I'm using Storyline 2 and I'm interested in launching social media sharing (Facebook and Twitter) from the end page of a public online course (published for web and hosted on our website). Has anyone tried this?
I'm particularly interested in pre-populating the image and text fields associated with the share. So, for example, we could include an icon from the course and the text "I've just completed this online course in X..." in the editable text field of the Facebook share.
Is this possible? Any suggestions? I'd love to see examples of where other people have done this successfully.
Great idea Amanda! I did a quick search and do not see relevant information to share with you here, but I'd be interested to know how others have done this as well.
There was some information about Business Pages and Social Buttons here, but the How To links are dead.
Looking forward to hearing from others in the community.
We do this, but we had to do it manually using AddThis code because I couldn't get the script to work in Articulate. Checkout the SBA Learning Center courses at http://www.sba.gov/learning . After you launch, we have social media icons on the very last page of the course. when you click the social media icon, there's a pre-written text.
Thank you Phil, unfortunately neither the Facebook neither the Twitter is working. For example in Twitter you write your text but it does not appear on the Twitter account. And facebook goes to an error page. Could you please help with the updates?

Thanks for sharing Jerry :)
I built a widget that posts to twitter here http://elearninglaboratory.com/portfolio-item/twitter-2/
I am sure I shared the file on here somewhere. As far as Facebook goes the post via url code changed recently and broke the example I built for that.
This thread here provides info and sample source files, incl. Phil's cool Twitter and FB examples.
Thanks Michael, I think the Facebook one is broken it will open window but you cannot write a post.
Hi Amanda! I hope some of these assist you with your project :)
