Topic-icon SCTwitterShare Easy Tag Not Working

It looks like this is embedding exiting Tweets with a Tweet ID, not a way to have twitter construct a fully expanded tweet from the parameter list sent along.

Not sure what you mean here. If you pass a parameter list to show a specific tweet, you'd need to include the ID of that tweet somewhere. Either way, I look forward to hearing your thoughts on what we may be missing.

I know this is a lot of work. Are you making enough off SourceCoast to make it worth your time?

We're doing fine and are always looking for ways to improve our product. New features, great support and keeping things 'just working' keep the business going.

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks Alex I will do what I can. I really have to pour myself into the Twitter and Facebook APIs, not something I had expected I would be doing.

I am thinking more like Aaron Schwartz now. How do we make this world a better place. Can coding help get us there?

Alex. what view file controls the layout of the easy tags? I want to override your table setup.

What table setup do you mean? Please look at the actual source HTML of the page to make sure you're seeing a table. Most social widgets simply have a div around them and then the rest is rendered by the social network's own Javascript (that we don't have control over). If you're using the browser inspector, you're likely seeing the Javascript-rendered code from the social network, which is why you'll want to view the actual source to see what we're really inserting on the page.

If that's still a problem though, let us know the tag or block of code you don't like so we can narrow down where best to look.

Thanks,
Alex

Here is the block of HTML for the Social lMedia buttons:
<div class="sourcecoast facebook like jfbclike"><div class="fb-like" data-href="http://911to.org/911-victim-campbell-his-legal-quest/" data-show-faces="false" data-share="true" data-colorscheme="dark" data-ref="911-victims-legal-quest" data-kid-directed-site="false"></div></div><div class="sourcecoast share twitter sc_twittershare"><a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button"  data-url="http://911to.org/911-victim-campbell-his-legal-quest/" data-count="horizontal" data-via="911TruthOut" data-text="Matt Campbell seeks justice for brother Geoff murdered in WTC 1 on 9/11." data-related="ae911truth,911Blogger,911truth_org,DC911truth,Davis911Truth,Anon911Truth,vernon911truth,911dokumentar,Seek911Truth" data-hashtags="911truth" data-size="small" data-dnt="true">Tweet</a></div><div class="sourcecoast plusone google sc_gplusone"><div class="g-plusone" data-size="standard w" data-annotation="bubble" data-href="https://www.911truthoutreach.org/557-news-releases/471-9-11-victim-geoff-campbell-and-the-legal-quest-for-justice.html" data-align="left" data-recommendations="true" data-callback="plusone_callback"></div></div>

What I want is a bar of social Media button at the bottom of the article that are contained in div's of type display: table, display: table-row, display:table-cell so that they collapse to a column of Social Media buttons on mobile.

And yes you are right this is formatted by the Facebook, Twitter and Google JavaScript. Is there a way I can customize that on our Social Media developer accounts; make custom buttons with custom containers?
