The modules provides a configurable block that display links (icons) to your profiles on various popular networking sites.
With this module, a website can be quickly extended with a "Follow us" functionality. Or you make the block available for your site editors, and they can configure the social networks themselves.
Features:
- Choose from various icon sets and different sizes
- Support for Panels. Use multiple Social Media Links Blocks via Panels (only Drupal 7).
- All settings can be made via the block ui (no other permissions to the user is required).
- Add new social networks or icon sets (via hooks)
Current supported Social Networks:
- Youtube
- Google+
- …
Drupal 8
The Drupal 8 version is a complete rewrite to use all the new stuff and possibilities (e.g. the plugin system).
New Functionality: Social Media Links Field (8.x-2.4 and higher)
With the new submodule "Social Media Links Field" it is possible to capture the links to various social media platforms via a field. In the field settings you can specify individually which platforms are available in a field.
The module has two Field Widgets:
- A list of all available platforms (combined in one field)
- One item per field (or multiple via field cardinality) and the platform is selectable from the user/editor.
New icon sets?
If you know some icon sets (I prefer sets with an open license) that you would like to see in the module? Then please create a new issue and provide some information about your favorite social media icon set.
