##Social Media Share Counts In development and not complete.

DBS-Share-Count is an efficient way to add social media share/like counts to your WordPress project. Uses WordPress Transients for caching and allows you to write your markup the way you want to.

####Quick Use

Include dbs_share_count.php in your functions file.

require_once("dbs_share_count.php");

Instantiate the class on the template you want to display your share count data on.

$options = array(
	"share_url" => WP_SITEURL . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], // Default - Required
	"share_title" => get_the_title() . " at @the_most_awesome_company", // Optional
	"share_text" => "Check out " . get_the_title() . " @the_most_awesome_company", // Optional
	"twitter_summary" => "Check out " . get_the_title() . " @the_most_awesome_company", // Optional
	"media_url" => $share_media, // Optional
	"timeout" => 4 // Optional
);

$sharecount = new DBSShareCount( $options );

Add this to your template file.

<li class="facebook">
     <a href="<?php echo $sharecount->get_share_url('facebook'); ?>" title="Share on Facebook">
       Like <span class="count"><?php echo $sharecount->get_count('likes'); ?></span>
   </a>
</li>
