This module is designed to serve as hub for social follow/share features. It leverages the power of both the plugin and configuration APIs offering a way to site builders and developers to integrate social networks into a Drupal site in form of Follow us block, share links or even followers o likes counters.
The module is shipped with default plugin implementations and some pre-baked configurations out-of-the-box for most common integration cases.
- Follow: Allow to configure a platform to show a follow profile/account link. The link target is fully configurable and supports the use of tokens.
- Share: Allow to configure a platform to send content to be shared. Currently supports two sharing modes: by URL (default) and using embed code (typically an iframe). Almost all settings support tokens. Also has the ability to include a JS script if required; this script can be included inline (ol' script tag), using a pre-defined JS library (those in *.libraries.yml) or by linking a remote script (internally will be attached as a dynamic library).
- Facebook (follow, share)
- Twitter (follow, share)
- Pinterest (follow, share)
- Whatsapp (share)
- Email (share)
- Copy link (share)
To easy output these platforms with their integrations this module provides both a block and an extra field. The extra field is provided by integrating with EFS module which provides an API to create configurable extra fields per display implemented as plugins. More information about EFS module can be found here.

The module development is taking place in GitHub but the module's issue tracker is used to coordinate the effort. We like to encourage you to check these guidelines on how to create an issue.
- Better Social Sharing Buttons, this module offers a block/template oriented approach for a predefined list of social media with only share capabilities.
- Share Everywhere, this module is pretty similar to
Better Social Sharing Buttonsbut allows icons to be set through configuration, has Views support and also adds more social medias to the list. - Simple Sharer, this module is quite similar than the above but delegates all settings to the block once is placed.
- Social Media, this module offers a block/field approach leveraging the Field API with a predefined list of social media configurations.
- Social Media Links, this module offers the best approach in terms of extensibility since it relies on plugins for both the social media and the icons set, but implements only follow feature.
