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 Publication url

We have submitted a multi-folio app for approval couple of days back.
The magazine issues we are planning to publish are free to download. During the process of app creation through 'DPS App builder', we have setup up social sharing through email, twitter and copy link.
Now, in the DPS App builder wizard, it asked for 'publication url' in which we have mentioned the website address for the magazine.
My question is, when people share the article how is our website address relevant ? should we have the folio hosted on our website in order to have this enabled ? or will it be shared directly through the DPS server ?
When we tried the sharing feature on dev app on the ipad, it just took us directly to our website and not the article which is hosted in DPS ?
Did we do something wrong ? or will it just work when the app is in production ?

All articles are protected by default, therefore social sharing to work, your articles has to be un-protected. You control those from the Folio producer dashbaord.
Below is a link on a complete tutorial and giude on understanding social sharing and how to set up. Please go through and let us know if you have questions

Social Sharing on Facebook

Hello:
I've followed all the steps on the link http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/kb/setting-dps-app-social-networking.html to setup social sharing with Facebook but I need to know if this new FB app needs to be submitted to review so Facebook can approve it or I just only need to set the app live to all the users?
Thanks for your help
Leo

Hi,
Just to live don't need approved.

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.

Social sharing in single edition with pro account

Hello,
I'm confused by the explanation on the Adobe website, so if anyone could explain to me the following, that'd be nice!
A client of us has a Professional account for DPS, but so far he has only used it to make a Single Edition app. Now this client would like to add Social Sharing features to his app, but everywhere I look I find that Social Sharing is only available for Professional accounts.
In this instance, the client has a Professional account, but just hasn't used to make Multifolio apps. Is it possible in this case to add Social Sharing to his Single Edition app? After all, he does have a Pro account?
Thanks!

Is there actually a reason why not?
I mean, if it's possible to implement this in multi-folio apps, I can imagine that someone might want to share something that's in a single edition. In my opinion, this just doesn't make sense and is one more letdown for the entire DPS thing...
Guess we'll have to try to explain this to our customer or look for an alternative method for digital publishing instead of DPS.

Home Sharing with ios7. Where's the MORE button?

I've followed the instructions for home sharing completely...
the only problem is when I go to iTunes, when I'm suppose to click
on the MORE tab...it's not there.
There's a possiblity that I'm crazy, but I'm just not seeing it anywhere since the ios7 update.
ASSISTANCE!!!!

If you're referring to iTunes on your computer to be able to allow it, I think it's in iTunes Store tab, a tiny icon top left.
It's a pain to find. Apple is not ver good at giving proper instructions with screenshots to aid.

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

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).

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

Can anyone clarify the paywall threshold setting for social sharing?

When configuring your DPS account for social sharing Adobe's documentation mentions that "The Paywall Threshold value controls how many articles you want a user to be able to read before they are hit with the paywall message."
Programmatically how is an article defined? Is that the same as a horizontal swipe to the next page or the next TOC entry? I'm running tests and I set our account to the number 3 and when I view these shared pages I can clearly navigate past 3 pages horizontally. Actually the only way for me to reach the paywall is to click on an article in the TOC that is protected. Can anyone clarify?

Are the articles from a free folio? The paywall does not apply to articles in free folios. With v22, the paywall affects only articles in retail folios.

Android Social Sharing

I was wondering if anybody has used any solutions to enable social sharing on Android Devices?
I know this isn't a supported feature with the native android viewers at the moment, so is there a way to link to HTML to open up this possibility?
This is a make or break decision for whether I decide to use DPS or look to native development.
Thanks to everyone in advance!

yes i built a solution to share in android ( facebook, twiiter and mail) i will set up an admin panel for people who wants to use it.
take a look how it works in android ( Vitnik - Android Apps on Google Play )
