CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I'm sure that people have accomplished this, but I've been bashing my head against the wall.  For example, I used:
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u={mailing.viewUrl}" target="_blank">
<img alt="Facebook" src="location/to/facebook/icon" /></a>but, since the parameters of mailing.viewUrl are ?reset=1&id=##, Facebook reads only the reset and loses the id #.

And, for Twitter, when I use
<a href="http://twitter.com/share?text=Main%20Subject%20&url={mailing.viewURL"><img alt="Twitter" src="location/to/the/twitter.gif" /></a>the editor replaces & with & and it's ignored by Twitter.

Has anyone gotten these two buttons to work?

Short-term solution for me is a hack (working through creating a custom token vs. hacking civicrm core), but what I found to work is to create a new token called {mailing.viewUrlSS} (or whatever you want it to be), identifying it in CRM/Utils/Token.php  and adding the following:
      case 'viewUrlSS':
        $value = CRM_Utils_System::url('civicrm/mailing/view',
          "reset=1%26id={$mailing->id}",
          TRUE, NULL, FALSE, TRUE
        );
        break;

This allows me to use {mailing.viewUrl} for my permalink and this additional token for social sharing.
