    Hi Allen,

    yes I see what you mean with regard to Simplepie.

    I realize that you cannot be expected to deal with issues outside the plugin’s coding, however, I have a solution if your interested..?

    I mentioned in my first message about concatenate the affiliate link onto your variable for the links. Well I’ve tried this over the last couple of days & it works perfectly!

    Admittedly it does mean editing all the template code sheets, but this should be fairly easy & straight forward to add as an option under Global Settings.

    Thanks Steve…

    Hi,
    thanks for the response.
    Having checked the few networks I have set up, all appear to use the default setting which I believe is %TITLE%.

    So based on your response, the section of code I previously posted can be ignored!

    So can you please tell me where the system is getting the url for the title when %TITLE% is used..? I know you previously stated that it takes the url from get_permalink, but what I am asking is where in the script …?

    Thanks

    Hmmm I do apologise, my mistake !

    But not being a coder I do have trouble fully understanding the php code & terminology.

    Having checked the code sheet of my theme, I see that it uses the_permalink as opposed to get_permalink. This then explains why the correct url displays on the page on mouse over. And if I read this correctly it is because one calls the function from outside the loop yet the other is inside the loop..?

    So what I need is some method of using the_permalink instead of get_permalink hmmm..?

    One other thing, I checked through a few of the code sheets of SNAP & found get_permalink in NextScripts_SNAP.php & in inc-cl/di.php(which is the one I used for testing)

    So my question now is, is the url set in the code sheet for each networking / bookmarking site ..? or is there one central place where it is set..?

    Thanks Steve…

    Thanyou for your response,
    although I did ask 3 questions about SNAP & from what I can see you have only bothered to answer one!

    Q 1. Hi, can you tell me please how can I make SNAP use the originating url of a post instead of reverting back to my blog url..?

    Q 2. So somewhere in the process SNAP is reverting back to my blogs url & not the original / source URL.

    Q 3. Is there any way around this ..? because other than this issue the plugin is great and posts out to my social accounts without any trouble.

    Your reply it seems is in answer to question 2, but there is no reply or even a comment on questions 1 & 3..?

    Please answer my questions fully, perhaps then I may be able to get this issue dealt with.

    Thankyou Steve…

    Hi, can you tell me please how can I make SNAP use the originating url of a post instead of reverting back to my blog url..?

    My site is a news aggregator (for want of a better description), the posts are pulled in from various RSS Feeds & when in the RSS Feed the posts do have the correct url.

    If you look here http://info-feed.com/feed/ & here http://info-feed.com/ and hover over any of the titles you can clearly see that they all use the originating / source URL.

    So somewhere in the process SNAP is reverting back to my blogs url & not the original / source URL.

    Is there any way around this ..? because other than this issue the plugin is great and posts out to my social accounts without any trouble.

    Please advise

    Steve…
