HI AWI,

Have you ever seen YouTube share link on any website?

If yes, please share example URL.

Some Social Networks does not allows that. That's why only serveral of them allows share.

Totally different is Social Links and Social Share links.

About Custom One, you can always create your own Social Share code.

Please check features of >> https://sharethis.com/platform/share-buttons/

there should be also Joomla Module from it on JED.

Hi PAul

It looks like you didn't check my site??!!
Actually SP PB offers it!!! But only in the Menu. But aslo like to share it in the footer!
You also can check my actual site (to be replaced):
https://awiance.ch/

So please check again and adjust the "Social Share" Element in SP PB like in the Menu.
Should be an easy task.
Thanks!

Perhaps we didn't fully understand each other, that's all.

You can use SPPB Modules in Template module positions. Just create a New SPPB module > add Social Share addon inside and them publish it somehere.

I don't see any Social Icons in Menu.
I saw only sticky social icons sticky module (on right top) that is not from JoomShaper.

ad 1) You can use it only inside SPPB Module

ad 2) I don't associate it with ours. Ask the person who originally did the site.

ad 3) We used custom Social Icons module there, no FA icons but SVG.
As I said before those are just links to Social Media, not Social Share links.

ad 5) Use Icons Group addon - it allows you to add many FA icons and put custom links (URL).

ad 4 & 6 ) As I said before it's not possible to have YT and Instragram Social Share.

Currently, some social media platforms (such as Instagram or Tik Tok or YouTube) restrict their API and therefore it isn’t possible to share content across an endpoint through an application outside their environment.

Hi Paul

This line:

As I said before it's not possible to have YT and Instragram Social Share.

answers my question. I need an Instagram Social Share option. Is it something we can expect in the future?

Regards,

Francois

OK, it's working now. maybe the naming of the addons can create confusion..
Thanks.
