Component body

Easily add share buttons to your nodes!

Centered in a single place, you don't need to worry in including external javascript libraries, and enabling several social modules.

Despite a bunch of other social modules, this module fits exactly if you want simple share buttons without worrying about messy configurations.

Easy Social is available both as blocks, attached to nodes, comments and also as a Views field.

The following widgets are included by default:

  • Twitter
  • Facebook
  • Google+
  • LinkedIn

Extend!

Modules can also implement hook_easy_social_widget() to define new widget types:

Example

function mymodule_easy_social_widget() {
  return array(
    'my_custom_share_button' => array(
      'name' => 'My Custom Share Button', // apears on admin pages only
      'markup' => '_mymodule_custom_share_button_markup', // callback function that returns widget markup
      'scripts' => array(
        array(
          'path' => 'http://mycustomshare.com/widget.js', // javascript include,
          'type' => 'external', // 'external', 'module' or 'inline', defaults to 'external'
        ),
      ),
      'styles' => array(
        array(
          'path' => drupal_get_path('module', 'easy_social') . '/css/easy_social_twitter.css', // css include - specify full path
          'type' => 'external', // 'external', 'module' or 'inline', defaults to 'external'
        ),
      ),
    ),
  );
}
