Hi,
I've added some social media links generated by ShareThis.com and I'm having a couple of strange problems.
First, I guess the basic question is the ShareThis linking good to use at all?
Second, tag replacement doesn't seem to work properly. I started by adding
<span class='st_facebook' st_url="[[~[[*id]]]]"></span>
but for some reason when the page is rendered the st_url value just comes out as index.php?id=7 (for example) - i.e. it's missing the root url. Note, I've put this span in a chunk which I called on the template.
Third, if anyone reading this has any experience with the ShareThis linking could you tell me how to get the facebook link to include the content I specify - even putting it in og meta-data tags won't do it.
Thanks in advance.
1) yes we use the sharethis on our website, its fine, no configuration at all on the modx side as its all front end code.
2) [[~[[*id]]]] should produce the site_url, if not check site_url in config file. or try to output [[++site_url]] if nothing is shown then you know that the config variable site_url is not set correctly.
I've used [[++site_url]][[~[[*id]]]] as that's the only way I can get the full url to come out.
But at least it show's that [[++site_url]] is correct.
