Adding a "copy link" link to my quick share plugin

[sbertrand]

Is there any way to add a copy link link/button to the share portion of this? (Currently using the QuickShare plug in). So that instead of routing to email or other social media they have the direct option of copying (and/or pasting) the link? Thanks!

$_SESSION['url'] = "http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]"; Will get you the link and save it in a session.

Where would I put this in? The plug in folder file for quickshare and that php file?

[drose379]

Maybe, I’ve never used a plugin before. Do you have any code to show? Maybe I could help you that way.

    if($excerpt == '')

        $excerpt = $post->post_content;

    $excerpt = wp_trim_words($excerpt, 40); //do this first so we aren't processing a ton of data

    $excerpt = strip_shortcodes( $excerpt );

    $excerpt = strip_tags($excerpt);

    $excerpt = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $excerpt);

    return $excerpt;

}

<–This is the quickshare php file code.

Do you know how to create functions? I would add a property to the class there called ‘url’ and create a method (function) that gets the url of the page using the code I pasted above. $this->url = $url and have the method return $this->url. You can then use that value whenever you need it as long as an instance of the class is created.

[drose379]

I actually have something the exact same as what you want on a site I have.

It’s been a long long time since I’ve had to write a function…I happen to lean more designer and less coder, but apparently it’s time I learned a bit more, sigh…so something like this?
function url () {
$this->url = $url;
$_SESSION['url'] = "http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";
}
<code></code>
And then would I insert it somewhere else besides my main function.php file?

Well, I inserted what you sent over and it gave me a lot of error messages…and to clarify – I am not inserting to a single page, but to the plug in because this needs to be included on all the pages, lightboxes, post pages, etc.

BTW – thank you for all your help. If I knew who you were or where you were at, I’d invite you to share a nice beverage with me. :)

[drose379]

Sorry, what I sent was not ready to be thrown right into code. It would have to be tailored to how you set up your code in order to work.
