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).
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)
