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?

@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!!

      Hi gitika ,

       

      we offer the Addthis widget as an out of the box feature to integrate social sharing, but it is definitely possible to customize it or even use an entirely different provider (example: ShareThis) by creating custom components. You can either ask someone to share their work here on the developer forum, or in doubt you can always contact Lithium Professional Services to help and scope this out for you.

       

      Kind Regards,

        Need your expertise here.

        external.widget.add-this widget is working fine in iPhone. But it doesn't work in Android (e.g. Samsung S3).

        When I say not working, the Hover-over DIV with add-this options are not appearing.

        Nothing happens when I click on the Share button.
