I want to have a FB Share button on my site, so users can share
my site’s link on their Wall. I don’t want them to like me or recommend things on my FB page, nor do I want to display an Activity Feed.
Why no Share Button? Am I missing something?
Thanks Much

You might want to check out adding a “Share This” button…more than just Facebook…and easy to implement,

I believe you can also add a link to your own image or text and allow the site visitor to share in this way.
I use this link on my sons website:
Just apply it as you would any external link to text or a graphic and your sharing on FB!

Thanks Much Alan, that 's great. That FB Share page seems to come up only when you click the FB button on his site. Did your son use “ShareThis”? for the buttons?

Thanks Much Rich… Clearly that’s what I was missing. Great.
Haven’t tried it yet, but just curious: When adding a ‘Share This’ to my site, will I just use ‘HTML markup’?
Thx!

The link does not embed an image, just the path - if that makes sense, so there is an image on the page with the share link applied to it.
You can make or acquire Facebook and other social icons quite easily. Just add them as a graphic item and apply the link.
I hope that answers your question - if not, try me again and we’ll see if i do better the next time around.
Nope - didn’t use ‘ShareThis’ but you certainly could if you prefer.

I’m a bit confused. The images on your son’s site don’t have any links. But you’re saying I should acquire the FB graphic and then attach a link to that? But how do I generate the link text? I.E., attach a link, but what link?
Thx ML

How do I implement ‘Share This’ on my FW site? Part of the code goes in the head, and part in the layout.
Thanks Much for your help.

Ok, so perhaps the example i gave wasn’t the best as the link is applied via CSS menus but the principle is the same.
So, Whatever you want the visitor to click - ie the method of sharing - needs to have a link applied to it so it does the share stuff.
Lets take a graphic image example. Add a graphic item on your page where you want the link to be → Add your image to the box [cmd + e] and select → whilst the box is still selected with the little handles showing, at the bottom of the Freeway window you will see the link selector which should say ‘No Link’ → click on it to open and select External → then select Other which open the edit hyperlink window → in the Protocol drop down choose ‘http:’ → now you can add the link url.
Replace or edit the default text URL to read http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmywebsite.co.uk - substituting mywebsite.co.uk with your own domain name. Do not change the %3A%2F%2F as this is the :// bit.
Click OK → link has been applied
Publish or preview in browser to test.
You can do similar stuff with Twitter etc…,
Hope this helps.

Mark,
It’s been a while since I used the Share This button…but I think they provided two batches of code…one batch of code can be placed in a Mark Up HTML item. The other batch of code is placed somewhere in between the tags of the page. To do this in Freeway, to to the Page Menu, then select HTML Markup Item…the paste the coded there.
If I get some time today, I will go back and see how good my memory is.

There’s a Share This Action bundled with Freeway that doesn’t require any of that hand-coding.

Of course Walter always makes things easier…
Go to the Insert Menu, then select Action Item then click AddThis Button…then fiddle with the settings.

I went the the Share this site, got a beautiful bar with icons, but when I click on the icons, it does not share the website url:
twitter:
Aging and Longevity http://shar.es/tPqM5 via @sharethis
facebook:
http://shar.es/tP5o0
http://shar.es/file:
linkedin:
Aging and Longevity
no url is posted on linked in, just the name of the site.
How can I correct this? I really like the look of the buttons bar.

I switched my approach after reading Alan Herbert’s approach about the facebook external link on a graphic- which relieved me when it worked for facebook! but it does not work for twitter and linkedin. Does anyone know the links that work for them?

Freeway - please create an action that we can apply, it seems crazy that it isnt already a standard action?
