django-social-share 1.2.0

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',
            ],
        }
    },
]
