Share links

Plugin works with any HTML tags: <a> or <div> or <button> or other. So you can choose any and add required attributes data-social. For example:

<!-- Create button with share to Twitter -->
<button data-social="twitter">Share this to Twitter</button>

<!-- Create link with share to Facebook -->
<a href="#" data-social="facebook">Share this to Facebook</a>

<!-- Create div container with share to LinkedIn -->
<div data-social="linkedin">Share this to LinkedIn</div>

<!-- Create icon from Fontello.com with share to Google+ -->
<i class="icon-google-plus" data-social="googleplus"></i>

Note for description and image

By default, goodshare.js search this tags for get description and image (for some social networks):

<head>
  ...
  <meta name="description" content="Current page description."/>
  <link rel="image_src" href="http://your-site.com/path/to/image.jpg"/>
  ...
</head>

Note for <a> links

We use event.preventDefault() for event «click». So don't be afraid to use links like this:

<a href="#" data-social="...">My link</a>

Share counters

To display counter, just add data-counter attribute to HTML element that will contain numbers. For example:

<!-- Create link with share to Facebook and counter -->
<a href="#" data-social="facebook">
  Share this to Facebook
  <span data-counter="facebook"></span>
</a>

Note: You also may put this attribute to any element.

Value of data-counter attribute, see in this list of supported social networks and microblogs:

Note: Google Plus, Surfingbird, StumbleUpon, Pocket and Xing counters use Yahoo Query Language (YQL). It may impose some restrictions on use, associated with limit queries to Yahoo (we try to find another solution for this, if you know — write issue to us).
