Lightgallery: Social share button

[ghost]

Greetings, is there a way to add a social share button to the link of the page with gallery or any desired link to be shared inside the gallery?

Adding a share button would be great.

You can use https://www.addthis.com sharing tools.

Add

<script type="text/javascript">
// always refresh on URL change
window.addEventListener("hashchange", function () {
  addthis.layers.refresh();
});
</script>

before the tag to make sure that URLs are relevant. If you want to show sharing icons only in the lightbox, add the following to your CSS:

body > div > div#at-share-dock {
    visibility: hidden;    
}

body.lg-on > div > div#at-share-dock {
    visibility: visible;    
}

@sachinchoolur do you plan to add lg-share.js to jQuery version of the plugin?

[sachinchoolur]

Hi Sachin,
I too am looking for this feature and have sent you an email... I see you have it incorporated for the .js version... would it be very difficult to add it to the jquery version?

This plugin looks really great (still tweaking the settings) and the only thing lacking that would make it really fantastic is the social media sharing! Thanks, Kirsten

I believe it would be a great idea, lg-share.js and some options to tweak it.
Most of the other plugins they have this option, and I think this library is the best of the best, so why not!!?
