Social sharing not working

My posts are in a repeating group and I want to be able to share any post on FB, Twitter, etc. I have also created a sharepost page where if I click on any post, I am taken to this page to show only that post. The user name is used a slug for the sharepost page.

What I want is this - When a user clicks on the social media share button, that particular post should get shared, preferably without having to go to the sharepost page as described above.

I used the icon widget and chose Facebook. I then wrote a workflow that takes me to an external website. Then from the site https://www.sharelinkgenerator.com/ I get the main URL part for FB

Redirecting... and after this I add my link in the form of

https://www.myapp.com/sharepost/ current cell’s post slug.

However, the link that is getting posted on FB is my main website link, site name and title that I added in the settings->SEO/Metatag. The post that I want to share is not getting shared.

Is there anything wrong in the URL I am posting?

Thanks

The page in which you are sharing (The one in which your page content is presumably set to a post) you’ll need to adjust the SEO settings within the page itself. Not in the app settings section.

tried, but not working.

Without screenshots or editor I don’t think there is much more anyone can help.

If you’re not comfortable sharing, I’d reach out to bubble support.

How can I share the editor? Never done it before.

Settings > Application Rights > Everyone can view

Then copy & paste the url from your browser.

Hi, please see the attached snapshots. The one with sharepost in the title is that of the url page called sharepost that I have created. This URL is working fine if manually posted in the browser. The other one is of the workflow I have written for the facebook icon (present in every post and all posts are in a repeating group). Ideally I want the facebook share to happen without even going to the sharepost page. It should happen from the post itself but perhaps the sharepost page is necessary.

I’m assuming the open in external website workflow is dynamic and your just providing this for example purposes? That url is not valid. As in it’s missing the colon.

You shouldn’t need to go to that page just to share it, provided that it’s content type is the type of which you are wanting to share.

Please ignore the earlier facebook icon workflow image and see this one.

And you’re working in the development correct? Dev and live databases are separate.

Next thing to check is your privacy settings.

Yes I am in development. I have checked the Post table’s privacy settings and it says ‘this type is visible to everyone’ so I don’t think privacy is a issue here.

The privacy would have to do with the user as well. By default bubble places the privacy setting as the creator only being able to see their info. So the slug might be inhibited by that.

In development all data types are publicly visible. Is there anything hidden for slugs and posts?

No.

Sorry, without seeing the setup I can’t be of more help.

Okay, I will post it shortly.

Hi here is the url

In the testlinkfeed you will find a FB icon on the left of the red colored. you can see the workflows and also see the sharepost page.

Thanks for sharing this idea. It is really helpful for wilbur soot.
