Social Share

Adds share buttons to every post in Contensio. Four buttons out of the box - no configuration, no database, no admin UI needed.

Supported networks:

• X (Twitter)
• Facebook
• LinkedIn
• Copy link (clipboard API with visual confirmation)

Requirements

• Contensio 2.0 or later

Installation

Composer

composer require contensio/plugin-social-share

Manual

Copy the plugin directory into your Contensio installation and register the service provider via the admin plugin manager.

No migrations required.

How it works

The plugin hooks into contensio/frontend/post-after-content, a render hook point that fires at the bottom of every post's <article> element (after body blocks and custom fields, before the article closes):

Hook::add('contensio/frontend/post-after-content', function (Content $content, ContentTranslation $translation): string {
    $url   = urlencode(request()->url());
    $title = urlencode($translation->title ?? '');
    return view('social-share::partials.buttons', compact('url', 'title'))->render();
});

The hook receives the Content and ContentTranslation model instances so the plugin can access the post title and current URL.

Styling

The buttons render inside a <div class="mt-10 pt-8 border-t border-gray-200"> wrapper. Each button is a plain <a> or <button> with Tailwind utility classes - they adopt your theme's font and spacing automatically.

To override the button appearance, publish the view or target the elements in your theme's CSS:

/* Example: make share buttons match your brand */
.contensio-share-wrap a,
.contensio-share-wrap button {
    border-radius: 999px;
    background: var(--color-primary);
    color: #fff;
    border-color: transparent;
}

Or override the Blade view in your theme:

resources/views/vendor/social-share/partials/buttons.blade.php

Disabling specific buttons

To remove a network, publish the view and delete the relevant <a> block. Alternatively, fork the service provider and pass config flags through to the view:

Hook::add('contensio/frontend/post-after-content', function (Content $content, ContentTranslation $translation): string {
    return view('social-share::partials.buttons', [
        'url'      => urlencode(request()->url()),
        'title'    => urlencode($translation->title ?? ''),
        'show_x'   => true,
        'show_fb'  => false,  // hide Facebook
        'show_li'  => true,
        'show_copy'=> true,
    ])->render();
});
