LG Social Bookmarks-Permalink Syntax?
Development and Programming
I acknowledge that I am an EE newbie. I just installed the Social Bookmarks 2.0 extension and am having a problem with the output.
Here are the pertinent lines in my template:
{assign_variable:template_group="blogs"}
{lg_social_bookmarks title="{title}" permalink="{path=template_group/post}"}Note: I am not using a comment page. I want people to come back to the main post page. Other permalink calls on page correctly map to the URL. For example: www.everydaychristian.com/blogs/post/313
This is the output I get in the email form and on other social websites:
http://everydaychristian.com/template_group/post/\n\n{summary}
I think I have a syntax problem but cannot for the life of me figure it out. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
UPDATE: Just noticed the assign variable tag you setup which means that the template_group variable should be replaced with the “blogs” content… just make sure you have the url title in there as well…

The following part of the LG Extension controls what URL is sent to the Social Bookmarking Service:
permalink="{path=template_group/post}"Notice that “template_group” needs to be replaced by the template group of the page your are bookmarking. For example in the case of your weblog entry at www.everydaychristian.com/blogs/post/313 you will replace “template_group” with “blogs” and add either the entry_id or url_title to the path tag:
permalink="{path=blogs/post}{url_title}"This should give you the following URL when you click on the facebook link (for example):
http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://www.everydaychristian.com/blogs/post/where_will_the_president_worship&t=Where Will the President Worship
Hope that is clear… 😊
Thanks. I’ve got it working now. I had tried subbing “blogs” for “template_group” but was still encountering the same problem. The tip for including {entry_id} or {url_title} was the roadblock I needed to overcome. Thanks for providing that information!
