Add page to Social sharing shortcode

Hi Team,

is it possible to extend the social sharing shortcode [share title="…" …] with individual sharing services (e.g. Xing)?
I believe this could be done via function.php couldn’t it?

Thank you,
Michael

Hi Michael,

The social share shortcode is fixed and you would not be able to override it directly through functions.php as you will have to further customize the code if you wish to override it although It could be possible with custom development, but this would be outside the scope of support we can offer. You may wish to consult a developer to assist you with this. X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities.

Thanks for understanding. Take care!

Hi Jade,

I see.
Can you provide me with the path/filename where the original code (maybe “x_shortcode_entry_share_v2”) is?

Thank you,
Michael

Hi Michael,

Please check in plugins/cornerstone/includes/shortcodes/share.php.

Perfect. Thank you!

Sorry. I use Pro and not cornerstone…
Under /wp-content/plugins is no “cornerstone”

Is it:
/wp-content/themes/pro/cornerstone/includes/shortcodes

Or does Pro has its own file?

I am currently unsure, if we are talking from the same:
I wanna add Xing to this Pro shortcode:
"[share title=“Beitrag teilen” facebook=“true” twitter=“true” google_plus=“true” linkedin=“true” pinterest=“false” reddit=“false” email=“true”]

Thank you,
Michael

Hi there,

Yes that is the file that renders the shortcode:

pro\cornerstone\includes\shortcodes\share.php

@Jade:

The social share shortcode is fixed and you would not be able to override it directly through functions.php

Why this should not be possible @Jade?

This seams to be working like a charm:

add_action('init', 'fix_share', 999999999999);
 
function fix_share () {
  remove_shortcode( 'x_share' );
  remove_shortcode( 'cs_share' );
  remove_shortcode( 'share' );
  add_shortcode( 'x_share', 'x_shortcode_share_v2' );
  add_shortcode( 'cs_share', 'x_shortcode_share_v2' );
  add_shortcode( 'share', 'x_shortcode_share_v2' );
 }

function x_shortcode_share_v2( $atts ) {
  extract( shortcode_atts( array(
    'id'          => '',
    'class'       => '',
    'style'       => '',

    'pinterest'   => '',

    'email'       => '',
    'email_subject' => ''
  ), $atts, 'x_share' ) );

  $share_url        = urlencode( get_permalink() );

  if ( is_singular() ) {
    $share_url = urlencode( get_permalink() );
  } else {
    global $wp;
    $share_url = urlencode( home_url( ($wp->request) ? $wp->request : '' ) );
  }

  if ( is_singular() ) {
    $share_title = ( $share_title    != '' ) ? esc_attr( $share_title ) : urlencode( get_the_title() );
  } else {
    $share_title = ( $share_title    != '' ) ? esc_attr( $share_title ) : urlencode( apply_filters( 'the_title', get_page( get_option( 'page_for_posts' ) )->post_title) );
  }

  $share_source     = urlencode( get_bloginfo( 'name' ) );
  $share_image_info = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'full' );
  $share_image      = ( function_exists( 'x_get_featured_image_with_fallback_url' ) ) ? urlencode( x_get_featured_image_with_fallback_url() ) : urlencode( $share_image_info[0] );

Glad to hear you got it sorted. I mentioned that is still possible through further custom development but it goes beyond the scope of our support.

Cheers!
