This module exposes social plugins as ctools content types, which can be added as panes in panels.

Social Plugins supported:
1> Facebook Like
2> Tweet
3> Google Plus

If you would like to use just facebook social plugins, then I'll suggest using fb_social as it exposes various fb plugins as ctools content type.

Why this module:

There are many modules that provide twitter, google_plus widgets but I couldn't find anything that exposes them as ctools plugins and are light weight. For facebook like, fb_social does provide the like button as ctools content type but it doesn't cover other plugins for the right reasons. To use this module, all you need to do is to add the relevant plugin in your panel. Currently, plugins are not configurable and non themable, supporting that will be the top priority.

How To Use:

  1. Enable the module
  2. Go to any panel and add content
  3. You should see Social Plugins category on left, select then and add the plugin of your choice

Views Integration:
Use views_ctools_field to use these plugins in views.

To Do:

  1. Support configuration of plugins
  2. Use theme functions
