Hi there. Thank you for providing this extension. I am trying to install it for my blog; however, I am getting the following error. I think it has something to do with the SSL certificates.

ERROR: TypeError: error sending request for url (https://codeload.github.com/schochastics/quarto-social-share/tar.gz/refs/heads/main#undefined): error trying to connect: invalid peer certificate contents: invalid peer certificate: UnknownIssuer

How can I resolve this issue? I am on a Mac. Thanks!

Hmm hard to say. I feel like this is not an issue that comes from the extension (just tried to install myself). I will investigate though

So, I cloned the repo first and then did a local install by quarto install extension quarto-social-share. It worked! However, when I included it in the YAML header of my post, the share buttons were at the very bottom of the page, even below the footer. I expected it to be at the bottom of the post above the comments section. Is there any setting that I can tweak?

This is trickier than it sounds (at least for me). The code to insert the buttons is here. The includeText method doesnt allow many different parameters for where to insert the buttons. "after-body" does it at the very end, at that is unfortunately below the footer. I probably need to implement this myself in a different way but given that everybody will use different templates this might get complicated
