 * Hi,
 * I’ve been struggling with this question for a while and altho there’s some topics
   regarding this subject I’m not sure how to implement it. It’s regarding social
   buttons on homepage sharingthe articles clicked on.
 * I have to use `<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" >var bShareOpt 
   = {url: "<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>"};</script>` which shows the permalink
   of the last ID instead of the link clicked on. If I add the post_id number `<?
   php echo get_permalink(2926); ?>` it shows the correct post.
 * Now this is because it happens outside the loop.

 * Using `get_queried_object_id` or `get_queried_object` is apparently another option
   to do so.
 * But unfortunately my PHP knowledge is very limited in order to glue the pieces
   together. I appreciate any help!

 * Hi,
 * Using the `get_queried_object_id()`-function is indeed an option here. Beer in
   mind that this will fetch the ID even if its a term/archive/other.
 * You could do it like this:
 *     ```
       <?php if( isset( get_queried_object()->ID ) ) : ?>
       <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" >var bShareOpt = {url: "<?php echo get_permalink( get_queried_object()->ID ); ?>"};</script>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * You should also check out the `wp_localize_script()`-function, which can be used
   to pass parameters from PHP to your Javascript.

 * Hi Tormorton,
 * It returns `url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.website.com%2F%3F` So basically just the URL
   it is in without fetching the ID.
 * Thanks, I’ll look into it. Tho my Javascript and PHP skills are not good enough
   to pass the $post_id parameters into Javascript
 * Any thoughts why it doesn’t return the ID?
