Hello. I have found a pretty big problem with the "social share" function.

#1
the twitter button is not creating the correct link to the post. instead it creates a link like http://mysite;com/index.php?option=com_easysocial

Same for google

Same for Linkedin

Facebook works good and I have not tested other functions yet but 3 of the 4 more important social share button don't work correclty. Please help. I rely on this function very much.
I have the same issue on 2 websites with easysocial version 1.3.30 & 1.4.2


#2 Also there are some problems with the backend layout in version 1.4.2 Please see this screenshot. http://awesomescreenshot.com/0bd5bipe97

Please advise
Hey Camron,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is actually a public day off for us here. It is most likely that the back end seems messed up for you because your browser is caching on the old css file. Clear your browser's cache and it should work fine

As for the issues with social share, I have applied the fix for your site and this will be fixed in 1.4.3. Also, please be reminded that you need to set an active domain to your license at http://stackideas.com/dashboard .

I see twitter works good now but linkedin and google+ still are showing wrong url, image and metadata.

Also Could you please tell me how I can apply these changes to my other website (licensed domain v 1.3.30).
I have made some customizations to that version and can't update so often. (Everytime I install a full update my changes are overwritten)

Thank you

Hey Camron,

I have updated the files for the site myfloozy.com in /administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/sharing/vendors/ . You just need to copy the files across

Also, do take note that the Pro license only entitles you for support for 1 domain only. If you need additional domain support, please consider upgrading your license to the Unlimited version

Great, thank you.
I see only Facebook, twitter, linkedin and google+ work correctly now.
Will the other social networks be fixed in update 1.4.3?
