NEW: Mobile Social Share Buttons - Mobile Joomla! Module

Friday, 12 April 2013 00:00

Here's the latest addition to the Mobile Joomla! modules: JQuery-based Mobile Social Share Buttons module! This extension is available now for Mobile Joomla! premium users (Elegance, Pro, or Club users).

Mobile Social Share Module - Mobile Joomla!Why did we build it? Most social sharing plugins and modules are quite heavy and slow to load on high-latency mobile connections. We wanted to offer something better.

So we built a lean new module, based on the SocialCount jQuery plugin by Filament Group Lab. The new module uses two or three small HTTP requests to the server (particularly, 1 for CSS style, 1 for JavaScript, and 1 optional request for counts) instead of a lot of requests to APIs of social networks. This improves the loading time considerably.

The new Mobile Joomla! social share module displays social sharing buttons for Facebook, Twitter and Google+, and supports all Mobile Joomla! templates (including Elegance in AJAX mode).
The module features these advanced settings:

  • Select which social network buttons to display
  • Hide/display social network icons on the button
  • Set button size: small, medium, or large
  • Display share counts
  • Use Like or Recommend action for Facebook
  • Set Twitter share text
  • Load jQuery library (can be disabled if your template or other extension loads it)
