Dealing with < in tw:counturl addthis plugin

I have an addthis plugin for displaying total number of tweets in my blogspot blog. I use it this way If i mention tw:counturl="my_specific_blogger_url" > it shows the exact number of tweets. But the problem is that in that case I can use only one link. To retrieve specific blog page url I use <data:blog.url/>. But if i use it in tw:counturl in the following way:

tw:counturl="<data:blog.url/>" it shows as an error as tw:counturl cannot handle '<' tag. Is there a work around.

The error is as follows The value of attribute "tw:counturl" associated with an element type "null" must not contain the '<' character.

Solution

  • Ok I found the answer to it. You have to add a javascript code to handle it.

    var tweet_button = document.getElementById(&#39;addthis_button_tweet&#39;);
tweet_button.setAttribute(&#39;tw:counturl&#39;, <data:blog.url/>);
