How to get plain readonline url

aijosh

Since the share buttons are not available I need to implement link sharing for the newsletters.
I tried using {readonline}{/readonline} but that renders an html link.

How do I get just the url so that I can append it to the various sharing snippets for social

That tag will create a real URL once you save the email

You are repeating my question.

I need the plain url (https://example.com/newsletter......) itself not the html code (<a href ="https://example.com/newsletter......)

The tag outputs html code.

I just need the url.

I also don't believe you patiently tried to understand my question before responding.

You just right click the link I marked in my screenshot and copy it.

I did patiently try to understand your question. That is why I gave you the answer which can help you

Ok. Maybe I didn't explain my self clearly. I've repeated my question twice now.
Let me explain a little more detailed.

I have a newsletter
I have an icon that says "🔵 Share"
When the users open their newsletter they are meant to click this button to share the newsletter.

|||| This is available by default in Acy5 using the share tags but the social media sharing tags are not available in Acymailing 6 as I was told that it is "coming soon" |||

Pending then I still need to get that button to share the newsletter.

I have this code for the button
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u={readonline}{/readonline}"><img src="share-icon.png"></a>

This becomes

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=<a style="text-decoration: none;" href="https://example.com/component/acym/archive/10-email-subject?userid=1-y24iUAuKG6ahhv&tmpl=component" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VIEW ONLINE</a>&zwj;"><img src="share-icon.png"></a>
You see the problem?

I need it to become
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://example.com/component/acym/archive/10-email-subject?userid=1-y24iUAuKG6ahhv&tmpl=component"><img src="share-icon.png"></a>
As you know the readonline link is generated per user so I cannot copy the link from one user (as you suggested) and paste that into the newsletter for everyone to use.

I hope this is clearer?

Hi,

I think that we already concluded that sharing feature is not yet implemented and you just can't do it the way you tried to do it

I am really sorry but you will have to wait until the feature is implemented

Thank you for understanding!

Igor
