I am adding fb shared button in application using the docs at Share Button. Its working fine, but I want to share the current page's URL in facebook. For example:

<div class="fb-share-button" data-href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/" data-type="button"></div>

I want to fill my current URL href section, how can i achieve this

http://localhost:3000/news/view/2

This is my URL, here id changing each time, instead of developers.facebook.com how can I add my URL id here.

    @XYZ_deve ok, if you want href like this href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/2", do this href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/ + #{params[:page or article whatever it denotes 2]}" – Alok Anand Apr 05 '14 at 10:56

Rails > 3.2 request.original_url

Rails 2: request.url

Use request.original_url and change that code as:

<div class="fb-share-button" data-href="<%= request.original_url %>" data-type="button"></div>

As per Share Button Documentation, data-href parameter contains the URL which one wants to share, above will just do the same.

<%= %> embeds and evaluates Ruby code inside your template. So, it will enable you to share your current page using FB share.

Hope that helps

  • Even the other link you specified uses same method; I see no reason why it shouldn't work. Can you update the question with the markup generated after u made the above change? – kiddorails Apr 05 '14 at 13:45

    @XYZ_deve It's little hard to decipher what you want to convey with that. Can you update your question with the screenshot of the screen and pastebin the complete HTML markup of that corresponding page? It may help us :) – kiddorails Apr 06 '14 at 06:18
