Share light

This module defines a block with various share links - javascript free and stylable. It provides a new fieldtype, so you just need to add a new field to where ever you want your sharebox. Out of the box it allows to share a configurable url via facebook, twitter and email.

Features

• JS free and stylable: No privacy issues; Share buttons that fit your design perfectly.
• Pluggable: Add additional channels (facebook, twitter, email, …) as needed.
• (optional) Google-Analytics integration: Send tracking events to google-analytics whenever a share-button is clicked (needs the google_analytics module).

Usage

1. Install and enable the module.
2. Place the share_light block (using the core block interface or using context).
3. (optional) activate/deactivate channels in the admin section
4. (optional) Add the share_light field to some of your content-types to make the buttons more customizable.

Shipped channels

• Facebook
• Twitter
• Email
• Pinterest

… other channels can be added with via the channel-plugin system.

How to add channels

1. Implement hook_share_light_channels_info() to register your channel classes.
2. Create channel classes implementing \Drupal\share_light\ChannelInterface. You can use \Drupal\share_light\ChannelBase for a convenient starting point and take a look at the existing channels in the src/-subfolder of the module.
