aery

We all know the value to fast loading pages but these social buttons make all our efforts and minutest improvements worthless.
To load the Facebook, Twitter and Google social media buttons page requires total of 19 requests takes 246.7k in bandwidth.

Solution - SocialCount

It is a small jQuery plugin for progressively enhanced, lazy loaded, mobile friendly social networking widgets. With just 2.98KB and1 JS request, 1 CSS request, 1 optional request for icons, 1 optional AJAX request for counts (compared to 25 total requests for Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus widgets)

Now, I am trying to develop a plugin with this. [Please note that I am complete noob here and therefore seeking advice.]

Problem -

The markup has to be placed after event - FireEvent('AfterDiscussion');

The text to be shared is - Data('Discussion.Name')

URL to be shared - ????

Help me out.

Aaaaaand @hbf I have no idea about it

for me, i use print_r to echo out the contents of a class when im not sure whats in it. I suspect you'll find what your looking for somewhere in the long list. if not do a google search on "php request url"

that should get you pretty close.
