Social sharing on Announcements

Hi Guys...
I have a news area section on my clients site that is still in development.
http://welcome-rt.businesscatalyst.com/company/latestnews
I've been trying to implement the facebook and twitter modules into the annoucement layouts but they aren't coming up for some reason. Am i doing something wrong as im inserting the modules as well as tried inserting the code into the templates, but nothing works...
Please help.. Just want to people to be able to like and tweet to their accounts.
cheers
Shane

I just followed the directions from Facebook - http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/, and was able to get it working on a news article. See http://www.charlesboustany.com/announcements/the-huckabee-report-one-of-the-best-people-we -have-working-for-us-in-d-c.
I too was not able to get it to work using the provided social modules from BC. The tag {module_facebooklike, url="{tag_itemurl_withhost}"} which worked beautifully for blog posts, was not recognized for news articles.

Can I test social sharing w/o generating an IPA file?

Is there a way that I can test social sharing behaviors without generating certificates for an IPA file? I would like to see how my articles are captured and how they look on social media before submitting the app to the apple store. I am hoping there is an easier way than creating an IPA file.
Thanks!

Found it.
I am learning why the refernce for JavaScript is 745 some odd pages.
There are system functions for Number of total Fields (numFields)
Name of any particular field (getNthfieldName)
You can then use a loop to find the field that are marked as REQUIRED and that are EMPTY.
Works GREAT inside my "Build Summary" button.

Social Sharing and shares per year

I'm curious when folios are shared via social sharing, do the shared views (via the web viewer) count against the shares per year that are purchased? Or do the shares per year only count the app or issue downloads viewed on tablets?

The details are still being worked out. My understanding is that desktop views of shared articles currently are not counted as downloads, but they will be in the future. I believe that when desktop views of shared articles reaches the same number as the articles in a folio, it counts as one folio download. In other words, if a folio has 20 articles, 20 views of those articles on the desktop by any number of users equals one download. We'll provide more information when it's available.

Social Sharing preference in sidecar.xml?

Hi,
I saw that <hideFromTOC> has been added to the sidecar.xml informations. Is there also a preference to set the social sharing protection behaviour?
Regards,
Yves

Hi Bob,
I just tried with Folio Builder Panel 12.2.2.1 (update from may 7th).
hideFromTOC still does not work. I can't even select it manually
Temp files were deleted.

Subscription Tile Error and Social Sharing Questions

Hello,
I recently had my free subscription DPS app rejected by Apple with the following message:
"When the user taps "subscribe" an activity indicator is displayed for a moment and then no further action occurs. The subscription fails."
When I go back through my work, it looks as though the problem may be linked with leaving "Optional Library Subscription Tile URL" field blank in the App Builder. Is this correct? Do I need to create a webpage specifically to complete the subsciption process? I haven't been able to find any specifics regarding this in the Adobe Publishing Companion Guide.
Also, regarding social sharing, is there any more information you can provide regarding setting up a URL scheme to launch the viewer app? Does this need to be an actual functioning webpage?
Thanks!
Darin

No, subscription failure is not because of the Optional URL scheme. Subscription failure and reason for Apple's rejection can be either or both of the following reason
You have not copy pasted your shared secret key into the application account of your app using the Admin dashbaord panel
Your free subscription product from the app(viewer builder) does not match the Free subscription in-app purchase on iTunes connect.
Regarding the optional URL scheme here's a good blog post from Bob

How can i adding a social sharing buttons (facebook, twitter etc.)
to pages (views/mypage.xml, views/mypage1.xml) in my android apllication.
Sincerely

read the swing tutotrial.

    this.pack();
    this.show();

Creating a custom app to proof social sharing

I have created a couple different custom apps to try to proof social sharing and I have created a folio with metered and free articles and published it private and free, and I have read everything (I think). I cannot get the navigation bar to show the "heads up display" for social sharing. Why?

Folios published as private won't appear in your custom viewer app. You need to publish the folios as public, and you need to enable social sharing in both DPS App Builder and in the application account (using the Account Admin tool).

Integrated social sharing via custom URLs rather than folio renditions

We publish a free magazine on the iPad, and we have the same content available for free on our website. We would like to send all sharing traffic from the iPad to our website content, rather than to the iPad app content via folio renditions.
Currently, we do this by coding buttons on each iPad page that, when tapped, take people to the corresponding HTML content via Twitter and Facebook sharer URLs. Naturally, we would prefer if this could be done through the "Sharing Icon" in the viewer.
Is there a way to configure the viewer to send people to our custom URLs for Facebook, Twitter & Email?
Thank you!

No. The sharing icon in the viewer is dedicated to enabling the social sharing workflows provided by DPS.

Social sharing with screenshot

It's a pitty social sharing is only possible in multi-folio apps...
If you send a screenshot with social sharing, is this an actual screenshot.
If I use in an article the cameraAPI, the user takes a new photo and shares this article; is the screenshot with the new photo in it?

That's what I expected... I hoped otherwise.
Neil, can you tell me it works the same for printing with airdrop?
Wil the print the actual article and only works in multi-folio apps?
with best regards

Social Sharing

I'm troubleshooting a problem with my social sharing function. Looks like something is wrong with my URL. Anyone have any ideas on where to fix this? See the screen shot below. This is where I'd like people to veiw my unprotected articles in the webviewer.

The error message is related to Facebook developer account.
It seems your Facebook developer account is not verified.
There are two ways to verify your account. First, you can verify your cell phone, which allows us to verify that a real person is in control of the account. The second way to verify your account is to add a credit card to your account.
Unfortunately, if you cannot verify with a cell phone or add a credit card, you may be unable to verify your account. All developers must be verified before they can create a new app.
Just verify your account , if not please contact Facebook developer support.

Social sharing and device orientation

Is it possible to let the social sharing feature of Sprint 20 share not only the folio but also remember the orientation of the device?
Currently the landscape view is presented first. Even users that share the portrait view end up sharing the landscape view first. As the content can be completely different between landscape and portrait, or landscape can be a "rotate" icon. This is just confusing (at least with our test panel).
It might be that I have missed a setting but I simply can't find a way to either lock sharing into "show portrait first" or even better - to show what the reader shared (by passing on the device orientation).

We would love this improvement!
All our folios ar designed for portrait mode, but they contain a landscape version with image and caption only. The result is a shared folio that makes no real sense for the people who gets the invitation to read the webviewer-rendition of the folio:

Facebook social sharing - login failed error

I have setup my app for social sharing following the http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/kb/setting-dps-app-social-networking.html instructions
However, when I test my development app, whilst it allows me to select Facebook from the social sharing drop-down, and gives the option to allow Facebook to access my basic profile info and list of friends, once I have done this, I then get the following error message:
"Login Failed. Please log in to Facebook and authorize "app name" through the iOS device settings or through the Facebook iOS application".
I have also found I get the same error when I try to share from other downloaded 3rd party newsstand publications - though not all of them? So am not sure whether this is something to do with:
1. how I've configured social sharing in my app (and if so, then other publications have also incorrectly configured theirs)
2. the settings on my own iPad - although these all seem to be in order, my app name doesnt appear in my Facebook settings to enable me to authorise login
On previously speaking with Adobe Support - I understand that I only need to register an app with Facebook to get an App ID, rather than fully create a Facebook app and get this approved (A process which I understand takes months?)
On re-reading the instructions, I have not yet completed the additional suggested Facebook SDK configuration "Implement Single Sign-On (SSO)" via XCode. Just wondering before I embark on this if this is actually the issue?
Would be very grateful for any advice/clarification on the above
Many thanks

I tried a few things, but I'm not entirely sure exactly which of them resolved it:
1.   I began by starting the "Implement Single Sign-On" instructions by following the links at the bottom of the Adobe instructions page under "Additional Facebook configuration information"
     http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/kb/setting-dps-app-social-networking.html
     https://developers.facebook.com/docs/tutorials/ios-sdk-tutorial/#implementsso
     https://developers.facebook.com/docs/getting-started/facebook-sdk-for-ios/
     I completed steps 1 - 5 on the last link - but stopped at the step 6 - start coding - as this got a bit beyond me (I'm not a programmer!)
2. I then looked back at the settings in the Facebook app, and under permissions, changed the Default Activity Privacy to Public, and the Auth Token Parameter to URI Fragment (#acces_token=...)
I would perhaps try adjusting your FB settings first and see if this solves it before trying the Xcode route.
(I fed my findings back to Adobe Support to see if they could shed any light on this, but heard nothing back).
Please let me know how you get on and if this works for you
Kind regards
Sharon

Social Sharing Links not working in v26

We recently rebuilt our application from iPad only in v25, to Universal with v26 to enable the web-viewer. In our v25 version, our social sharing was setup and worked perfectly. For some reason though, now that we have the v26 version, all of our sharing links go to our redirect URL only.
I've seen some issues on the forum related to renditions and naming. Has anyone experienced this? I've double checked and social sharing is enabled in the App Builder and in the Account Admin area. We are using WoodWing to publish so everything is and was unprotected by default. Below is one of the URLs that it is providing:
http://millennialeye.com?wv=s%2FMillennial%2520Eye%2F13e831a3f9a54b87a0d0669b4a9697d5%2Fco m.brynmawr.millenialeye.ipad%2F114.html

Bob, I believe the problem is if I have added a Hosting URL for the Web-Viewer it automatically sets the Social Sharing links to this URL.
My question then is, does adding or removing a Hosing URL from the Configure User area require an app rebuild, or will the change be reflected in the live app once the changes hit the server?
Thank you,
Nik

Single Edition - Social Sharing

Can you post articles from a single edition as images on Pinterest?

No, the Social Sharing feature is for Professional/Enterprise apps, not Single Edition.

Social Sharing on Single Folio built with Professional Edition

Is there a work-around for enabling social sharing on a single edition (non-subscription) app built with the professional edition of dps? Could I treat the app in the App Builder as a single edition, multi-folio somehow?

no.
