Replace sharing button link

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › How to … › Replace sharing button link

  • Harold 6 years, 8 months ago

    Hi,
    It looks like all share buttons on top of the video player have the video title added to the end of their links URL.
    For example, if I open the video player to watch “myvideo.mp4”, the facebook share button link will be “https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mywebsite.com%2Fsomepage%2F%23fvp_myvideo”
    Now, I am trying to replace the URL to link to some other page, and I don’t want the video title to be part of it, but it’s still there!
    I’m using JQuery to replace the URL like this:
    var url = “https://mywebsite/someOTHERpage/?post_id=123”;
    var $facebook_link = ‘https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=’ + url;
    $(‘a.sharing-facebook’).attr(‘href’, $facebook_link);
    and then the facebook share button link is:
    “https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://mywebsite/someOTHERpage/?post_id=123%23fvp_myvideo”
    But I want it to be just:
    “https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://mywebsite/someOTHERpage/?post_id=123”
    How do I get rid of the title at the end of the sharing link?

    Hello Harold,

    I see, our JavaScript is actually putting in that video identifier on purpose.

    I think we have an advanced shortcode parameter which let you use a custom URL for the sharing which is what you are trying to achive. I’ll check if the JavaScript code is adjusting that one as well and will let you know.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Harold,

    I can confirm that you can use a shorcode like this to share a fixed URL:

    [fvplayer src="https://cdn.foliovision.com/videos/dominika-960-31.mp4" share="https://foliovision.com"]

    Thanks,
    Martin
