NomayaSocialButtonsBundle

This bundle provides a simple way to integrate a bar of social buttons to share your pages on Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus and Linkdein. You also have a social links bar to networks.

Introduction

I have not found any Symfony2 bundle to respond to this common need: display "share", "like"... buttons with an easy integration into templates. It is intended to evolve :

• manage more networks
• use custom icons
• compatibility with php templates
• suggestions are welcome

Twig extension

The bundle provides a Twig extension for quickly generating the buttons.

// buttons

// Insert the whole bar
"{{ socialButtons() }}"

// Insert only one button
"{{ twitterButton() }}"
// or
"{{ socialButtons( {'googleplus':false, 'facebook':false, 'linkedin':false} ) }}"

// insert the google+ button with custom parameters
"{{ googlePlusButton( {'locale':'fr', 'url':'http://google.fr' }) }}"

// insert the bar with specific values for Facebook
"{{ socialButtons( { 'facebook': {'locale':'fr_FR', 'send':true}} ) }}"

// links

// insert the whole links defined in config
"{{ sociallinks() }}"

// insert one link, no option
"{{ socialLink('facebook') }}"

// insert one link, specifying the url
"{{ socialLink('linkedin',{'url': 'http://www.nomaya.net'}) }}"

// insert custom bar with 2 links, not showing googleplus
"{{ socialLinks({'linkedin',{'url': 'http://www.nomaya.net'}, 'facebook':{'url': 'http://www.facebook.com'}, 'googleplus': false}) }}"
