Neue Buttons

[kroerig]

Hallo!

Ist es geplant neue Buttons aufzunehmen? z.B. Mastodon?

[fritzmg]

Do you know the sharer URL of Mastodon?

[kroerig]

It seams that this is a bit tricky. You need a share link that belongs to the instance of the user sharing the content.

[fritzmg]

Hm, yeah, that's not really feasible then I suppose.

perhaps this helps:

Threema?

[fritzmg]

@Anke I do not understand the question. Please provide more details.

I was trying to suggest adding a Threema-Share button

[fritzmg]

Do you know the share URL?

// edit: I think it should be https://threema.id/compose?text=Hello https://threema.ch/en/faq/url_actions

[Anke]

threema://compose?text=[z.B. URL]

Ohne die id wird die Threema Kontaktliste geöffnet und man kann auswählen, an wenn man schicken will.

threema://compose?text=https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaggen-Bestimmungsschl%C3%BCssel

schickt den Link an Threema. Kenne mich nicht genug aus, um adhoc sagen zu können, wie zb ein Seitentitel mit übergeben wird.

Just have a look at the sharebuttons_default template, e.g. for WhatsApp:

contao-sharebuttons/system/modules/sharebuttons/templates/sharebuttons_default.html5

Line 24 in 35a5794

<li><a class="whatsapp" href="https://wa.me/?text=<?= $this->description ? $this->description . '%0A%0A' : '' ?><?= $this->url ?>" target="_blank" data-action="share/whatsapp/share" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-escargot-ignore title="<?= $this->lang['share_on_whatsapp'] ?>">WhatsApp</a></li>

Ha, great! Didn't think of that. I used to use Shariff some time ago.

According to Threema support https://threema.id/compose?text=Hello will lead to a Threema website with a button to open Threema on the device and offer download links for people not having Threema installed.

The link threema://compose?text=Hello will open Threema directly. However, it seems Contao doesn't accept this network protocol. Usig it in a HTML element, I get a 404. Using it in a hyperlink element, the webites base url is preceding the threema url like so: https://mywebsite.com/threema://compose?text=Hello.

Is there any way to make Contao deal with a url like threema://compose?[...]?

[fritzmg]

I am not sure what you mean. Please post your sharebuttons_default template.

I didn't add it to the template. I wanted to try to get the link to work the way I want it to, first. If I would add it to the template it would probably look like this:

<li><a class="threema" href="https://threema.id/compose?text=<?= $this->description ? $this->description . '%0A%0A' : '' ?><?= $this->url ?>" target="_blank" data-action="share/threema/share" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-escargot-ignore title="<?= $this->lang['share_on_threema'] ?>">Threema</a></li>
But like I say, this detouring link is not what I have in mind. I'd like to use href="threema://compose?text=[]".

The data-protecting solution Shariff by Heise is using these direct url's for Threema and Whatsapp:

shareUrl: 'threema://compose?text=' + encodeURIComponent(title) + '%20' + url + shariff.getReferrerTrack()
shareUrl: 'whatsapp://send?text=' + encodeURIComponent(title) + '%20' + url + shariff.getReferrerTrack()

If you want to use a custom protocol like this then there are more steps you need to take within Contao in order to be able to fill in something like that in a HTML element in the back end. However, this has nothing to do with this issue or this extension.

Then just use that? ;)
