Facebook share button current URL

Question

I want to add a share button to my website but notice I have two similar options:

1. Share button
2. Share dialog

Are they different and how could I show a share button for the dialog option?

Also, for the button code it says HTML5/data-href "defaults to the current URL" which I want, so would I simply delete data-href from the button code or just leave the URL empty?

Answer 1

Share Button

Social Plugin that comes with a predefined button, you cannot change the appearance. Simple to include.

Share Dialog

Use your own button/link/whatever and call FB.ui to open the Dialog.
