If you want to create your own social button and want to retrieve the number of shares via WordPress you can use the wpbfsb_get_remote_functions
filter hook. You can find the filter in the classes/model/remote.php
file (see get_remote_functions()
function).
How to add a remote function
Crate a new plugin file and use the above mentioned filter hook to add a new function to the list:
<?php /* Plugin Name: My Fixed Social Share Remote Function for X */ add_filter( 'wpbfsb_get_remote_functions', 'my_wpbfsb_remote_fcn_add_x' ); /** * Adds a new function to the drop-down list on the edit screen. * * @param array $functions * * @return array */ function my_wpbfsb_remote_fcn_add_x( $functions ) { $functions['x'] = array( 'label' => __( 'Platform X', 'wpbfsb' ), 'function' => 'my_wpbfsb_remote_get_x_statistics' ); return $functions; } /** * Returns the number of shares, likes, etc. * * @param string|null $url * * @return int The number of shares, likes, etc. */ function my_wpbfsb_remote_get_x_statistics( $url = null ) { // retrieve the currents page URL $url = WPB_Fixed_Social_Share_Model_Remote::get_current_url( $url ); // use the plugins remote functionality (supports caching) $parsed_results = WPB_Fixed_Social_Share_Model_Remote::remote( // name (important for caching) 'google_plus_likes', // the url $url, // the url that should be pinged 'https://clients6.google.com/rpc', // other POST parameters array( 'method' => 'post', 'headers' => array( 'Content-type' => 'application/json' ), 'body' => '[{"method":"pos.plusones.get","id":"p","params":{"nolog":true,"id":"' . $url . '","source":"widget","userId":"@viewer","groupId":"@self"},"jsonrpc":"2.0","key":"p","apiVersion":"v1"}]' ) ); // do whatever is needed to catch the number of shares if ( isset( $parsed_results[0]['result']['metadata']['globalCounts']['count'] ) ) { return $parsed_results[0]['result']['metadata']['globalCounts']['count']; } // otherwise return 0 return 0; }
Save your file maybe like my-fixed-social-share-remote-function-for-x.php
and upload it to the wp-contents/plugins/
folder. Then activate it from the plugin list.
After this, add a new button and choose your just created function from the dropdown list like this.
