How to create a custom facebook sharing icon? Then a custom twitter sharing icon? Then a pinterest one?

Ceety Mar 14, 2015 7:14 AM

Hello,

My question is quite simple :

I've created a page on my website and I would like that people can share the content of the page (which is a picture) on facebook, twitter and pinterest. I've created my own 3 social icones ready to use. Now, I need to know how can I apply the sharing function to these icons?

I don't want to use any specific widget because you cannot customize your own icon for example, I would like to learn how to do it by myself on my website. I guess I need to code something but as a beginner, I don't know how to do that. I've visited the facebook developer page but they only purpose solutions with their own social icons. So if anyone can give me some tips, I really appreciate.

Hi,

You need to hyperlink your icons, I am adding few codes which might be helpful, use them in hyperlink,

Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=[URL]&title=[TITLE]
Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?media=[MEDIA]&url=[URL]&is_video=false&descri ption=[TITLE]
Twitter: http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?status=[TITLE]+[URL]
Google+: https://plus.google.com/share?url=[URL]

Facebook has changed this method, so if the above code doesnot work, please refer to their official documentation JavaScript SDK as explained here php - custom facebook share button - Stack Overflow

Do let me know if you have any question.
