This is a small add-on allowing you to create a social block for your sidebar. At the moment it supports Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn, but I'm planning on adding additional social networking site. Suggestions or requests are most welcome.
Enclosed in the zip-file are a bunch of icons from KomodoMedia I found while googling for social media icons. Perhaps some of the local graphics people have, or are willing to design better icons to be used. The included icons are in png format, and are 16 by 16 pixels, but I think 24 by 24 might be best.
Installation instructions:
Upload the contents of the zip to your XF folder, and import the XML file. When that is done, click on Appearance -> Templates -> sidebar_online_users. Insert the following code where you want the Social Block to appear:
In the screenshot, I put it between the Online Staff and Online Users code.
Alternatively, if you use the [bd] Widget FrameWork, instead of doing the above template edit, configure the widget through the Framework.
Configuration instructions:
In your AdminCP, click on Options and find the Option Group [SchmitzIT] Social Block. You can add the identity for your social sites there, turn the individual icons on or off, and select what text should be shown in the title-tag of the images.
Disclaimer:
The add-on is provided "as is", and any express or implied warranties are disclaimed. In no event shall I be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages. In other words, use at your own risk.
Those attempting to hold me liable anyway will be locked in a room with Bob Brisco for three weeks.
Changelog:
1.01 - Added image title tag, and removed the {$xenOptions.boardTitle} from phrases due to that not working.
1.02 - Fixed some minor sloppiness on my end.
1.03 - Added a new admin option for setting the title of the widget.
1.0.4 - Corrected some phrases that somehow ended up looking weird.
Added Flickr and RSS support.
Created seperate downloads for the widget and non-widget framework version.
