Yes. I would prefer a lighter- and more elegant design integration for social sharing ... However, we may need to add an option for add_this because of all the options it offers ...

May I ask, were you mainly thinking of "share" for the current page, or share for images (and basically everything)?

Sharing is definitely an important feature we will be adding soon. We just want to integrate it so it does not clutter the interface ... Stay tuned!

As makeshift - works :roll:

May I ask though, is your main wish to have a sharing feature available to share each page? ... or do you want social sharing buttons on each and every image in your galleries also, regardless of layout style (grid, slideshow, carousel etc)? These features are very different in terms of integration.

Social buttons in each photo it is better(at full-size display), according to one photo you get to an album.
But the blog - all page.

I will look into this in the end of the week, or early next week ...

It is easy to add "page sharing", because the sharing buttons can easily be placed, and they simply share the page. It is more complicated for images, because we need to figure out where to add the sharing buttons, and also where the share-link should go to ... Since images aren't displaying on unique pages, we would need to either A) Share the direct link to the image, which would be outside the website or B) Share the link to the page that contains the image (but not the image itself).

I noticed this feature (separately the photo)
It is possible to stop on the button for the page, and not to complicate a code
but this function isn't so important now, I found makeshift
Russian iptc/exif symbols.. :roll:

Do you have a link to an image in your website with dysfunctional IPTC/EXIF? I would like to get the image so I can do some testing ...

Ok, so I spent several hours digging into this issue, and I found out the following. First of all, it works nicely when I add the meta data:
Image

I spent a few hours seeing if there was something in the PHP code which could fix it first, but there is something seriously non-standard in your EXIF/IPTC encoding. How are you adding the data? I tried iconv conversion, mbstring, but the best I could get from it when using mb_convert_encoding, was the following output:
Code
Ìàñòåðñêàÿ Äðóãîé Ðàêóðñ; Äèìà Õîäîñîâ
I then proceeded to download the EXIFTOOL application for diagnosing EXIF+IPTC data, and here are my findings:

First, lets read the encoded charset of MINE:
Code
macbook:9.exif karlward$ ExifTool -IPTC:CodedCharacterSet mine.jpg
Coded Character Set             : UTF8
YOURS (it returns nothing, no encoding):
Code
macbook:9.exif karlward$ ExifTool -IPTC:CodedCharacterSet yours.jpg
(empty)
Let's try to read the ObjectName of MINE:
Code
macbook:9.exif karlward$ ExifTool -IPTC:ObjectName mine.jpg
Object Name                     : привет из Москвы
YOURS (something obviously wrong):
Code
macbook:9.exif karlward$ ExifTool -IPTC:ObjectName yours.jpg
Object Name                     : Ìàñòåðñêàÿ Äðóãîé Ðàêóðñ; Äèìà Õîäîñîâ
If i try to do the same with yours:
Code
macbook:9.exif karlward$ ExifTool -IPTC:ObjectName="привет москва" yours.jpg
Warning: Some character(s) could not be encoded - yours.jpg
    1 image files updated
Then try to read it:
Code
macbook:9.exif karlward$ ExifTool -IPTC:ObjectName yours.jpg
Object Name                     : ?????? ??????
OK, lets try to set CodedCharacterSet=utf8 on your image:
Code
macbook:9.exif karlward$ ExifTool -IPTC:CodedCharacterSet=utf8 yours.jpg
    1 image files updated
Try to set title again ... works!
Code
macbook:9.exif karlward$ ExifTool -IPTC:ObjectName="привет москва" yours.jpg
    1 image files updated
Reads properly now!
Code
macbook:9.exif karlward$ ExifTool -IPTC:ObjectName yours.jpg
Object Name                     : привет москва
Basically this is related to the application you are using to store the IPTC data. Whereas it should be "UTF-8", your application isn't setting any charset at all ... Since it isn't setting any charset, it can't even be converted in PHP. I think it can be solved if you set a default IPTC encoding from the application you are using. This is specifically related to your images, and I can't "convert" it from the X3 PHP. I was reading some posts about this, and it could be related to using old software like PS7 (or if your images are old) ... Here are some very related topic:
