This guide is a wiki, if you have other providers, maybe specific for your country, just add them to the list.

You will find the share URL in the documentation for the developers.

Premise: I do not use, nor have I ever used Instagram but, I do not believe that Instagram have a share button at all, for sure there is a “follow” button that you can add if you want it.

Something like this should work (maybe)

instagram,instagram,follow me on instagram,https://www.instagram.com/your-instagram-username/?ref=

In the Component Settings:

social share links: LinkedIn, fab-linkedin, Share to LinkedIn, https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=

svg-icons: fab-linkedin

I think I had to do force-refresh in the browser to nudge it.

Hey! I saw in your post that you added weixin sharing. I’d like to add this too. Could you share with me the link? Thanks in advance!

weixin://dl/moment??

72

It’s

weixin://dl/moments

but please note that it’s a unofficial deep linking URL so it may stop working if Wechat should change/remove it.

More info at

Anyway, if you configure it correctly and works, add it to the list in the first post of this topic.

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work. :cry: On clicking the sharing button, WeChat was called up but with no more reaction.

I searched “wechat url scheme” on Chinese Internet, the results indicate that WeChat doesn’t support this kind of deep link any more since 2 or 3 years ago.

I think the changes that were made to the share dialog a couple months back might’ve broken this #theme-component. It doesn’t appear to be working.

I installed this plugin but it is not showing in my plugin list.

  1. I added the plugin to my app.yml (- git clone GitHub - discourse/discourse-social-share)
  2. Then I rebuilt the container (cd /var/discourse, ./launcher rebuild app)

I am not sure why the plugin is not showing up on the list

This is a theme-component.
So you need to follow How do I install a Theme or Theme Component?

Thanks @Moin. I will try that

The component still works, but only on public sites. Some time ago we disabled the ability to share posts and topics on social providers when the sites are private.

I just updated the OP accordingly.

Thanks a bunch! The #plugin was causing a bunch of conflicting issues with my forum. Now I know why! :sweat_smile:
