#jSocial ##The Social sharing plugin
###About
jSocial is a Craft CMS plugin that gives the user the ability to add links to share on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+. Not only does it just echo out a link, its almost completely customizable. It has support for things such as custom images, custom classes, font awesome icons, fontello icon sets and just plain text.
###How to use jSocial
First we set up our options (these arent needed but it wont be customized then). So in our template file or desired file and we can do this like so.
{% set options = {
'title': 'foo',
'url': 'http://google.com',
'content': {
'facebook': {
'item-type': 'image',
'value': 'http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130501121248/logopedia/images/f/fb/Facebook_icon_2013.svg',
'class': 'fb',
'size': {
'width': '40px',
'height': '40px'
}
},
'twitter': {
'item-type': 'text',
'value': 'fb',
'class': 'twitter',
'id': 'twitter'
},
'linkedin': {
'item-type': 'text',
'value': 'Linked in',
'class': 'linkedin'
},
'googleplus': {
'item-type': 'text',
'value': 'Google Plus',
'class': 'googleplus'
}
}
}
%}

class
is what will go on the link so if class
= fb
then on the Anchor tag the class would be equal to the class-prefix
+ class

like so:
'content': {

###How to call the function
To echo out all of the links with no options specified
{{ jSocialButtons() }}
This is how you would echo out every link with the options you specified
{{ jSocialButtons('', options) }}
You can select specific links and a specific order by putting the item in the first parameter seperated by |
.
So if I wanted Facebook and Email I would so this:
{{ jSocialButtons('facebook|email', options) }}
or this if I wanted to use the defaults
{{ jSocialButtons('facebook|email') }}
