sobrenome Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 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 ~sullengirl~, Feneroin, Marius and 5 others 8
TheSonic Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 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) sobrenome 1

barney2229 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 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 sobrenome and TheSonic 2

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 sobrenome and ASTRAPI 2

Crystal V Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 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. sobrenome 1
