Use pop Up instead of blank page

Hello,

I would like to add the same question. It is quite inconvenient to have the social networks open in a new window because people will most probably never come back to the site. It would be great if you provide us with the required code.

Thanks!

P.S. Awesome plugin!

Hello i found a solution. maybe you will implement it in the plugin.

i will give an example for facebook. so anybody cann use this to create pop up’s for the other share buttons.

1: go to plugins/editor
2: choose Simple Share buttons Adder
3: select simple-share-buttons-adder.php
4: search for facebook.com till you find this code

$htmlShareButtons .= '<a id="ssba_facebook_share" href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=' . $urlCurrentPage . '" ' . //($arrSettings['ssba_share_new_window'] == 'Y' ? 'target="_blank"' : NULL) . '>';

5: replace it with the folowing code

$htmlShareButtons .= '<a id="ssba_facebook_share" href=\'javascript:PopUp("https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=' . $urlCurrentPage . '")\'>';

6: enjoy!

Hey shyne23,

thank you for your feedback! I added the code as you said but it didn’t work. I have no idea about php so I might be missing something.

Thanks!

Hey Siskoto,

sorry i miss one point.

you have to add the following code to your header.php (before head)

<script language=”JavaScript”>
<!–
function PopUp(URL) {
window.open(URL, ‘Windowname’, ‘width=450, height=300, toolbar=0, scrollbars=1 ,location=0 ,statusbar=0,menubar=0, resizable=0’);
}
//–>
</script>

Awesome! You made my life so much better! Thanks!
Is there anything special in the pinterest share link?

Hey,

Pinterest already use a iframe. It looks like a new page, but its a Javascrip, you can select the image to pin. After selecting a picture anoter popup will appear and the other window will dissapear.

I look for a solution. Maybe you like this one more!

$htmlShareButtons .= '<a id="ssba_pinterest_share" href=\'javascript:PopUp("https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url='. $urlCurrentPage . '&media='.wp_get_attachment_url(get_post_thumbnail_id()).'&description='.get_the_title().'")\'>';

with this code you can only post one fixed picture.

Enjoy!

Well, this one did not actually work. I will stick with the standard option given in the plugin. Thanks again for all your help!

Did you replace the original code with the new one ?

yes, I did but it opened the pinterest sharing page and nothing in it. You can see it here:

Okay, you didnt get the attachment_url. Please look if there ist a wp_get_attachment_url function in your post.php

I don’t have post.php file but page.php and here is the code:

<?php get_header(); ?>

		<?php get_template_part( 'element', 'getslider' ); ?>

		<?php get_template_part( 'element', 'pagecaption' ); ?>

			<!-- THE POST LOOP -->
			<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>	

				<?php if(get_custom_field('hide_title') == 'Yes') : else : ?>
				<h2 class="title"><span><?php the_title(); ?></span></h2>
				<hr />
				<?php endif; ?>

				<!-- FEATURED IMAGE (optional) -->
				<?php if(get_option_tree('show_featured_image') == 'Yes') : ?>
						<?php if (has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID )) 	{
						$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'full' ); ?>
						<a class="featured-image-insert" href="<?php echo $image[0]; ?>" data-rel="prettyPhoto">
							<img class="aligncenter" src="<?php echo $image[0]; ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
						</a>
					<br class="clearfix" />
					<?php } else {} ?>
				<?php endif; ?>

				<?php the_content(); ?>

				<br class="clearfix" />
				<!--<hr />-->

				<?php wp_link_pages('before=<br /><div id="page-links"><span>Pages:</span>&after=</div><hr />&link_before=<div>&link_after=</div>'); ?>

			<?php endwhile; ?>			

<?php get_footer(); ?>

@wpyogi

sorry about that

I found the problem. My code doesn’t work with the nextgen gallery because it looks for attached images of a post. i am sorry but you have to use the default function of the ssba plugin.
