Add social share icons to single posts within GeneratePress Theme

== Description ==

This plugin uses hooks append social share icons to your content.

It uses the if_single() WordPress hook to ensure only fires on all single posts or the included WooCommerce hooks.

Configured shared content:

Image = post featured Image - full url
Title = post title
Content = the first 40 words of the content
URL = the post permalink

== Social Media Channels ==
These are the social channels currently supported by the plugin
* Facebook
* Twitter
* Pinterest
* LinkedIn
* WhatsApp
* Email

== Installation ==

Ensure GeneratePress is your current active theme


1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/plugin-name` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress
1. Use the Appearance->GP Social Share screen to add your own SVG code for the icons and choose your hook placement

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Can I use outside of hooks =

You can use the following shortcode
	[gp-social]

= Nothing happens when I activate the plugin =

Ensure you have the GeneratePress Theme active.

= Do I have to use the premium version of the GeneratePress Theme? =

No. This plugin works with the theme and does not require the premium plugin.

= What if the hook I want to use isnt in the option, want it in multiple locations or want to apply some condtional logic? =

You can use the following action to display the social share options whenever/wherever you like, just change out the_hook_you_require for the one you want to use

	add_action( 'the_hook_you_require','add_social_icons' );


= Can I display the amount of times my post has been shared? =

No. This plugin does not use any API's or receive any data from the shared content. It is intentionally built to be light weight.

= Can I change the default links? =

Yes. All the social media links are customisable with their own function.
* Facebook = gp_social_facebook_link
* Twitter = gp_social_twitter_link
* Google+ = gp_social_google_link
* Pinterest = gp_social_pinterest_link
* LinkedIn = gp_social_linkedin_link
* WhatsApp = gp_social_whatsapp_link

an example would look like this

	function gp_social_twitter_link() {

		$title = get_the_title();
		$url = urlencode( get_permalink() );

		$icon = '<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="48" height="48" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M12 0c-6.627 0-12 5.373-12 12s5.373 12 12 12 12-5.373 12-12-5.373-12-12-12zm6.066 9.645c.183 4.04-2.83 8.544-8.164 8.544-1.622 0-3.131-.476-4.402-1.291 1.524.18 3.045-.244 4.252-1.189-1.256-.023-2.317-.854-2.684-1.995.451.086.895.061 1.298-.049-1.381-.278-2.335-1.522-2.304-2.853.388.215.83.344 1.301.359-1.279-.855-1.641-2.544-.889-3.835 1.416 1.738 3.533 2.881 5.92 3.001-.419-1.796.944-3.527 2.799-3.527.825 0 1.572.349 2.096.907.654-.128 1.27-.368 1.824-.697-.215.671-.67 1.233-1.263 1.589.581-.07 1.135-.224 1.649-.453-.384.578-.87 1.084-1.433 1.489z"/></svg>';
		$link = '<a href="https://twitter.com/share?url=' . $url . '&text=' . $title . '" class="tw-share" title="' . __( 'Tweet this post!', 'gp-social' ) . '">' . $icon . '</a>';
		
		return $link;
	}

= Can I change the email body? =

Yes. Just add a function called gp_social_email_body which returns your body content.

= Can I use the media uploader to upload SVG icons? =

No. WordPress has SVG disabled by default due to potential security issues, the decision was made to support this and stick to inline SVG code.
