patrickavella's sandbox: share_bar

Share bar is a responsive sticky social media bar that provides a number of different social media "badges." Badges can be turned on and off as well as reordered. Share bar is placed on your Drupal site as a block. When the screen is wide enough to display the bar it floats in a fixed position. When the screen is too narrow to display share bar it will revert to a static position in the block it was originally placed in.

Because Share Bar sticks to an element rather than to a static position on the page. This means it's compatible with fluid or responsive themes like Omega.

Because Share Bar exposes its self as a block, it's easy to assign it to a particular region or restrict to a particular content type.

Share bar supports the following social networks

• Twitter
• Facebook
• Tweetmeme
• Google Plus
• Linked In
• Stumble Upon
• Reddit
• Digg

Knowledge about the CSS selectors in your theme is required to properly set the sticky element. In a Zen subtheme this is normally #page, but in a bartik theme you may want to stick it to #sidebar-first, please consult the source of your theme for the best css selector to stick to.

By default the share bar has a solid white background when sticking, and has a transparent background when static.

Recommended: place the share_bar block in your content region either above or below your actual content.

Similar Modules

There is a similar sandbox, with a very similar set of features found here http://drupal.org/sandbox/SocialSEO/1154376

Future of Share_Bar

Due to another sandbox project already existing with similar features I am no longer actively developing share_bar unless there's interest in either the use of or the approach of this module.

There are no plans for a 6.x branch.
