Implemented Add Facebook Recommend and Twitter buttons to Pages

[Paul B]

I'm going to be making extensive use of Pages on my site with some content which is a big draw.

Unfortunately there's currently no way to share that content as the FB and Twitter buttons aren't present in the Page template.

It would be nice if this functionality was included, either by default or ideally as an option per page.

What would be great is functionality similar to the sidebar without the visitor panel, or even a simple <xen:shareButtons></xen:shareButtons> so the buttons can be added as part of the page content HTML

I was wondering whether anyone had tried adding either of the share page templates to a Page and if it works?

Unfortunately I don't have a working installation so can't test it.

I haven't upgraded my test board since Beta 5, but will upgrade it if you want to use it.

 

[Paul B]

That would be great Peggy

I'm just curious as to whether adding the share page template will allow Pages to be tweeted and recommended.

 

[Peggy]

Ok I'll do the upgrade now and let you know when it's ready.

 

[Peggy]

And the pages you made are still on there too.

I guess this can be marked as resolved as simply adding the share page template(s) does the job

If you want the buttons at the bottom of the page, use:
<xen:include template="share_page"/>

If you want them in the sidebar, use:
<xen:sidebar>
<xen:include template="sidebar_share_page" />
</xen:sidebar>
