CopyNShare: Available to All Publishers!

February 26th, 2013
 

 

If you haven’t heard, CopyNShare is now available to everyone!

What is CopyNShare?
It’s the new ShareThis widget feature that allows you to measure text and address URL copy-and-shares on your website.

How does it work?
ShareThis adds a special #hashtag at the end of your address bar URL to keep track of where your content is being shared on the web, from Facebook, Twitter to emails, etc. See Example 1. When a user copies text within your site, a “See more: yourURL.com#SThashtag” will appear after the pasted text. See Example 2.

How do I get it?
For new publishers, you can get this feature in step 3 in the Get Sharing Tools flow.

If you already have the ShareThis widget installed on your site, there is no need to do anything cause you already have the text copy-and-share feature. If you want the address URL feature, just update your code as follows:

<script type=”text/javascript”>stLight.options({publisher: “INSERTYOURPUBKEY”, doNotHash:false,
doNotCopy:false,hashAddressBar:true});</script>

Now you’ll have copy-and-paste text and address URL features.
