Greetings. My use case requires social media links to be available on nodes as well as for site and user profiles.
IE: User has a personal facebook profile. User created node (perhaps for their business) may also have a facebook link - probably to a facebook page.

Is it possible to add CCK support to this module && would you be willing to add this feature?

Thanks kindly.

This can be accomplished by adding Views support to the module.

Please see #1419474: Add Views to D7 version of Follow for a patch and sample view that lists Follow links for a node author.

Since #1419474: Add Views to D7 version of Follow has a working patch that solves this use case, I'm closing this as duplicate. It solves with Views instead of CCK but that's a more flexible approach.

I'm not so sure. My point was that an authors' identity is different to a node's identity.

That's true, it's not a duplicate then.

This would definitely expand the scope of the Follow module. While this functionality is not possible now with Follow, to fit the use case you can already use CCK+Views to solve this problem. Follow does add a unified icon set (though that could be duplicated with themeing). The regex in Follow does ensure youtube links stay as youtube links, etc, but this can also be accomplished with Advanced Link. With that sort of approach, you also have a lot of freedom to decide how the follow links integrate with your content, whether in blocks, via Panels, in the tpl, etc.

I'm not crazy about this. It would require quite a bit of refactoring of the code to accomplish, and once done, I have a feeling that the extra functionality would be confusing to site builders. Setting to won't fix.
