SocialConnect

SocialConnect is the only Joomla extension that allows you to integrate your Joomla site with social networks and identity providers for user authentication, posting content directly to social networks and 3rd-party comment system integration.

Features

Let your users register to your website with their social profile from Facebook, Twitter, Google, LinkedIn, Github, WordPress.com, Microsoft (Outlook.com, Hotmail, SkyDrive, Windows Live, Windows Phone & Xbox Live), Amazon, Disqus, Foursquare, Instagram, StackExchange, SoundCloud & Tumblr.

AutoPost to Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn right from the Joomla article or K2 item edit forms!

Add Facebook Open Graph and Twitter Card tags on each K2 item or Joomla article to make your content even more social media ready.

Enable Disqus or Facebook comments on your K2 items, Joomla articles, Virtuemart or RedShop product pages.

Avatars for your users from their social profile, K2 or Gravatar.com

Better login and registration pages, with multiple layouts to choose from. Users also get a customizable landing page after login.

Easily check how many concurrent users browse your site and see who's logged into your site and from which social network.

Easy to configure with a simple, yet elegant "status" dashboard in Joomla's backend.

Use the SocialConnect Twitter module to display one ore more streams of tweets for any Twitter account & style it the way you want, unlike the official Twitter widget which is too "design restrictive" when it comes to embedding.

 

Beautiful & customizable frontend

SocialConnect comes with a set of predefined layouts to use right out of the box - or customize anyway you like. Consistency between the component & module layouts make your user "not think" and thus easier to engage with your e-shop, forum, community or other type of site that utilizes user engagement. Check out the available component and module layouts below for more.
NextPrev
  • Remember that ugly login page in Joomla? Now you can forget about it. A simple layout that can easily fit any Joomla template design - distinct blocks for the available user actions. Don't make your user think. Make it easy for them to join your site. The layout you see here is one of the 3 bundled with SocialConnect.
  • The second layout gives more focus to the registration process. Like the first layout, it allows you to have an optional descriptive text communicating to your users why they should sign up/register to your website.
  • The 3rd layout is a variation of the first one and it's ideal for single-column layouts. The optional welcome text in on the left of the sign-in block, while registration is at the bottom. Perfect for minimal designs or for clear focus on the registration/sign-in process.
  • Like the component, the SocialConnect module comes with 2 layouts as well. A compact layout that reveals the login/registration actions for your user, which can easily fit on your site's header or toolbar. The official K2 website uses the compact layout at the top-right.
  • ...And an "expanded" layout, ideal for using SocialConnect in the sidebar of your Joomla e-shop or forum. The layout is generic enough to easily fit any design. Maintaining a consistent login block across your site will not make your user wonder "where" they login when browsing through the pages of your site.
 

Integrates with all the major social networks

 
 

Post to Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn 
right from the Joomla backend

Posting to Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn just got easier. No need to use an external paid service like HootSuite or Buffer to cross-post your content to these social networks. No need to bother managing users for such services. Just have your content authors post directly from the Joomla article or K2 item edit forms directly to your social media accounts in Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn. It's that simple!
NextPrev
  • Share panelSelect the networks you want to share to and optionally append some custom text.
  • You can switch to the horizontal layout of the sharing panel, anytime.

SocialConnect v1.10.0 released

SocialConnect v1.10.0 is now available to download for subscribers. This new release improves compatibility with recent API changes in Facebook and LinkedIn.

Here's what's been added or changed in SocialConnect with the release of v1.10.0:

  • Facebook authorization in SocialConnect's settings will now render both your personal account as well as all Facebook Pages that you have access to (for posting content). Listing pages broke due to a recent change in Facebook's API. Additionally, all API calls will now use v2.12 of their API.
  • LinkedIn login and auto-posting now both use version 2 of the LinkedIn API - this also resolves auto-posting to LinkedIn failing because of the deprecation of version 1 of their API. Please keep in mind that posting directly to LinkedIn company pages is not yet allowed by the LinkedIn API.

To refresh your integration with either Facebook or LinkedIn, simply re-authorize your accounts from the SocialConnect settings.

As a reminder, 2 new options were added in the previous release (v1.9.0) under "Advanced Settings" ("Enforce HTTPS" & "Enforce absolute URL when posting to social") which address edge cases where social login failed (namely in sites behind CloudFlare that utilize "Flexible SSL") or auto posting failed (the shared URL was rendered relative instead of absolute).

 

DEMO

The JoomlaWorks website as well as the K2 website both utilize the latest release of SocialConnect.

 

DOWNLOAD

If you have an active SocialConnect membership, just head over to the Member Dashboard at https://www.joomlaworks.net/members and grab your copy from your "Subscriptions" page.
