rated 0 times [ 92] [ 5] / answers: 1 / hits: 67961 / 11 Years ago, sun, january 19, 2014, 12:00:00

I have a dynamic page with rewrited url. I want to add a facebook share button in that. So users click on the share button can share the page. But the facebook share developer page is asking for a specific url. Not sure how to share dynamically generated url.

Here some code i found to capture the url. But I dont know, how to include this in facebook code.

jQuery(document).ready(function() {

    var href = jQuery(location).attr('href');

    var url = jQuery(this).attr('title');

    jQuery('#current_title').html(href);

    jQuery('#current_url').html(url);

});

HTML Part of the Facebook Share Button

<div class=fb-share-button data-href=http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/ data-type=button></div>

Kindly help

Many Thanks

This worked for me:

<script language=javascript>

    function fbshareCurrentPage()

    {window.open(https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href)+&t=+document.title, '', 

    'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=300,width=600');

    return false; }

</script>

Then call the code with a link:

<a href=javascript:fbshareCurrentPage() target=_blank alt=Share on Facebook>Facebook</a>

If you want it to be a direct link instead of opening in a window, use this in the function:

window.location.href=https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href)+&t=+document.title;

Possible jquery solution:

<a class=fbsharelink data-shareurl=YOURLINK>Facebook</a>



$('.fbsharelink').click( function() 

{

    var shareurl = $(this).data('shareurl');

    window.open('https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u='+escape(shareurl)+'&t='+document.title, '', 

    'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=300,width=600');

    return false;

});
