Use social share icons in a custom module

Asked by jan95 4 years ago Last activity 4 years ago

Hello,

How can i use the SP social share or joomla share default feature in a custom module to be placed any where in the website ? i tried to copy the generated html code but it come with the actual url of the page where i take the code, it need to be dynamic.

any tips please ?
Btw, i dont have the same style of article social share buttons when i activate the feature on the template, i missed some thing ?

Hi Jan,

Possible > inside Custom Module you can put differnt module, it was possible even in Joomla 2.5

  1. Check if you enabled Joomla core plugin: Content - Load Modules
  2. Read tips/description from it
  3. In Custom module paste short code and Options > Prepare Content: Yes.

otherwise you cannot use shortcode to "load" module.

You can also find & install extra Social Share module (from Joomla Externsion Directory) and use it instead of those above tricks.

Thanks a lot, i'd seen lot of social share extensions but dont prefere charge more the website, using whats already integrated into the template is better i think, not ?

If you want to have more social icons that our extension/template has to offer, maybe you have to use extra one.
