Content Areas and Social Forward Tags

Content Area Wrapping

Use these tags used to wrap social content:

<!-- RegionStart[ socialslot:"Shared content region 1",

    title:"First shared email content",

    description:"This is an example of shared content",

    csskey:"portfolio css 1"] -->

The first line begins the tag and names the social slot. This name is designates the content area for sharing. The second line creates a title for social networks to use when identifying the shared content. The third line creates a short description that will be included in the item posted to the social network. The fourth line identifies any CSS style sheet to use for the item when it is shared to the social network.

This tag identifies the end of the shared social content region:

<!-- RegionEnd[ socialslot:"Shared content region 1"] -->

The name in this tag must use the same value as the beginning tag.

Content Area Sharing

The application uses this AMPscript to create the link using the numeric indicator for Facebook:

<a href="%%=GetSocialPublishURL('1','Shared content region 1')=%%" alias="Social Forward to ShareThis - SharePasteHTML" title="Publish to ShareThis"><img src="Go to your Portfolio/Social Forward Folder and copy URL for the Social Forward Icon" alt="ShareThis" border="0" title="Insert Title Here"></a>

In this example, replace the phrase Social Network with the number of the social network you wish to use and Shared content region 1 with the name of your shared social content region. You can also change the alias, alt, and titles to whatever is most appropriate for your content. Finally, place the URL for the image you want to use in the link in the img src tag.
