Hi,

I’m having trouble finding a way to retrieve the data from the link you posted.

It works fine when I pass the access_token through to the URL as you said, and it displays all the current user info in an array.

But is there a way to retrieve this array/data into the .php I posted above?

Array
(
    [result] => Array
        (
            [access_token] => uy8zq1n67kb1bm9ycl5foflbi1vz2einq6cmbjqx
            [expires_in] => 86400
            [token_type] => Bearer
            [scope] => basic
            [refresh_token] => ld5yl7gmpf1bla2wn1rxnd7xkwpjqtdsnbvidupc
        )

    [code] => 200
    [content_type] => application/json
)

Is there any way to retrieve username from this response?

Okay that was really easy, and I’m not great with JavaScript either!

Here’s my code, with a brief explanation in comments for anyone who wants to use this.

(function($) {
$("#crestashareicon").prependTo(".share-article-vertical"); //here is where we move the floating bar, change '.share-article-vertical' with where you want to move it.

fshares = $("#facebook-count").text(); //get facebook shares
gshares = $("#googleplus-count").text(); //get gplus shares
pshares = $("#pinterest-count").text(); //get twitter shares
totalshares = fshares + gshares + pshares; //add all shares

$( "#total-count" ).replaceWith( totalshares ); //replace the spinning loading icon with the total shares
})(jQuery);

Don't forget to turn off <code>fixed</code> positioning for the <code>#crestashareicon</code> element in CSS!

Done! Thanks for the great plugin.

Ok I have thought of a solution.

I can use JavaScript to get the values inside of #facebook-count, #twitter-count elements, which contain the amount of shares for each social network.

Then I will use JavaScript to add these together and replace the animated loading icon with the total number.

I’ll let you know how I get on and post my full solution in-case others would like to use it. This is of course only a hack/work-around for now 🙂

Hi,

Thanks for the speedy response. The website is over at https://sciscomedia.co.uk/proxima-b-habitable-planet/ (that is one of the articles)

You can see the social bar on the side, I have done display:none on #total-shares in CSS so if you inspect element you can remove that and see the problem with spinning loading icon 🙂

Thanks
