The social buttons not are not working right

[arunkumarahuja]

I have used only {{> shareit}} on a static page. No configuration.

When I click the facebook share button, it opens a new tab with a hash after the url. (nothing gets shared)
When I click the google share button, two twitter tweet popups appear. (nothing gets shared on google)

Twitter share seems to work right.

facebook shareit is working fine for me. I did try putting {{> shareit}} on a page that isn't on /blog and got the same exact results that you are describing. I think that's the issue.

edit: oops, got here from the meteor-blog github, my bad.

@arunkumarahuja @westhechiang I had the same problem, but I found the solution.

I wrote in the template:

{{> shareIt }}

And it doesn't work. So I wrote this:

{{> shareIt shareData }}

...and the problem was solved!

(shareData is a template helper, like the example in the readme.md file)

I used {{> shareit shareData}} and seem to be getting the same issue as using {{>shareit}}. Twitter works. FB just creates a new tab of the same page with /# next to it. Google+ creates a twitter post.

Currently, I have this code:

[client/productHeader.js]

Template.productHeader.helpers({
  shareData: function() {
    var resp = {  title: this.name + " en mercadOrganico!", 
                  excerpt:"a Message",
                  description:"a Description",
                  summary:"a Summary",
                  author:"from MyApp"
                };
    return resp;
  }
});

[client/productHeader.html]

<template name="productHeader">
    {{> shareit shareData}}
</template>

[client/main.js]

ShareIt.configure({
  useFB: true,          // boolean (default: true)
  useTwitter: true,     // boolean (default: true)
  useGoogle: true,      // boolean (default: true)
  classes: "large btn", // string (default: 'large btn')
  iconOnly: true,       // boolean (default: false)
  applyColors: true     // boolean (default: true)
});

At the moment, I have a problem with the "this.name" line in productHeader.js, but that is another issue ;)
