Social Buttons: How to Choose Your Preferred Social Networks (Pro)

This article covers social sharing for the players, which is a Pro feature and is not included in the Free subscription. For a look at how Pro compares to Free, go here.

Choosing Your Social Networks

Here's how to customize which social sharing buttons (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) appear on your full player, track player, and sticky player.

There are two methods available to do this:

1. While using the shortcode builder
2. Manually adding a text string to your shortcode

However, for the sticky player, you can adjust your social networks in the settings (Fusebox Player > Sticky Player > Social).

Using the Shortcode Builder

The full player and track player shortcode builders allow you to select which social sharing buttons appear on the player.

To customize social sharing using the shortcode builder:

1. Verify that Social Sharing is set to On.
2. Next to the Social sharing buttons, check the social networks you would like to display.
3. Set up the other elements of the shortcode as desired. (For the full tutorial on using the shortcode builders to set up the full player, go to this post; for the tutorial on setting up the individual track player, go to this post.)

Choosing the Social Sharing Buttons Manually

To select the social buttons manually, you'll need to add two items to your [fusebox_full_player] or [fusebox_track_player] shortcode:

1. First, turn on social sharing by adding this to your shortcode:
   social="true"
2. Then, add in your preferred social networks:
   Twitter:  social_twitter="true"
   Facebook:  social_facebook="true"
   LinkedIn:  social_linkedin="true"
   Pinterest:  social_pinterest="true"
   Email:  social_email="true"

Here's a sample shortcode with Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest social sharing:
