Integrating Social Sharing in GeoDirectory

[msattolo]

Could you advice me how to add Kleo Social Sharing to GeoDirectory?
I am getting familiar with do_actions and customizing Geodirectory pages, but I would need to know the bit of code for adding your theme social sharing, in order to be consistent.
Thank you!

You’ll need to do two things.

1 – Add places to Theme Options > Social Info > Social share Post types

2 – Add this to your child theme functions.php file.

COPY CODE

add_action('geodir_after_main_content','add_kleo_social_share');
function add_kleo_social_share() {
	get_template_part( 'page-parts/posts-social-share' );
}

@andrei – I assigned this topic to you because I think you did the initial GeoDir integration. We need to add a check within Kleo to see if “Places” was turned on for Social share post types. If so, we need to add the geodir_after_main_content action to insert it. If you weren’t responsible, let me know and I’ll talk to Abe. Thanks 🙂

Hi Sharmstr and Andrei
It worked fine!

Another question. Facebook share is only showing the link and not the image, excerpt and other features it generally has (such as private sharing). Can you advice?

Thank you for a great great job. I am being able to work around and developing a great tool integrating geodirectory, buddpress, etc.

Kind regards
Miriam

You will need to use a SEO plugin that expose this kind of information ( picture, description ) for social sharing tools. They are called Open Graph tags ( og tags) and I think the WordPress SEO plugin will help you expose them.

Yes. WP SEO from Yoast does.

Hi Andrei and Sharmstr
I installed Yoast WP SEO, and it is not fixing.
Have you tested yourself? Any other clue?

Is it possible to replace your social sharing tools with a plugin such as Add this?

Thank you
Miriam

[Andrei]

Sorry for the late reply, yes you can turn off our social share buttons and add a plugin which has such features.

I’ve added this feature built in Kleo, just add the “Places” post type under “Theme Options > Social Share” and the share tools will appear in the listing detail page.

The feature will be available starting next update, keep an eye on the updates.

Cheers
