How to get metrics for social actions (broken down by social network, based on URL)?

    I have a question - I have a client project that I needed to break down different social actions (i.e. facebook share, tweeting, +1 etc) across different subsections on my site (so I had to filter it by the URL in social entity).

    I used to be able to do this with the previous revamp of "social" with social actions. It looked like this:
    [TABLE="width: 1419"]
    [TR]
    [TD="width: 426, align: left"] [TABLE]
    [TR]
    [TD="width: 426"][/TD]
    [/TR]
    [/TABLE]

    [/TD]
    [TD="width: 201"]Total[/TD]
    [TD="width: 181"]1. print : share[/TD]
    [TD="width: 181"]2. email : share[/TD]
    [TD="width: 202"]3. facebook : like[/TD]
    [TD="width: 103"]4. facebook : share[/TD]
    [TD="width: 125"]5. hotmail : share[/TD]
    [/TR]
    [TR]
    [TD="width: 426"]Social Entity[/TD]
    [TD="width: 201"]Social Actions[/TD]
    [TD="width: 181"]Social Actions[/TD]
    [TD="width: 181"]Social Actions[/TD]
    [TD="width: 202"]Social Actions[/TD]
    [TD="width: 103"]Social Actions[/TD]
    [TD="width: 125"]Social Actions[/TD]
    [/TR]
    [TR]
    [TD="width: 426"]blahblahblah URL
    [/TD]
    [TD="width: 201"]9[/TD]
    [TD="width: 181"]3[/TD]
    [TD="width: 181"]4[/TD]
    [TD="width: 202"]1[/TD]
    [TD="width: 103"]0[/TD]
    [TD="width: 125"]1[/TD]
    [/TR]
    [/TABLE]


    Now I can't do it at all, it seems. I can apparently still filter down by URL but not get the actions broken out per social network. I can get # of actions broken out per social network but not based on URLs (i.e. not across the entire site).

    The reason why the URL string is important to me is because the site is structured in a special way and each subdomain needs to have reporting specific to that section.

    What can I do to make it work for me?
