Sharing on social networks

You can choose which pages are shared, on which networks and how share buttons are displayed and where. The implementation is careful to add just what is needed to a page like the tags in the <head> section of the document which are read by search engines and the code in JavaScript required to interface the server.

Configuration

The type of buttons and the position of the bar for sharing a page on social networks are configured by the parameters $socializing and $socializingmode of the file config.inc.

global $socializing, $socializingmode;

$socializing='inline'; // false, 'inline', 'bar', 'either', 'both'
$socializingmode='lite'; // 'lite', 'awesome'

If $socializing is inline, the bar is displayed at the end of the content of the page.

If $socializing is bar, the bar floats to the left of the page of the site. If the display is too small, the bar is hidden.

If $socializing is either, the bar floats to the left of the page of the site. It's hidden as soon as the display is too small and replaced by the bar at the end of the content of the page.

If $socializing is both, the bar is always displayed at the end of the content of the page but it also floats to the left of the page if the display is large enough.

NOTE: iZend Bootstrap always shows share buttons in the page, i.e. inline, and $socializing can only be set to true or false.

If $socializingmode is lite or awesome, the bar displays buttons which call the interface of the service with a URL. In this mode, no JavaScript code is loaded and run by the navigator. The display is therefore faster but no counter is available. If $socializingmode is lite, the code displays icons in the buttons. If $socializingmode is awesome, the code uses a character font to draw the logos of the services.

To use another set of icons, replace the file social.png in the folder images/theme and edit the CSS for the tags #socialbar and #sharebar in theme.css.

IMPORTANT: When $socializingmode is set to awesome, make sure the CSS file of Font Awesome is loaded by the navigator by editing the view head.phtml:

<?php if (true): ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v7.2.0/css/all.css" media="all" />
<?php endif; ?>

You can copy the CSS of Font Awesome in a folder font-awesome in the folder css at the root of the website and modify the URL in the tag <link> in head.phtml.
