Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted February 11, 20159 yr Please, add WhatsApp as a Sharing option in site Promotion.I have just taken a look at my website statistics right now and more than 50% of the visitors are accessing it by cell phones.It's a must for great community promotion the option to share content by WhatsApp.AddThis (http://www.addthis.com/blog/2014/08/13/new-services-added-including-whatsapp-sharing/#.VNqycMbZGC8) and AddToAny (https://www.addtoany.com/services/whatsapp_button) already offer WhatsApp sharing button.There is a ready to use javascript that can be used by IPS 4: http://whatsapp-sharing.com
February 11, 20159 yr I looked at this, too. Seems not too hard to implement. On my favorite Wordpresssites, most shares are done via WhatsApp since they installed that plugin.Im pretty sure, we will see this in IPS4 (Core or Plugin)
February 11, 20159 yr I played around and added it using this generator: http://whatsapp-sharing.com/ Easy as 1-2-3
February 11, 20159 yr Author I played around and added it using this generator: http://whatsapp-sharing.com/ Easy as 1-2-3 Where did you add the javascript file?
February 11, 20159 yr Actually looking more into this I have just implemented it quickly to my site via mobile. Needs some work but I added <div class="right"><a href="whatsapp://send?text=JustATest"><img src="//phoneunlockserver.com/images/whatsapp.png"/></a></div> To my mobile skin after {parse template="defaultHeader" group="global" params=""} </if>I think it's better than relying on external websites and javascript

Does it work with Google's OS?
February 12, 20159 yr I'm looking at creating my first hook it works on android in fact I don't have IOS like I said that was just a quick rough test to see if it worked.I'm thinking about hook with a small floating button in the mobile skin to share the current page via whatsapp
February 12, 20159 yr I'm looking at creating my first hook it works on android in fact I don't have IOS like I said that was just a quick rough test to see if it worked. I'm thinking about hook with a small floating button in the mobile skin to share the current page via whatsapp This is great ! I also want to add a WhatsApp-Button to the Desktopstyles. Why? On Wordpress, many people see that button and visit the site using their mobile just to share content via WhatsApp, so Desktopusers should also know they have the possibility to do so
February 12, 20159 yr Author Where is IPS team? Please, add WhatsApp button to the built in options!!
February 15, 20159 yr I tried and failed maybe someone with experience.I had the button on my site but I cannot get the skin to display at the same time.
February 17, 20159 yr I did. I just added the template, the CSS, and then Whatsapp.php to to system\Content\ShareServices.
February 17, 20159 yr Author I did. I just added the template, the CSS, and then Whatsapp.php to to system\Content\ShareServices. Can you share the files? ?
February 17, 20159 yr Can you share the files? ?It's part of my custom app right now but I'll look into making it into a separate plugin. So far I have WhatsApp, Tumblr, and Pinterest as extra share services.
March 14, 20195 yr Author We still need WhatsApp share button as long as the hook is not working anymore.
