Sharing via Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google Plus

Question

I would like a section where users can share a certain link on different social media platforms from our app. I have the twitter link working properly but Facebook, LinkedIn, and G+ are only sharing the URL and not a custom message.

Twitter

a.twitter-share-button href="http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?source=sharethiscom&text=BlahBlahBlah&url=http://#{Figs.ms.url}/#{@app.uuid}" target="_blank"

Facebook

a.fb-share-button href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://#{Figs.ms.url}/#{@app.uuid}&t=BlahBlahBlah target="_blank"

LinkedIn

a.linkedin-share-button href="https://www.linkedin.com/cws/share?url=http://#{Figs.ms.url}/#{@app.uuid}&summary=BlahBlahBlah” target="_blank"

G+

a.gplus-share-button href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=http://#{Figs.ms.url}/#{@app.uuid}" target="_blank"

I'd like the custom message to be BlahBlahBlah so when they click any of these links it would fill out the custom message and include the link.

Answer 1

The current page url is (request.original_url )

1. For Facebook you can do the following, For more details check the docs for more details:

%a.fb-share-button{:href => " https://www.facebook.com/dialog/share?app_id=# {APP_ID}&display=popup&href=#{URL_TO_SHARE}&redirect_uri=#{request.original_url}", role: "menuitem", tabindex: "-1", target: "_blank"}

You can customize the page title, description, previewed photo by addting them to the URL_TO_SHARE meta tags. Check Open Graph Object Meta Tags for more details.

%meta{:content => "1234567890", :property => "fb:app_id"}/
%meta{:content => "http://samples.ogp.me/136756249803614", :property => "og:url"}/
%meta{:content => "Chocolate Pecan Pie", :property => "og:title"}/
%meta{:content => "https://fbcdn-dragon-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/t39.2178-6/851565_496755187057665_544240989_n.jpg", :property => "og:image"}/

2. For Linkedin

%a{:href => " http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=# {URL_TO_SHARE}&title=#{TILTE}&summary=#{SUMMARY}&source=www.YOUR_DOMAIN.com", role: "menuitem", tabindex: "-1", target: "_blank"}
