Jekyll::Sharelinks

A simple gem to add social networks sharing links on your Jekyll website.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'jekyll-sharelinks'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install jekyll-sharelinks

You need to define few configuration variables in your _config.yml file. A Facebook App ID is required and a Twitter account is optional (Twitter account is used as referer for the shared link.).

To get a Facebook app_id checkout this link.

url: "http://example.com" # the base hostname & protocol for your site

facebook:
  app_id: 0123456789

twitter_username: john_doe

Just add {% sharelinks %} tag wherever you want to add share links for social networks :)

By adding {% sharelinks %} liquid tag to your website, Facebook, Twitter and Google+ social networks links will show up

I think to add furthermore social networks links in the future with a modular way to add or remove them
