Share with Xing

[Thaelys]

Hello There,

Thank you for the awesome work you keep on doing !
Can we find a way to Share with Xing on PRO via the Social element, the same way we do it for Facebook and Linkedin ?

thank you very much !

Hi @Thaelys,

Regretfully, there is no such option for share with Xing in the Pro. Alternatively, you can use any free plugins available in the WordPress repository.

Please remember that we don’t offer any support to third party plugin and custom codes or any issues related to it.
Thanks

Hi @Thaelys,

I saw this thread and want to add a bit of context. It is possible via custom development to extend the social share functionality. We can’t fully implement this for you, but I can advise on what code can be used as a starting point. Here’s an example of code you can place in a plugin or functions.php of a child theme

// Add xing type to the social element list
add_filter( 'cs_social_share_options', function( $options ) {
  $options[] = [ 'value' => 'xing', 'label' => 'Xing' ]; 
  return $options;
});

add_filter( 'cs_social_share_atts', function( $atts, $type, $title ) {

  if ($type === 'xing') {
    
    // Update the URL
    $atts['href'] = '#share-on-xing';

    // Or add a click handler
    $atts['onclick'] = 'window.open'
  }

  return $atts;
}, 10, 3);

Again, regretfully I can’t fully build it out so the above doesn’t really do anything. However, this will get you to the point where you can choose Xing as an option and have a place in the code where you can set the button href or the button onclick handler. If you’re up for a bit of custom PHP code you might be able to download one of the plugins Tristup linked and follow whatever pattern they use to generate the share button.
