RE: When will this be coming roughly?
Hopefully within a month.
RE: What will this entail? Would this be a feature where we can share individual entries in the directory directly to social networks? Or is this a way to add a companies own social media to the entries?
Basically, it’ll have similar option to the field config options of the other fieldsets. Allow you choose which networks are options, if it is a repeatable field, ho many to show by default.
It’ll also allow you to choose the icons and color. Though I image most users should stick with the defaults since there are brands.
RE: We have been trying to implement social media sharing to the entries but are having no luck with the template we are using (Excerpt-Plus) as it doesn’t link to a separate page. They are also reluctant to change templates.
We’ll if you used a template which had a link to the entries profile detail page, you should be able to use a social sharing plugin and it should share the link to that entry and not the parent directory list.
Hope this helps, let me know.
