Topic: Short Url - social networks

At the moment of create the juicebox object, a use a parameter for the short url associated to the original url, but when I click the social network share icon, the url that is used it´s the original and not the short url.
How can I do to use the short url in the social share icons? The most important case is Twitter because the original url its too long.

Thanks

Re: Short Url - social networks

It is not possible to change the share URL sent to the social media networks. This data (using the actual URL of the web page) is created by the 'juicebox.js' JavaScript file which is packed and obfuscated and cannot be modified.

We understand that is part of what generates Javascript.
For us it is vital to use a service that shortens urls as urls have very long, so we ask if it is possible

As I mentioned, it is not possible to change the share URL sent to the social media networks.
