Share text on Facebook

Question

I’m trying to share the text of my web to Facebook, I’m using the Addthis to create social media buttons. He gives me this:

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style">
    <a class="addthis_button_preferred_1" addthis:url="http://www.planow.com.br/jrgrill/dicas.php?id='.$id.'" style="width:29px"></a>
    <a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"style="width:29px"></a>
    <a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"style="width:29px"></a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true};</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-5329d2273cb2c738"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->

I’m trying to pass the content by parameters, but I can’t. How should I proceed?

Answer 1

To pass parameters or even set a specific URL, you have three ways to do it:

• Enter the parameter for the Addthis in wrapper:

  <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style"
       addthis:url="http://www.planow.com.br/jrgrill/dicas.php?id=1">
      <!-- ... -->
  </div>
  

  ^{You had added the parameter to the link, but it must be in div containing the links.}

• In the settings, you indicate the desired URL:

  <script type="text/javascript">
    var addthis_config = {
      url: "http://www.planow.com.br/jrgrill/dicas.php?id=1"
    };
  </script>
  

• You use the setAttribute() to define the attribute addthis:url with the URL you want to use:

  <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style" id="minhaWrapper">
    <!-- ... -->
  </div>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    var addThisWrapper = document.getElementById("minhaWrapper");
    var meuURL = "http://www.planow.com.br/jrgrill/dicas.php?id=1";
    addThisWrapper.setAttribute("addthis:url", meuURL);
  </script>
  

Any such method may be used to indicate to the Addthis which URL and its parameters we intend to use.

Answer 2

An alternative is the quote plugin that allows people to select texts on their page and attach them to their shares, to tell a more interesting story. To use this plugin it is not necessary to implement the Facebook login or request other permissions through the application review.
