[Plugin: Sharebar] Link to current page, not homepage in Linked In and Facebook widgets

    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?
