Get image URL (jpg) - Add Social Sharing to Single Image Pages

charlie.choc · 2017-07-07 06:45:56

In ttg_single_bottom I can figure out how the get the URL of the image php file but is there and easy way to get the URL of the actual image itself?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, the image name or any additional image data are not exposed by the phplugins API. But at least from the page URL, it is easy to derive the image filename and then create the image path.

Thanks. I was hoping I could be lazy and not have to parse everything. ?

Little coffee break exercise. Might not be the most efficient, but it works:

function ttg_single_bottom( $style, $path) {
   
   $img = substr(strrchr(substr($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], 0, strrpos($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"],"-single.php")), '/'), 1);
   $imgpath = substr($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], 0, strrpos($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"],$img)) . 'photos/' . $img . '.jpg'; 
      
   echo '<a href="'.$imgpath.'">'.$imgpath.'</a>';
}

You are not working on 'share to social media' buttons by chance?

Thanks for the code and, yes I am. I can share the php link to fb and g+ but some need a link to the jpg itself.

Hey Charlie, would you mind to share your code that you came up with? Thank you!

This is probably a little clunky but it seems to work ok.

function ttg_single_bottom ( $style, $path ) {

$actual_link = "https://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";
$img = substr(strrchr(substr($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], 0, strrpos($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"],"-single.php")), '/'), 1);
$imgpath = substr($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], 0, strrpos($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"],$img)) . 'photos/' . $img . '.jpg';
$imgfullpath = "https://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$imgpath";

echo '
<div id=social-align>
<a class="icon" target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u='.$actual_link.'" title="Share on Facebook">
</a>
<a class="icon" target="_blank" href="http://www.twitter.com/intent/tweet?url='.$actual_link.'" title="Tweet">
</a>
<a class="icon" target="_blank" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url='.$actual_link.'" title="Share on Google Plus">
</a>
<a class="icon" target="_blank" href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url='.$actual_link.'&media='.$imgfullpath.'" title="Share on Pinterest">
</a>
<a class="icon" target="_blank" href="http://stumbleupon.com/submit?url='.$imgfullpath.'" title="Share on Stumbleupon">
</a>
<a class="icon" target="_blank" href="mailto:?subject=An image you might like&body='.$actual_link.'" title="Share via email">
</a>
</div>

';
}

Thank you, Charlie!

Charlie, there was a missing '/' in the stumbleupon.com link. I fixed it in the code you posted.

charlie.choc · 2017-08-13 06:00:51

Thanks Daniel, I should have caught that.

Somehow it works on your site, but didn't on mine.

FWIW, this is the css styling I used:

#social-align
{
text-align: right;
float: none;
padding-right: 24px;
}

#social-align.icon {
display: inline-block;
}
