Hi,
I tried to change the title / description but it didn't work fully-
the following post
http://forums.sharethis.com/topic/changing-source-of-the-title-or-description-when-posting?replies=2
advises to insert the sharethis query string from http://sharethis.com/publisher string into the <head> of your page and then use the "title" object property to specify the title of your shared objects.
I understood this to mean that I can put the query string section anywhere between the <head> and </head> statement and then the sharethis.addentry anywhere after the </head> as below:
[a separate .inc file with <head> and all the <meta> and <style> statements, ending with </head> comes here, containing the statement below]
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://w.sharethis.com/widget/?tabs=web%2Cpost%2Cemail&charset=utf-8&style=rotate&publisher=xxx;popup=true"></script>
the .asp file with the sharethis code starts here:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
SHARETHIS.addEntry({
title:'Check out this movie',
url:'http://testurl.com',
summary:'testsummary',
content:'testcontent',
icon: 'http://path.to/icon'
}, {button:true} );
</script>
However, when I do this as above, the sharethis icon doesn't show. It will only show if I put the two sharethis code sections next to each other in the asp file, i.e. after the </head> section.... why is this..?
secondly, when I put the two sections next to each other, the sharethis icon does show but all of the custom addentry properties are ignored...
what I would like is to put my own custom strings in the subject and description of the email the shared person would receive... that would appear on all the sharethis sent e-mail messages.
Thank you for any help..
