URL for Social sharing on post footer not working

[sarathlal-old]

The social sharing on post footer have some URL issues.

If I use {{ post.url}} instead of your {{ page.url}}, it is not working. I want to manually add my home URL with {{ page.url}} in sharing code.

Like http://myhomepage{{ page.url}}

Now my code look like,

<a class="icon-twitter" href="http://twitter.com/share?text={{page.title}}&url=http://sarathlal.com{{ page.url }}" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'twitter-share', 'width=550,height=235');return false;"> <span class="hidden">Twitter</span> </a>

Even in Kasper demo, the links for social sharing are broken.

To make it work, first specify the url parameter in _config.yml, as it needs to be hard coded there.
Then, swap {{page.url}} in the social links, since it clearly doesn't work, with:

{{ site.url }}{{ page.url }}

{{page.url}} spits out only the last part of the adress, i.e. example.com/2013/post, which is why it wasn't working properly. After you add the lacking piece of the puzzle, it's done.

I also recommend completely changing the Twitter part to something akin to:

<a class="icon-twitter" href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=&quot;{{ page.title }}&quot;%20{{ site.url }}{{ page.url }}%20via%20&#64;TWITTERHANDLE">

where TWITTERHANDLE - your nickname there. This way you lose the popup behaviour but gain "via" and it works flawlessly.
