Is anyone else noticing problems with Facebook share? It seems that it is not working properly. I keep getting the message Page not found when I try to make a post on Facebook. Linkedin and Twitter are working perfectly.
Hello, I followed your amazing tutorial and Iām almost there. I inspired myself also from another tutorial to create social share buttons with some code.
Ii have a petitions website and each petition is a CMS item (like a blog post). So when people read the petition, they can sign it which redirects them to a new page (where they can pay). If they donāt want to pay, they can just click on āi want to shareā which redirects them to a new static page.
The only thing is that I would like to create buttons that share first page (CMS item or blog post #1).
Here is the code that I currently have:
<!-- Facebook -->
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=[your URL path/{slug variable}]"
class=""
title="Share on Facebook"
target="_blank"
onclick="window.open('https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=' + encodeURIComponent(document.URL) + '&t=' + encodeURIComponent(document.URL),'','width=600,height=800'); return false;">
Share on Facebook</a>
How do I manage to make the sharable page another page than the page the visitor is on?
Find below my read-only link of the blog post (or petition), which is the URL that needs to be shared on social media:
This is the read only link for the page where the social share buttons will appear (and also the embed code):
https://preview.webflow.com/preview/premiere-ligne-ce4919?utm_medium=preview_link&utm_source=designer&utm_content=premiere-ligne-ce4919&preview=7e9ce6cbe0c3e02ab04a9c46b11ea70f&pageId=633d7573a9d6ff1ae0f6c2f3&workflow=preview
There is also another issue, when I tried to replace ādocument.URLā, it stopped opening the window in a pop up window. It opened a new tab which I donāt want. Would be great if that keeps the same properties too.
Thanks a lot
mod-edit: added closing to code block
Helloā¦
I could really use some help with this! I have tried to follow the instructions over and over and I canāt get the share function to work. I donāt have a clue as to what Iām doing incorrectly.
Here is a read-only link to a blog post with the social share buttons.
Here is the published staging site.
Thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to help!
UPDATE: I finally got my buttons to work. The only question I have now is: When you share via email, the title of the blog post is the subject line and the link to it is in the body of the email. Is that all? Or is there a way for it to pull content with OG settings like it does for LinkedIn and Facebook?
Buenas a todos, por favor si me pueden ayudar con una duda, por que cuando comparto en linkedin un articulo de mi pagina, no sale la previa, es decir, imagen con titulo, sino el nombre de la pagina principal, esto pasa con algunos no todos, ya otros articulos si comparte bien, estoy utilizando el codigo. Gracias de antemano.
Can u please provide this code for instagram also.
Iām not sure why webflow hasnāt built this sharing option natively till now. but come across this simple solution that might be just what youāre looking for. Blog Social Media Share Buttons by Pixeto - Webflow
The solution I have involves using attributes, making it easy to implement even for those without extensive coding knowledge. If youāre interested, You can check it out here:
