Dear Martin,
the social share options in FV Player seam to share product page link by default. As we are not using product pages and only embedded player in existing film pages how can we change links used in sharing options?Would that be a custom code change?
We would like always on all videos to share only one link to our Video on Dem,and page where all films are listet. Can that be accomplished and can you advise how?
Best

Hello Ulf,
You can use the
share
argument of the shortcode like this:share="Custom text;https://custom-link.com/here"
Full list of these arguments and how to use then with
[fvplayer id="..."]
shortcodes can be found here: https://foliovision.com/player/developers/shortcode-parametersThanks,
MartinDear Martin,
unforthunatly still only product page or main domain is shared.
We tried two ways to define custom social sharing:- Via Sharing Properties in FV Player settings
- via shortcode you provided
Both ways still show wrong results when sharing:
a. Twitter = sharing titel and link of product page
b. facebook = sharing main domain
c. email = sharing deafault Text from FV setting + sproduct page linkAlso in some cases the social share icons disappear and when I click in social share area with mouse I am redicreted to home page / main domain. See in my video: https://www.loom.com/share/904859228ec54c359956e5ec556d4dc8
Any idear why this is all happening. Do we miss something in seetings, shport code or anything else you can think of?
Best UlfDear Martin,
I deleted deafult sharing text in settings and configurated another video FV Player with ciustom sharing Properties.
This time the result even looks different and wired. See screenshots attached.In Email sharing now appears a link I added in former settings to vod page and default text or something totally messed up…
UlfOkay last Update:
Link from short code only working on emails but does not take custom text and adds default text from settings.[fvplayer_1 id=”5″ splash_text=”This is my video.” share=”Custom text;https://shop.marcus-vetter.com/vod2/”%5D
But not working for facebook or twitter ;(

UlfDear Martin,
my developer managed to make the shortcode work. The link in shortcode is shared now properly on facebook.On twitter the text show from widget but link somehow slash as percent sign see screenshot attached. That means only main domains will work. Any idea?
In email also only link with default text from setting shared.
Any advise hoe we can make it wqork for all sharing options to show with the individual text from shortcode? And how can we share link like http://www.marcus-vetter.com/vod or similar without converting on twitter into %?

[fvplayer_1 id=”4″ splash_text=”REGISTER NOW AND GET 24H FREE ACCESS.” share=”This is for preview test;https://www.marcus-vetter.com/war-and-justice/”%5D
But without any additional text “This is for preview test” – do we have the shortcode right and is the text supposed to be shared as well?
Hello Ulf,
Sorry about not coming back to your issues earlier.
I see that your issues was partly caused by using quotes in your
share="..."
argument value.I looked into the Twitter sharing issues and found that we were double-escaping the custom URL. Could you please reinstall FV Player from this link? https://foliovision.com/downloads/fv-wordpress-flowplayer.zip
Then the issue will be fixed.
Thanks,
Martin
