Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted January 10Jan 10 How do I control where items are shared? I click this on the Share link on a post: and it brings up this window. I'd like Instagram to also be there. Thanks
January 10Jan 10 Community Expert 'd like Instagram to also be there. This is from your device, we do not control that.
January 10Jan 10 Author This is from your device, we do not control that. I don't understand. For instance, I went to Sharing in the ACP and turned off Pinterest, and that no longer shows in the sharing link on the page. Then I click more sharing options, and there are items listed there. Can I add a sharing option? This video shows it to the point of the second pop-up, it would not capture that, but you can see it in the pic above. https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/35411961?key=30969a85ea4b6f7f914f62509fb7e76a

Your device sees your sharing a link and suggests apps you have installed that may be compatible with link sharing:
January 10Jan 10 Author OK, thanks. Is there a way to add sharing items to the first smaller pop-up that is controlled by in the ACP?
January 10Jan 10 Community Expert OK, thanks. Is there a way to add sharing items to the first smaller pop-up that is controlled by in the ACP? These would need to be added by us or through a customization but theoretically, yes. I say theoretically, as the site you want to share to needs to support that as such. Like for Facebook, as an example, they have a sharing system that developers can use to open up a share window and pass a URL to so a user can share that URL on Facebook. You can suggest new share sites in our Feedback forum.
January 10Jan 10 Community Expert Is there a way to add sharing items to the first smaller pop-up that is controlled by in the ACP? Yes. It's indeed possible to add new options with applications. For example, I have a free modification available that adds a QR Code option: https://invisionbyte.net/files/file/283-tb-qr-code-share-service/

Any chance you'd modify it for v5 so we can add our own? Maybe put a small fee on it? 🙂
January 10Jan 10 Custom Share Services can't be added to v5 yet (there's no official extension for it, but one may accomplish it via a quick and dirty workaround), but be assured it's on our roadmap 🙂
