As the image shows below: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/9/3/93a36f0d5be94085670fcfe143c92aeba4b625f4.png) Only these types sharing are available. What if my user want to share any other site, they have no way. So my question is how can I custom my share button or make a plugin to make it possible to share to other site? ---

Can you recommend to the Discourse team the social sites you wish to include? Which ones do your users care about? ---

They could always just copy/paste that link though right? It’s not the best solution but I think that would be the easiest way, or do what @Frank said and just recommend some to the DIscourse team. ---

Maybe this could be tied in somehow with the SSO stuff? ---

Yeah, thank you for your advice. I think I should tell the team what social sites we need. @sam can you help us add these types of sites like QQ, Weibo. What I need to do? ---

It would be nice for us too if there are buttons to share posts to Weibo. And we built [http://react-china.org](http://react-china.org) with Discourse. ---

We definitely want to make this easier to customize. @eviltrout can you add this to your list for 1.2 extensibility? ---

@sam @codinghorror I can help to add some Chinese social share buttons like QQ , Weibo , WeChat. Do I just need to modify `share_links.js` ? Anything else? I’m sorry this is my first time to edit source files and I have no idea about Discourse development. ---

This adds support for sharing links to weibo & renren. [https://meta.discourse.org/t/chinese-share-links/23000](https://meta.discourse.org/t/chinese-share-links/23000) FYI @eviltrout Sharing links to other platforms in China is complicated. Often required to include a script hosting on their sites. And they would also provide their logo photo(font awesome may not include their service). ---

I forgot to close this topic, but we added Sharing extensibility in Discourse 1.2. Here is the API plugins can use: [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/lib/sharing.js.es6#L7](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/lib/sharing.js.es6#L7) ---
