First time asking here, but after losing my head over this problem for the last days, I had to ask for your help. Basically I need to create the classic social media buttons on a German site, and XING is quite popular there, so I need to do it for it too.
For this project there also needs to be a working counter of the number of shares/likes, and that wasn't a problem for Facebook and Twitter, I just used jQuery to get JSON from graph.facebook.com and urls.api.twitter.com, but XING doesn't seem to have something like that!
On their site they do offer a pre-built Share button just like the others do, and that one has a share counter, but I need to use my custom design.
I even tried to get that default button, hide it and grab the share-counter value to use in my button, but without success, it gives me either UNDEFINED or just nothing.
But I know there must be a way to do it because, for instance, this site does have a working share-counter for XING with a custom style: http://t3n.de/news/recht-homeoffice-620969/
Do you guys have any idea on what I should try?
