mergPopActivity - URL not sharing

Post by ToddFabacher » Sat Apr 16, 2016 2:37 am

We are using mergPopActivity, but we have an issue. The pop-up share appears, but there is no URL. We were experiencing issues with long URL, but we use bitly.com to shorten it. No matter if I click message, Facebook or twitter - the pText appears, but the URL never does?????

Code: Select all

command showShareOptions pText, pImagePath,  pURL
   replace " " with "%20" in pURL --replace space
   
   --If the length of the URL is 
   --put the length of pURL into tLength
   if tLength > 75 then
      put getShortURL(pURL) into pURL
   end if
   
   --Get out is not mobile
   if the environment is not "mobile" then 
      exit showShareOptions
   end if
   try
      mergPopActivity pText, "", pURL
   catch tError
      answer tError
   end try

Someone ask for me to post the getShortURL code. Here it is... But please help with mergPopActivity. You will need to setup an account as a developer. Thanks to Gurgen on our team who did a great job on this.
