Social Sharing Integration on Front Page

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 13

Hi. I have been trying to integrate sexy bookmarks and/or jetpack sharing functionality on the front page. What I need is to have a FB and Twitter sharing buttons, with share count, on the front page, below each “article preview” on the article list (e.g. next to the “read more” button but aligned to the right). I would like these buttons to link to each article separately. The problem is that all I can do, is insert these two share buttons above the article list, but they link to the whole index page (home page).

Do you have any tips on how to integrate these social sharing buttons without modifying the code in individual php files? I have seen tutorials on how to add these buttons manually, but I want to leave the core files intact. Are you planning an update of newspaper with such functionality?

Thanks

Hi,

We do not plan any changes on this at this moment and we have to be very careful what we implement as we have over 160 feature requests, if more people request for this we will consider about it.
You can follow the tread below as I have posted there a method on how to do this there and you can always get a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ if you don’t know how to do it yourself.
