Facebook share blog post button

Hi,

I'm keen to have a share button for a specific blog post both from the news page which lists 10 recent posts and also from the post page.

Can you shed any light on how to do this?

Using a template I tried this:

<div class="fb-share-button" 
data-href="https://stanmore.menczykowski.co.uk/news/news-post.php?s=<perch:blog id="postSlug" type="text" />"></div>

But the URL did not work.

Similar to implementing a like button (I searched for "Facebook" in the docs)

Thanks,

However the like button does not get the full current URL. It gets:

data-href="https://stanmore.menczykowski.co.uk/news/news-post.php?s="

What comes after the ?s= - the slug - is crucial to make the URL work.

What is now in your template?

Simply:

<div class="fb-like" data-send="true" data-width="450" data-show-faces="true"></div>

The current page url example for a post would be:

That looks more like a Facebook issue than a Perch one. In that page we also detail how you can set the specific URL you want.
