Share Buttons Bundle

This bundle adds social share buttons into Symfony applications (including eZ Publish 5.x & eZ Platform).

Requirements

• Symfony v2.6 or later.

Installation

This package is available via Composer, so the instructions below are similar to how you install any other open source Symfony Bundle.

Run the following command in a terminal, from your Symfony installation root (pick most recent release):

php composer.phar require ezsystems/share-buttons-bundle

Enable the bundle in app/AppKernel.php file (for regular Symfony application) or ezpublish\EzPublishKernel.php file (for eZ Publish / eZ Platform):

$bundles = array(
    // existing bundles
    new EzSystems\ShareButtonsBundle\EzSystemsShareButtonsBundle()
);

Install additional assets (CSS) for default template (omit this step if you are planning to use custom stylesheets):

{% stylesheets
    bundles/ezsystemssharebuttonsbundle/css/default.css
%}
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{ asset_url }}"/>
{% endstylesheets %}

Configuration

The bundle's configuration depends on siteaccess. This is an example of settings (config.yml):

ez_share_buttons:
    system:
        default:
            # enable only those providers you are interested
            providers:
                - facebook_like
                - facebook_recommend
                - twitter
                - linkedin
                - google_plus
                - xing
            template: default
            
            facebook_like:
                # available options are: standard, box_count, button_count, button
                layout: button
                width: ~
                show_faces: true
                # displays additional `share` button
                share: false
            
            facebook_recommend:
                # available options are: standard, box_count, button_count, button
                layout: button
                width: ~
                show_faces: true
                # displays additional `share` button
                share: false

            twitter:
                show_username: false
                large_button: false
                language: ~

            linkedin:
                # available options are: top, right, none
                count_mode: none
                language: en_US

            google_plus:
                # available options are: small, medium, standard, tall
                size: medium
                # available options are: inline, bubble, none
                annotation: none
                width: ~
                language: en-GB

            xing:
                # available options are: square, none
                shape: none
                # available options are: right, top, none
                counter: none
                # available options are: de, none
                language: none

Features

Comments abstraction

ShareButtonsBundle is provider based. This means that it is open to any kind of social share services.

Single entry point

Render your social share buttons with a single line of code.

Available integration

Currently, ShareButtonsBundle is working with the following social share services:

• Facebook like
• Facebook recommend
• Google Plus
• LinkedIn share
• Twitter
• Xing

Usage

Insert the following Twig helper in the place where you want to display the share buttons bar:

{{ show_share_buttons() }}

You can override existing siteaccess configuration for ShareButtonsBundle by adding additional arguments:

{{ show_share_buttons(
   options = {
       provider_label: {
           key: 'value'
       },
       template: 'default'
   },
   providers = ['provider_label']
) }}

More practical example of the usage:

{{ show_share_buttons(
    options = {
        facebook_like: {
            layout: 'button_count',
            show_faces: true
        },
        google_plus: {
            size: 'small',
            annotation: 'bubble'
        }
        template: 'default'
    },
    providers = ['facebook_like', 'google_plus']
 ) }}
