Facebook : How to place save to Facebook button on your website
Just a quick tutorial on how to place the save to Facebook
button on a web page. Instead of bookmarking to a browser, it has become handy for many people to bookmark an URL or save to Facebook
for later viewing again.
The steps are pretty simple:
Get a Facebook app for your website if you haven't done so. You will need the app ID later on. Visit https://developers.facebook.com/apps/ and click on the
Add a New App
green button.Install the Facebook JavaScript SDK on your website. Get it from https://developers.facebook.com/docs/javascript/quickstart
Fill in your App ID and place the code below on your web page's header section.
<script> window.fbAsyncInit = function() { FB.init({ appId : 'your-app-id', <---------- your APP id autoLogAppEvents : true, xfbml : true, version : 'v2.9' }); FB.AppEvents.logPageView(); }; (function(d, s, id){ var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;} js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); </script>
Finally, on your web page where you want the
save to Facebook
button to appear. Add this<div>
.<div class="fb-save" data-uri="https://socketloop.com/tutorials" data-size="large"></div>
Explaination for the parameters:
data-uri = URL that you want your user/visitor to save
data-size = how big the button you want it to be. "large" or "small"
Of course, it makes more sense by programmitically changing the value of the data-uri
to the current URL the user is viewing. For example, with PHP CodeIgniter's current_url()
function
<div class="fb-save" data-uri="<?php echo current_url(); ?>" data-size="large"></div>
or Golang's get current url function at https://www.socketloop.com/tutorials/golang-get-current-url-example
Once saved to Facebook, this is how it looks like:
and Mark Zuckerberg will be happy because you just let Facebook leverage on your website traffic...
anyway happy coding!
