gitika - To add the share buttons, you need to use the following widget to the Forum Message page

 

<@component id="external.widget.add-this"/>

 

the URL to reach the forum message quilt in studi is 

 

/t5/bizapps/bizappspage/tab/community%3Astudio%3Apage-editor?page=ForumMessage

 

go to XML and add <@component id="external.widget.add-this"/>

 

In case you want to show the numbers also along with the fb, twitter icons, you'd need to ask Lithium professional services.

    Thank you Alok. So basically there's no way I can myself add 'individual' FB, Twitter, linkedin sharing buttons with numbers on Studio? The code you gave is for the single 'share' button with all the social media options. Right?

      Right, but it's not that you can't add external custom buttons, they can be added but if you have the entire custom widget. We have done so in one of our community but that is currently on stage.

      @gitika, in fact you can do this by using the custom plugins, if you need more info, i can share the code for this.

        Thanks a lot Alok for answering my concern. It would be great if you could share the code for that, as I am clueless about how to go about it. Thanks again!!
