Social media integration (Fb like, Tweet, Google+, LinkedIn Share)

Hello Stephane, which plugin did you try excatly? Do you have a link? Is it a free download?
Maybe this one? Social Buttons

Hello PepperStreet, Yes I did use Social buttons as you mentioned in your post but it doesn't show on the pages powered by Cobalt i.e. My Joomla based blog page

On this page you can see the social buttons on the bottom of the page Whereas in this above link, you cannot see the social buttons

Kindly Advice. Hope to hear from you Thanks, Stephane/Shankar :)

usualy you like somethign like article. On the list of the articles, like button will lead to where?

Guest Whereas in this above link, you cannot see the social buttons

I just can confirm and repeat Sergey's thoughts.
The social buttons are made for details page/record full view.
It doesn't make sense on the list view. I assume it does not display on a Joomla blog/table either!?

Hello Sergey/Pepperstreet, So my question to both of you is how can share my cobalt powered blog to social media (Fb like, Tweet, Google+, LinkedIn Share)

Let me know, Thanks, Shankar/Stephane :)

Hello Stephane, you have different options:

Ideas & Thoughts

if you want to share single / full-view records, you might have a look at JoomBoost's solutions. Besides some templates with share functionality, he also offers an AddThis field, which you simply add and configure in your Cobalt type. A benefit of the field-based solution is the easy setup, but it also adds extra data to your records!

Additionally have a look at JoomBoost OpenGraph and Twitter related fields.

If you or another helping hand has some coding knowledge, the same could be achieved by editing Cobalt's default templates or by creating custom templates.

Alternatives

If you want to share the entire blog or current page, you might add sharing buttons in a Joomla module. For instance:

• the official AddToAny module and plugin.
  (uses current page URL and title, or custom URL from backend parameter)

• Jextensions FastSocialShare plugin
  (register free account to download! Add shortcode into Joomla custom-HTML module. DEMO)

YES but joomboost things will no longer updated

Guest YES but joomboost things will no longer updated

Ooops, why is this? Do you know more?

Hello Stephane!

You don't need any extension or addon. Simply register on addthis.com and add code to your default_record_default.php and any other template file where you need the share buttons.

You have to add something like this:

<!-- Go to www.addthis.com/dashboard to customize your tools -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-54b2676f1b2ac2fb" async="async"></script>

<!-- Go to www.addthis.com/dashboard to customize your tools -->
<div class="addthis_sharing_toolbox"></div>
