:target: https://coveralls.io/github/fcurella/django-social-share?branch=master

Provides tempatetags for 'Tweet This', 'Share this on Facebook', 'Share on Google+' and 'mailto://'.

Installation
-------------

::

$ pip install django-social-share

Add the app to ``INSTALLED_APPS``::

INSTALLED_APPS += ['django_social_share']

You will also have to add ``django.core.context_processors.request`` to your ``context_processors`` list. This way the templatetags will use the correct scheme and hostname::

TEMPLATES=[
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates'),
],
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': [
'django.template.context_processors.request',
],
}
},
]

Usage
-----
::

{% post_to_facebook <object_or_url> <link_text> %}

{% post_to_gplus <object_or_url> <link_text> %}

{% post_to_twitter <text_to_post> <object_or_url> <link_text> %}

{% post_to_mail <email_subject> <text_to_post> <object_or_url> <link_text> %}

{% send_email <subject> <text_to_post> <object_or_url> <link_text> %}

``<text_to_post>`` may contain any valid Django Template code. Note that Facebook does not support this anymore.

``<object_or_url>`` is optional. If you pass a django model instance, it will use its ``get_absolute_url`` method. Additionally, if you have ``django_bitly`` installed, it will use its shortUrl on Twitter.

``<link_text>`` is also optional. It defines the text used for the ``a`` element. Defaults to 'Post to Facebook' and 'Post to Twitter'.

``<subject>`` may contain any valid Django Template code.

::

{% post_to_twitter_url <text_to_post> <object_or_url> %}

Will add a ``tweet_url`` variable to the context, containing the URL for the Twitter sharer popup.

::

{% post_to_facebook_url <object_or_url> %}

Will add a ``facebook_url`` variable to the context, containing the URL for the Facebook sharer popup.

::

{% post_to_gplus_url <object_or_url> %}

Will add a ``gplus_url`` variable to the context, containing the URL for the Google+ sharer popup.

::

{% send_email_url <subject> <text_to_post> <object_or_url> <link_text> %}

Will add a ``mailto_url`` variable to the context, containing the URL for the ``mailto``anchor.

Example::

{% load social_share %}

{% post_to_facebook object_or_url "Post to Facebook!" %}
{% post_to_twitter "New Song: {{object.title}}. Check it out!" object_or_url "Post to Twitter" %}
{% post_to_gplus object_or_url "Post to Google+!" %}
{% send_email object.title "New Song: {{object.title}}. Check it out!" object_or_url "Share via email" %}

Templates are in ``django_social_share/templatetags/post_to_twitter.html``, ``django_social_share/templatetags/post_to_facebook.html`` and ``django_social_share/templatetags/post_to_gplus.html``, ``django_social_share/templatetags/send_email.html``. You can override them to suit your mileage.
