   A client requested that the sharebar on his site use the current page url for the Like functions on Facebook and LinkedIn; by default when sharebar is installed the buttons reference the site's base url

   I opted to add a quick function to create a short code [current_page] to use in the sharebar using the following:

   function curPageURL() {
    $pageURL = 'http';
    if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}
    $pageURL .= "://";
    if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
     $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
    } else {
     $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
    }
    return $pageURL;
   }
   
   add_shortcode( 'current_page', 'curPageURL' );

   Is there a better approach available/recommended?
