I'm trying to use the AddThis javascript Social plugin in an AngularJS App, but It does not updates the addthis plugin icons when I load a partial with ng-view. If I refresh the page it does (ctrl+F5) . I think AngularJs loads the partial views via Ajax an in that case addthis does not show the social icons of the loaded page.
This is the index code:
<header>
.....
</header>
<div>
<section id="content" ng-view></section>
</div>
<footer id="footer" ng-controller="footerCtrl">
...
</footer>
This is the partial view that loads in the section tag ,where i have the addthis icons:
<div class="ad-col" >
<p ng-bind-html-unsafe="homeContent.promo.entradilla"></p>
<br />
<br />
<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style">
<a class="addthis_button_facebook"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_twitter"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_linkedin"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_google_plusone_badge"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_pinterest_pinit"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_compact"></a>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style"></a>
</div>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->
</div>
Of course, i have the script reference fot AddThis in the Home page:
<script type="text/javascript">var addthis_config = { "data_track_addressbar": true };</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-5113c1e01aaacb3f"></script>
I have the jquery script reference before angularJs reference:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.0.4/angular.min.js"></script>
Thanks in advance.
I have created the simple AngularJS directive to refresh AddThis toolbox defined inside the dynamically included partial
angular.module('Directive.AddThis', [])
/**
* AddThis widget directive
*
* Usage:
* 1. include `addthis_widget.js` in header with async=1 parameter
* <script src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=<pubid>&async=1"></script>
* http://support.addthis.com/customer/portal/articles/381263-addthis-client-api#configuration-url
* 2. add "addthis-toolbox" directive to a widget's toolbox div
* <div addthis-toolbox class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style">
* ... ^
* </div>
*/
.directive('addthisToolbox', function() {
return {
restrict: 'A',
transclude: true,
replace: true,
template: '<div ng-transclude></div>',
link: function ($scope, element, attrs) {
// Dynamically init for performance reason
// Safe for multiple calls, only first call will be processed (loaded css/images, popup injected)
// http://support.addthis.com/customer/portal/articles/381263-addthis-client-api#configuration-url
// http://support.addthis.com/customer/portal/articles/381221-optimizing-addthis-performance
addthis.init();
// Ajax load (bind events)
// http://support.addthis.com/customer/portal/articles/381263-addthis-client-api#rendering-js-toolbox
// http://support.addthis.com/customer/portal/questions/548551-help-on-call-back-using-ajax-i-lose-share-buttons
addthis.toolbox($(element).get());
}
}
});
Usage example:
<html>
<head>
<script src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=<my-pubid>&async=1"></script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div addthis-toolbox class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style">
<a class="addthis_button_facebook"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_twitter"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_google_plusone_share"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_compact"></a>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style"></a>
<script type="text/javascript">var addthis_config = { "data_track_clickback": false, "data_track_addressbar":false };</script>
</div>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->
</body>
</html>
Default widget code from addthis site should also work, just remove &async=1
and addthis.init()
.
You can use a similar approach to control other addThis functions, such as addthis.button()
, addthis.counter()
etc.
