Questions about Publications

by Beyonder Thu 2 Dec - 19:44

Apologize in advance if this is in the wrong section but for a while, I have been wondering what is Publications? how does it work for SEO? and if there are more places to share across social media since I have only seen it have two real options (Twitter/Pinterest) with this said any and all help will be appreciated to know what the main functions are for this feature.

Sorta answers it yes, but are publications supposed to be for new articles/blogging? and is there any reason why there isn't a share button for facebook?

I am going to move this to the correct section since it is in a way a support topic.

I can not remember the reason why there are only certain share options. I will try to locate the information.

How does one get such sharing features?

So I changed the text inside the coding to "facebook":

Then the FB Icon automatically pops up on the publication:

But when I try to share the article it says "Invalid App ID: The provided app ID does not look like a valid app ID."

You need to check your facebook apps
Try this

Apps->Your App
Status+Review
Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public? -> Yes

Yeah I did the process but that section is nowhere on the APP settings. Sad

Step 1: The Coding

Code:: <li><amp-social-share type="facebook" width="40" height="40" data-param-app_id="[Insert APP ID"></amp-social-share></li>

Step 2: Past the Coding

Go to Display->Templates->Publications

Look for this coding:

Code:: <li><amp-social-share type="twitter" width="40" height="40"></amp-social-share></li> <li><amp-social-share type="gplus" width="40" height="40"></amp-social-share></li> <li><amp-social-share type="email" width="40" height="40"></amp-social-share></li> <li><amp-social-share type="pinterest" width="40" height="40"></amp-social-share></li> <li><amp-social-share type="whatsapp" width="40" height="40"></amp-social-share></li>

Replace with this coding:

Code:: <li><amp-social-share type="facebook" data-param-url="{article.share_url}" width="40" height="40" data-param-app_id="[Insert Facebook APP ID]"></amp-social-share></li> <li><amp-social-share type="twitter" data-param-url="{article.share_url}" width="40" height="40"></amp-social-share></li> <li><amp-social-share type="tumblr" data-param-url="{article.share_url}" width="40" height="40"></amp-social-share></li> <li><amp-social-share type="email" data-param-body="{article.share_url}" width="40" height="40"></amp-social-share></li> <li><amp-social-share type="pinterest" data-param-url="{article.share_url}" width="40" height="40"></amp-social-share></li>

Here is a full Example:

Arrow 1: Make sure your App is Live

Arrow 2: This is what you copy for APP ID

Arrow 3: This is where you paste the APP ID

Make sure you SAVE and make sure you APPROVE the change to the coding. Questions about Publications 1f44d
