facebook post to wall

Hello,

I am new to modx and not sure how to do this? I able to post to my facebook account via JavaScript from my site. I would like to know if I can embed the JavaScript code to do this into modx. Specifically I would like to add this when you are on a page that you are editing, I would like to know if there is a way I can just add some code (like a TV, I guess?) to have it show up in pages. Then the user would click this button and it would then post to their facebook account?

I am aware I could make a plugin and then have it post through onpublish feature but I am wondering if there is a way I can add a button directly into the page.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Bart

You can use a plugin with the events OnDocFormPrerender and/or OnDocFormRender to inject HTML into the manager UI for creating/editing a Resource, then add processing to OnBeforeDocFormSave and/or OnDocFormSave.

Ok thank you for the response. I will give that a try and let you know how it goes?

I am not quite sure where to start on injecting html into the manager. Any tips, examples or pointers where I can look would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks you,
Bart

You can use a chunk to write a code
and call that chunk in your template

In my site, I use code from http://addthis.com, to share on facebook wall
there’s a lot of widget code for social network such as facebook, twitter and they have code for share on digg, etc
