Requirements

• SilverWare

Installation

Installation is via Composer:

$ composer require silverware/social

Configuration

As with all SilverStripe modules, configuration is via YAML. Page settings for sharing are applied using the included PageExtension class, allowing sharing to be disabled for certain pages.

Usage

This module provides a SharingComponent which can be added to a SilverWare template or layout using the CMS. A SharingComponent renders a series of social media sharing buttons for the current page, allowing the user to easily share the page with others.

Included with the repository is SharingButton, which forms a base class from which to extend sharing button implementations, and EmailSharingButton which renders a button for sharing the current page via email.

Buttons can be added and removed using the site tree as children of SharingComponent.

Disabling Sharing

After installation, this module adds a "Sharing" section to the Settings tab for pages, with a "Sharing disabled" checkbox. Simply check this box for a particular page, and the sharing component will not be shown. By default, sharing is disabled for ErrorPage instances.
