Social Settings
This page covers the Settings → Social Settings page. It configures the module's built-in social sharing buttons — the channel icons in the share area of the album detail page. Share Settings, by contrast, configures pushing a post to the DNN Journal social feed when an album is published; the two do not affect each other.
The Display Share switch in the skin options (PhotoAlbums Detail panel) controls whether the share area is shown.
Basic Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Theme | Three button layout styles (style 1 ~ style 3), chosen from preview images, default style 2 |
| Size | The size of the share icons, 8 ~ 24, default 16 |
| Shares | Check the share buttons to display. Available: Email, Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Pinterest, Stumbleupon, Pocket, WhatsApp, Viber, Messenger, VKontakte, Telegram, Line |
| Popup | Whether the share page opens in a popup window |
Click Update at the bottom of the page to save.
How this differs from the other sharing pages
Social Settings (this page) configures the share buttons on the front-end album detail page — no third-party service registration needed, just check the channels. Share Settings configures pushing a post to the DNN Journal social feed when an album is published. Version 8.x additionally offers a third-party AddThis sharing tool (see Sharing).
