This would be huge for us. On word press, there is a widget that automates this. A similar function for Wild Apricot would be terrific.

Here's an idea: What if members of the WA community each pitched in a little money so that we could have this move up on the priority list? Dmitry, has this ever been done? Are you open to it?

Would be nice to be able to add it so its right next to the title like many pages do.

We are just setting up our site but this has already been requested. Would like to see links/buttons to share an event via E-mail, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

Thanks!

Automating the addition of these social media sharing buttons on each event page would be great. They not only help us better engage our members many of whom prefer to get their updates via Twitter/Facebook but also helps drive traffic to our site and thus help increase membership.

Right now we manually add "Share on Facebook" and "Retweet" buttons at the bottom of each event page. (See http://www.ffwn.org/events?eventId=152705&EventViewMode=EventDetails)

But because these are javascript codes they usually break whenever we subsequently edit the event or they don't work as expected (e.g., the sharing counts don't update) . Also the implementation doesn't always look elegant/seamless, e.g., the posted info just shows "Events" and not the title of the event.

Extending the functionality to blog posts in WA would also be great. Right now, it's just easier for us to move our blogs to Posterous because of its automated sharing to these social media sites.

Looks like script was messed up during posting. Please send to support instead.

Here is the code. When you add this to your blogs CSS it is supposed to show up at the bottom of all your posts so that when you share it, it creates a short code link back to the post. You can see an example on my website blog. It is at the bottom of the post on the right. You will see a small little social media toolbar. http://kailuawebdesign.com/save-money-on-your-website-consider-converting-to-a-wordpress-website/

Here is the code:

<a id="ck_email" class="stbar chicklet" href="javascript:void(0);"><img src="http://w.sharethis.com/chicklets/email.gif " /></a>
<a id="ck_facebook" class="stbar chicklet" href="javascript:void(0);"><img src="http://w.sharethis.com/chicklets/facebook.gif " /></a>
<a id="ck_twitter" class="stbar chicklet" href="javascript:void(0);"><img src="http://w.sharethis.com/chicklets/twitter.gif " /></a>
<a id="ck_sharethis" class="stbar chicklet" href="javascript:void(0);"><img src="http://w.sharethis.com/chicklets/sharethis.gif " />ShareThis</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
var shared_object = SHARETHIS.addEntry({
title: document.title,
url: document.location.href
});

shared_object.attachButton(document.getElementById("ck_sharethis"));
shared_object.attachChicklet("email", document.getElementById("ck_email"));
shared_object.attachChicklet("facebook", document.getElementById("ck_facebook"));
shared_object.attachChicklet("twitter", document.getElementById("ck_twitter"));
</script>

Send the code to support and explain where/how exactly you want this to work we will see what can be done about this.

I have asked about this but no one responded and when we tried the code breaks. We would really like the option to add SHARE THIS to the bottom of blog posts. (automatically not manually)

thanks!

That sounds a neat idea, would appreciate comments from others.

Taking it further - this can also be applied to Twitter and LinkedIn.
