Buttons on Archives/Main Page

    I used the shortcode to add the buttons at the bottom of my post, so they’ll also show up in the archives under each post. This way the buttons display with the posts when they are displayed on my main page. Unfortunately, when you click on one of the buttons, it points people to the main page instead of to the post it was displayed on. Is there any way to change this behavior? Someone who clicked on those buttons would be wanting to share that particular post.

    nyhc99,

    I am sorry that you are experiencing some difficulty with OSD SMS. I have some initial thoughts on this. The way the plugin works is it takes a data attributes off of the icon link and uses them to build out the right linking, images, preview text, etc. Can you validate the the data-url attribute looks correct on your page and that there are no blocking JavaScript errors. IE..

    If you could send a link to the page in question that would help us troubleshoot your issue.

    The front page displays the archives and is set to only show the newest post. the osd-sms-link is populating with the address of my main page instead of the address of the post

    Ah yes, I see what is happening here. OSD SMS shares the page you are viewing. In this case it is sharing your homepage because that is the actual page being viewed. If you know some JS or PHP you could work around this issue, possibly, on the homepage now that you know how the plugin linking works off of the data-url.

    If you are wanting a custom add-on to our plugin to allow an exception for this kind of usage we don’t have time to add it right this moment, but if you do write one up we can add it into a release.

    apologies that the answer, most likely, is not what you are looking for

    Well I was able to alter your php code fairly easily to do what I want it to do. I noticed in your OSDSocialShare class that the defaults were all using {{CURRENT_URL}}. I changed that to {{P_URL}} and threw that into your searches/replacements to replace to rawurlencode(get_permalink()) which provides the URL of the post (note that I could have just used {{EMAIL_BODY}} which you already translate to rawurlencode(get_permalink()) but that would be too ugly.)

    I wish I could contribute more in the way of an addon to make this an option that can be changed in the administration panel, but my knowledge of the workings of wordpress is limited so for now I will make do with this hack. Sorry I can’t be of more help to you.

    Anyway thanks for taking a look at the issue.
