Hi there,

I've an issue where share this shares the body text of items of the sidebar instead of the body of the node.
Is there a way to fix this?

example:
If I would share a from this page http://www.bird-rotterdam.nl/stage/agenda/thelonious4-plays-monks-music
it will get the body text of the side block newest news item... ?!
I can't figure out why..

Any help would be appreciated :-)

Hi. I was having this same exact problem reported to me, but I couldn't reproduce it until last night because the widgets were acting differently for authenticated users as opposed to anonymous visitors. For authenticated users, everything worked correctly. I'm using ShareThis 7.x-2.4.

But for anonymous visitors, when they clicked to share the content while viewing a node, ShareThis was using content from a node listed via in right sidebar (included via Views) and not from the node they were viewing. I was able to resolve this by changing how ShareThis was included on the node. When I changed from Block inclusion to $links inclusion, everything got corrected for anonymous visitors.

So to summarize, incorrect text:

  • For anonymous visitors. Authenticated users saw no problems
  • When included as a Block. Switching to $links corrected the problem

Hope that helps some.
