Update Problem

    Thanks for making the update.

    Unfortunately, when I updated it on my test site the following showed up in the settings page by the Available Services title:

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in \wp-content\plugins\osd-social-media-sharing\includes\global_settings.php on line 178

    Warning: array_multisort() [function.array-multisort]: Argument #3 is expected to be an array or a sort flag in \wp-content\plugins\osd-social-media-sharing\includes\global_settings.php on line 181

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in \wp-content\plugins\osd-social-media-sharing\includes\global_settings.php on line 202

    These were there before I did anything beyond updating the plugin.

    Wherever I had the shortcode showed a similar error message but at a different line:

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in \wp-content\plugins\osd-social-media-sharing\includes\OSDSocialShare.php on line 93

    I have not yet looked at the indicated lines to see what’s up but thought you should know this happened.

    The error messages remained even with all other plugins deactivated. I have no caching plugins or coding on my test site.

    The table heading for the icons appeared under the error messages (order, service, custom url, etc) & so did the add custom button but no actual table nor any icons with the original service.

    Clicking the add custom button made a new entry appear with NaN under order.

    Suggestions?

    GoldHatTrick –

    have you tried saving the admin page and refreshing? Thank you very much for the detailed error messaging. I will try to hide the warnings for future users during update. The way that the information is saved in the database for the plugin has changed which i believe is the root of most of the errors. Please try re-saving the admin settings and let me know what happens. Thank you!!

    Yes, I tried that. No change in the error messages in the settings page nor for the shortcode locations unless I actually add a custom url. Then the error messages disappear but the plugin is still not completely functional.

    The pre-update icon table is still not showing so I can’t even use the original social media icons/settings.

    I would still like to use the original settings for the other social media links & really only want the custom link for my facebook page.

    While I can add any custom url – I did add my facebook page url with the full http:// path – it does not actually share that facebook page. It just calls up a new blank window – no facebook login or anything at all.

    I also cannot call up your plugin’s facebook icon/button for the custom url (which would be ideal). I can use a separately uploaded icon, though, but the link still doesn’t link to my facebook page, just stays blank.

    Adding the custom url does change the NaN label under order to a number.

    Here we go. Releasing 3.0.1 now. Once installed please De-activate and Re-activite OSD SMS. Once you have done this if you wouldn’t mind sharing your results with me that would be great!

    Updated to 3.0.1, deactivated & re-activated.

    Result:

    1) Previous icon table restored – yes & appears to be working

    2) No error messages in the settings page or in the shortcode locations

    So far so good…

    3) Able to add custom url – yes & will link to that url (only tried my facebook page url).

    However, the custom url is a pure hyperlink versus sharing/liking link of the facebook page. How do I scribe the custom url to be a sharing link like the other built-in links versus just going to the facebook page?

    I have the http://www.facebook.com/pages/etc path in there right now. Do I need to add a sharing or login query or something to it?

    The custom url option still needs a separately uploaded icon. Can I use the plugin’s built-in facebook icon for a custom facebook sharing link?

    And seriously, thanks for doing all this! Absolutely awesome responses.

    Thank you for all of the help in improving the plugin!

    Ok, this reply is going to take a little work on your part unfortunately.

    1) For the Icons that we use in the plugin, you are welcome to use them however and wherever you like (you will not hurt our feelings by re-using our images) If you have FTP access to your site they are located at: plugins/osd-social-media-sharing/images/icons.png Once you have the png you can cut out the ones you want to use with photoshop or the like. If you don’t have FTP access you can download the plugin to your computer and pull out the icons.png that way.

    2) This plugin gives you access to only the HREF of the button. This means whatever you can pack into the link you are capable of doing. So for instance if you want to add your own share button go to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/share-button create the button you want and then hit Get Code. In the window that pops up select the URL tab at the top, this will give you the url to put into OSD SMS

    Thanks – OSD

    Fabulous! Thanks for letting me use your icons.

    I’ll look into getting the share link coding from facebook – thanks for the link!

    Still loving the other icons & will continue to use your plugin.

    I’ll mark this thread as resolved.

    GoldHatTrick,

    I am going to push another update that will help you out with your custom urls. The update will include a couple of shortcodes to help you out.

    [page] – this will be the page that the user is on
    [title] – this will be the title of the page that the user is on

    So, to create a pinterest share link it would look like this after the update:

    http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=%5Bpage%5D&description=%5Btitle%5D

    I am not going to release this update quite yet as I anticipate that some users have not yet upgraded to version 3 and there are bound to be more support questions.

    Sounds good!

    The 3.0.1 update is working without any problems for me. I have had no conflicts with other plugins or caching on my live site.

    Thanks again for all the fabulous work. I’m looking forward to the update.

    I had the same problem on a website: glacierparkboats.com.

    I tried re-saving the plugin settings but that did not work, so I reverted the site back to the old version of the plugin.

    Any advice on how to proceed from here? Thanks.

    Sharilyn,

    We are sorry for your upgrade troubles, please see below for the scenario we have been following on our client’s sites.

    After upgrading a live client site from 2.0.1 to 3.0.1 these are the steps that I followed and everything is working as expected.

    1. Update the plugin through the back-end of your site.
    2. De-activate OSD SMS plugin and then Re-activate it
    3. Visit the settings page for the plugin
    4. REFRESH the admin settings screen to clear out cached styling.
    5. Make your adjustments and save.
    6. Shortcode and automated post type displays will be working correctly.
    7. Done

    ________

    Another option is to unistall completely and re-install. Don’t forget to refresh the admin settings page to clear out the old styling.

    GoldHatTrick,

    The update we discussed has been released. To recreate the pinterest link it would be like this:

    http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=[page]&description=[title]

    [page] – this will be the page that the user is on
    [title] – this will be the title of the page that the user is on

    Thanks!

    osdwebdev,

    Shortcodes appear to be working for me. No problems with install from 3.0.1

    Thanks again!
