[Plugin: Simple Social – Sharing Widgets & Icons Updated] feature suggestion for simple social

Hi fabiancz, thanks for this gr8 plugin.
I have tried to change the location of this plugin from “just after post-content” to just after “wp_link_pages” div tag.
but i failed miserably. Could you please help me out?
I have my post divided in several pages, and I want to show this plugin after the page-links div bar.

Why are small icons are not displayed? And is it normal to have a slow pace on our pages since installing the new plugin?
Thank’s for help.

And when we click on tweet button, the link is ok but title link do not appear correctly, example :

(title link)
the+suggestion+are+good+%C2%AB+for+us+%C2%BB

Why that bugs in the new version?

Can you fixed it too?

Thank you

@sunny29

To fix the title encoding in the simple-social.php file in the plugin folder on line 14 change this line:

$simplesocial_title = urlencode(get_the_title($post->ID));

to:

$simplesocial_title = get_the_title($post->ID);

Hi,

thank you for bugreports:)

rebeccacotu: I think it’s many services to choose from – 14:). But if you miss some service, you can send me a link and I’ll try to add it.

syed544: I’m not experienced WP admin, so I haven’t any WP web with post on multiple pages. Can you help me how can I set my test WP page like yours and improve this plugin to show only after “”wp_link_pages”. Thanks!

Sunny29: You installed plugin and icons of services aren’t displayed? Did you copy both img_16 and img_32 folders to your plugins/simple-social-sharing-widgets-icons-updated/ directory?
And yes: this plugin may slow your site, because they load some javascripts from facebook, twitter or google, which can take a while (in the dependence of mentioned services).

The little bug with encoded title in twitter plugin will be fixed in version 0.3.6 (which I’m currently uploading).

Thank you for using this plugin:)

Hi,
just wondering if this can be embedded within a post and not just after the post?

Hi, I just uploaded the plug-in to my blog site however it doesn’t seem to be working. Uploaded it to the correct location in my directory, I see it in my blog admin plugin setting page, and I have activated it. But when I go to the settings, I see broken links for the icons and I do not see it on my website.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks for any suggestions in advance!

tekkie08: did you copied img/, icon_16/ and icon_32/ dir?

Hi Fabian,

Any way I can have the twiitter share button use the default shortened URL for my post?

Also, I was able to make my twitter name auto-populate with the URL so it would say “via @GQtrippin” after the link. However I need to add a space between the URL and the ‘via @GQtrippin”. How can I add that blank space?

Hi Fabian,

Yes, all image files ( img/, icon/ and icon32/) are all uploaded to the ../wp-content/simple-social-sharing-widgets-icons-updated directory.

It sees the images there but with broken image posts. In addition when activated, all posts do not have the social tags at the bottom.

Thanks again for responding so quickly.

I was able to fix the spacing issue. Would still like to know about the shortlink capability and the ability to have the post title be automatically included with the link when users try to share through the twitter button.
