Is there a recommended and consistent way of adding social buttons?

Can one edit the text in Facebook markup fb:share buttons?

  • Seems like you're stuck with a facebook link that says "Share" if you use FB markup (<fb:share-button></fb:share-button>) - is there any way to edit this without resorting to adding another script to my page with the standard Facebook share buttons? That is, I want to use <fb:share-button href="<link>" type="icon_link" class="class" id="id">Custom Copy Here</fb:share-button> and have that render a link that looks like this: [fb] Custom Copy Here Rather than what is generated: [fb] Share Possible?

  • Answer:

    The official javascript SDK only outputs "Share" and it's internationalized versions for <fb:share-button>. Keep in mind that the button is just a link to http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.quora.com with target='_blank', so it's fairly easy to make a custom link that pops up a share dialog. You can access the share total through the graph api at http://graph.facebook.com/http://www.quora.com
