Sharing individual blog posts by social media plugin
Hi,
I've installed and have running a social media share panel on by blog as follows:
https://www.colconquerors.com/blog/post.php?s=2014-10-28-nutrition-for-hot-weather
Each of the list items for each social media channel is as follows but how would I go about making the link share the perch specific blog post? I'm not sure what I need to do to the <a> element.
Help appreciated.
Cheers
Rob

What does the documentation for the sharing widget say?
To be honest Drew I have looked at that but am confused as how I pass the Perch generated URL to it for example:
https://www.colconquerors.com/blog/post.php?s=2014-10-28-nutrition-for-hot-weather
I have checked the docs for the widget but can only see how I would pass a static link not a dynamic one to it...
Driven me mad for a fair while today this has so really appreciate the help. I'm nearly done after this I promise!!

Many thanks

Should mention that it seems to be a different string for the Twitter and Facebook links also and not sure why or if this makes a difference.
I can use the decoder mentioned in the instructions to turn a link to this:
http%3A%2F%2Fwww.colconquerors.com%2Fblog%2Fpost.php%3Fs%3D2014-10-28-nutrition-for-hot-weather
but then if I use this in the code it will always go here and not the the specific pages being viewed by my guests.
Right - so how would you pass the static link? Then we can make it dynamic - that's the Perch bit.
Well I think for Twitter it's now this in the example link:
and I think I would change it to this:
but am then not sure how to add the bit that would make it dynamic for each blog post
Hi Drew,
This seems to do it :-)
Look good to you?
Cheers

Sure, looks fine.
You might want to add
urlencode="true"to the tags to make them URL-safe.Hi Drew,
Thanks for the advice. Would this be as follow?
got it...
cheers
