thanks.tpl facebook share

V 4.1.10 Developer

Hi,

I have modified my thanks.tpl page with certain options that will direct the customer to various pages on my site once they have finished posting an ad. I have a "Share" (addtoany) button integrated on each individual ad (viewlistings2) so anyone can share the ad they see on Facebook, Twitter or whatever Social Site they are associate with. Is there a simple block of code that would allow the user to immediately Share their own ad on their Facebook etc. from the thanks.tpl? Even just Facebook would be fine if it's too big of a problem.

Any direction would be helpful! Thank you!

where to get the listing ID?

Thanks Mike for the direction. I have put this in place now, but I am not entirely sure where to drag the listing URL from. I could use the same URL to post at the bottom so customers could view their own listing right after they post it.

I tried

Code:

http://www.pickyourownpet.com/classifieds/viewlisting.php?view={$listingid}

but this did not seem to work. I am messing around with a few other things, but to no avail... I do appreciate you constant help, and I hate to be a burden. But again, I thank you.

i had the same problem, the listing id number is not on the tanks.tpl so you would have to modify the php code to show it.

Nick,

Did you ever modify it in a way that it would work? Could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Nah i never ended up doing it, might have a look at it when i get a chance.
Cheers,
Nick

Howto: Facebook sharer

I'm using this code:

Code:

 <span class="facebook">
{literal}
<script>function fbs_click() {u=location.href;t=document.title;window.open('http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u='+encodeURIComponent(u)+'&t='+encodeURIComponent(t),'sharer','toolbar=0,status=0,width=626,height=436');return false;}</script>
{/literal}
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php" onclick="{literal}return fbs_click(){/literal}" target="_blank">Send to Facebook</a>
</span>

And this rock's

Hope this helps you, and others.

You are right. Maybe he should place "share" link on the listing page, so all users can post it to facebook also .

I figured out a way to make this happen!

I used the feature_listings_horizontal plugin on the Thanks.tpl. It is as follows:

Code:

{css_listings_horizontal number=1 cols="1" show_price = "N" lfilter="on" truncate = "Y" truncate_end = "25" truncate_suffix = '...' type="new" align="center"}

This will display their Ad they Just Posted! I put a message above it that encourages them to go to their ad and "Like" it or share it with their friends on Facebook!

Thanks for all your help! I hope this will help someone in the future!
