octopress-share-numbers

Set social buttons and get share numbers.

Available social buttons are:

• Hatena Bookmark
• Twitter
• Google+
• Facebook
• Pocket
• LinkedIn
• Pinterest
• Buffer (not in sharing.html)
• Delicious (currently count is not available)
• Tumblr (Only button w/o cound)

Requirement

To use active mode with JavaScript, please install rcmdnk/jekyll-var-to-js, too.

Update 17/Dec/2015:

Twitter's API is no longer available. In octopress-share-number, currently count.jsoon is used instead of Twitter's API.

To enable count.jsoon, please register your URL from here, then counts will be available in a few days.

Installation

There are three methods:

• Official API for buttons.
  • Copy source/_includes/post/sharing.html (extended sharing buttons file of Octopress) to your source/_includes/post/.
• Custom buttons, getting numbers actively by JavaScript.
  • Copy source/_includes/post/sharing_custom.html. to your source/_includes/post/.
  • Copy source/javascripts/share-custom.js to your soruce/javascripts/.
• Custom buttons, getting numbers statically by the plugin.
  • Copy source/_includes/post/sharing_custom.html. to your source/_includes/post/.
  • Copy source/facebook_shares.html. to your source/facebook_shares.html.
  • Copy plugins/share-numbers.rb to your plugins.

Copy sass/plugins/_share-numbers.scss to you sass/plugins/.

Usage

Put share-custom.js in source/_includes/head.html, after jQuery (share-custom.js uses jQuery):

{% unless site.share_static %}<script src="{{root_url}}/javascripts/compressed/share-custom.js"></script>{% endunless %}

Put sharing_custom.html in such source/_layouts/post.html, like:

 </p>
 {% unless page.sharing == false %}
+{% unless site.share_official == false %}
   {% include post/sharing.html %}
 {% endunless %}
+{% if site.share_custom == true %}
+{% include post/sharing_custom.html %}
+{% endif %}
+{% endunless %}
 <p class="meta">

And set your configuration in _config.yml:

# CPUs for parallel jobs
n_cores: 4

# Choose method
share_official: false
share_custom: true
share_static: true
share_check_all: false

# Select shares
hatebu_button: true
twitter_button: true
facebook_button: true
pocket_button: true
linkedin_button: false
pinterest_button: false
buffer_button: false
delicious_button: false
tumblr_button: false
# share_all: true # to enable all

# jekyll-var
jekyll_var:
  include:
    - hatebu_button
    - twitter_button
    - facebook_button
    - pocket_button
    - linkedin_button
    - pinterest_button
    - buffer_button
    - delicious_button
    - share_check_all

First, choose method:

• Official API for buttons.
  • Set share_official: true.
  • Set share_custom: false.
• Custom buttons, getting numbers actively by JavaScript.
  • Set share_official: false.
  • Set share_custom: true.
  • Set share_static: false.
• Custom buttons, getting numbers statically by the plugin.
  • Set share_official: false.
  • Set share_custom: true.
  • Set share_static: true.

If share_check_all is enabled, the plugin gets numbers for all shares and store to the memory. But only buttons which are enabled are shown in sharing_custom.html. (Useful if you want to use in other places.)

If you want to show all buttons, use share_all: true.

n_cores is used in the plugin, to decide how many threads should run.
