Share button

[Phyks]

Some ideas for the share button:

• Share with Facebook / Twitter / Shaarli / Diaspora* / Status.net
• If shared with Shaarli or Diaspora*, offer to import the tags

Actually, even facebook handle tags (twitter too, but it's obvious). So maybe we could set one option in settings for sharing or not the tags, and don't check/uncheck this every time ?

[Phyks]

Yes, indeed ! My bad, I don't know Facebook at all, and barely know Twitter.

@tmos: I'm working on it. I thought about something like this (bottom of each article, remember to close Adblock) to show the share options (a small dropdown menu with icons for every supported service). What do you think ?

EDIT: Cf https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15857952/how-to-create-a-simple-social-sharing-dropdown-menu-in-css-html.

@tmos: Implemented it in the backend. You have a function get_sharing_options that you can call to retrieve the list of sharing options to all.

It returns an array of sharing options. Each sharing option is represented by the following array:

{"type": twitter | facebook | shaarli | diaspora, "url": URL}

where type is either twitter, facebook, shaarli or diaspora and url should be the base url of the sharing option API, meaning that {$sharing_option['url']}{$entry_url} should be the full URL to put on the button.

Feel free to ask if it's not clear.

I made a first try here :

But it doesn't work… Could you exlpain me my errors Dr RainTPL ?

@tmos : I fixed the code for the template in bc62cd9.

Note that the link URL is not valid for now, due to a known bug in RainTPL rewriting (issue #44). We'll be fixed soon I think.

Thanks :)

I added a style to sharing links but I'm not fully convinced…
I will have a modal box spawn when no link has been set.

We may do as discused in #40 and let an html form already made in the modal box, and just add the article adress at the good places then show the modalbox at the click.
