Share Buttons - Customize SMS (Text Message) Template

With Shareaholic Share Button templates you can customize the pre-filled message when sharing via SMS.

${title}, ${link}, ${short_link}, ${description}, ${notes} and ${source} placeholder variables are available for the SMS template. These will be dynamically substituted with the actual values. All template variables are optional. You can also use ${meta:____} placeholder variables to substitute from your page's meta tags, for example ${meta:og:title}.

There are two ways to set the SMS template:

1. Codeless method - in the Admin UI, head over to Site Profile -> Settings -> Sharing -> Sharing Settings
   
   
2. Code method - 
   

   <div class="shareaholic-canvas"
         data-app="share_buttons"
         data-app-id-name="post_below_content"
         data-app-config='{
           "templates":{
              "sms":{
                "text":"A little hint that this caught my eye! ${link}",
                "phone":"+16171231234"
         }}}'>
    </div>

   To apply globally:

   _SHR_SETTINGS_CUSTOM = {
      config: {
        apps: {
         share_buttons: {
           templates: {
              sms: {
               text: "A little hint that this caught my eye! ${link}",
               phone: "+16171231234"
             },
           },
         },
       },
     },
   };

If both code and codeless methods are set, code method will take priority.

Tip: If phone is specified, a chat with the person will automatically open. If not specified, a list of contacts that you can send your message to will be shown.
