Hi , i am trying to use one of the social sharing plugin shortcode.

What aproach should i take ?
sample codes :

[et_social_follow icon_style="flip" icon_shape="rounded" icons_location="top" col_number="auto" counts="true" counts_num="0" total="true" outer_color="dark" network_names="true"]

i read the docs but it cover only for views.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Toolset support. Please insert shortcode in Content Template and then insert that Content Template within Layout:

HI Noman,

this is the instruction given

** Your generated shortcode is
[easy-social-share buttons="facebook,twitter,google,pinterest,linkedin,print,mail,love,more,whatsapp,telegram,subscribe,share" morebutton="1" morebutton_icon="plus" sharebtn_func="1" sharebtn_style="button" sharebtn_icon="share" sharebtn_counter="insidebeforename" counters=1 style="button" template="6" point_type="simple"]

**Include your shortcode into template files using this sample code
<?php echo do_shortcode('[easy-social-share buttons="facebook,twitter,google,pinterest,linkedin,print,mail,love,more,whatsapp,telegram,subscribe,share" morebutton="1" morebutton_icon="plus" sharebtn_func="1" sharebtn_style="button" sharebtn_icon="share" sharebtn_counter="insidebeforename" counters=1 style="button" template="6" point_type="simple"]'); ?>

To get the current post/page title and permalink you can use the following code:
$url = get_permalink($post->ID);
$title = get_the_title($post->ID);

A completed shortcode that uses those variables added will look like this:
<?php
$url = get_permalink($post->ID);
$title = get_the_title($post->ID);
echo do_shortcode('[easy-social-share buttons="facebook,twitter,google,pinterest,linkedin,print,mail,love,more,whatsapp,telegram,subscribe,share" morebutton="1" morebutton_icon="plus" sharebtn_func="1" sharebtn_style="button" sharebtn_icon="share" sharebtn_counter="insidebeforename" counters=1 style="button" template="6" point_type="simple" url="'.$url.'" text="'.$title.'"]');
?>

** Use your shortcode with the stored unique key inside content
[easy-social-share ukey="1517953080"]

** Use your shortcode with the stored unique key inside content
<?php echo do_shortcode('[easy-social-share ukey="1517953080"]'); ?>

pls advice, thanks.

Hello,

You can use any type of shortcode in Content Template. If you need to use some php code then we can make small shortcode for it. Please insert easy social share shortcode in Content Template and let me know if you find any issue.

Thank you
