouldn’t you have a few lines of code to just change that?
