What is considered the best method for 'like' buttons (same for twitter and google+) so that multiple pages use the same one?
If i have an article spanned over several pages, it's giving each page a unique like button and i want it to be the same one. I'd also like to try an automated solution if you know of one.
Using wordpress, I'm currently thinking of using a custom field to input the url directly, but that's not as automated as I'd like. What is the solution?
Currently thinking this might be the easiest:
<?php
//Attempt to get page one of a reviews url for social bar on extra review pages.
$socialfield=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'social_url', true);
//if isset & not blank else use the_permalink()
$socialfield=(isset($socialfield) && $socialfield!='')?$socialfield:the_permalink();
where 'social_url' is the custom field.
then do this:
<div class="fb-like" data-href="<?=$socialfield?>" data-send="false" data-width="450" data-show-faces="true"></div>
I just wish for a more automated method or at the very least confirmation that this is probably the best way to go.
