Resolved add social icons to content plugin?

Hi,

the content plugin currently provides a way to display e.g. a users avatar > {user avatar 453}

What would make a great addition is a way to display a users social media networks that he connected to his profile > eg {user socialconnect 453}

a use case could be:
On my blogwebsite I offer the bloggers the opportunity to provide 'about this author' text that (in my case) cjblog reads from easy-profile field and displays under each article.
Authors are asking me if there is an easy way of getting their connect with me on facebook, twitter, g+ etc. in that text.
Now they create their own hyperlinks and all do it on their own way so it looks 'crappy'
With this function they could be instructed to input {user socialconnect xyz) (where zyx = their userid) and this tag would get replaced with the social media networks they connected to their profile.

This is just one use case, could sum up some more where this would make life more easier (and maintenance when changing account a lot easier).

What do you think...

Hi,
it is a good idea, we will add this to our todo list.

Also we can build some API to retrieve these buttons with PHP code, like $user->getField('socialconnect') in according with others user fields (http://docs.easy-profile.com/index.php/article/jsnuser-object).

Another good idea is to allow to add these buttons in users list and users table.

Unfortunately we can't add this in next release, it is ready and in testing.

Hi,
we have implemented this in latest version (1.3.18)

Via Content Plugin
{user socialconnect USERID}


Via API
require_once(JPATH_SITE.'/components/com_jsn/helpers/helper.php');

$user=JsnHelper::getUser($user_id);

$user->getField('socialconnect');


In the coming days we will update our documentation :)

If you see this code as output mean that content plugins are not triggered, can you check this?

I think you packed the 'old' plugins in the 1.3.18 package? in none of the content plugins I can find the function that does the replacement...

No, I have just tried on this site and works.

Have you copied the code from this forum? if yes try to delete and write by hand.

Content plugin are always replaced, for example {user non_exist_field 63} return empty value.

Hi,
yes, you have right, we will improve our docs.

Some tip for you:
1. to display user id you can write something like this: {user id raw}
raw is required because ID is not a Easy Profile field but it is in User Object

2. instead write {_user socialconnect.... you can put in HTML editor something like this:
<span>{</span>user socialconnect....


So you can put in your "Tip" field this:
<p>In order to insert in a very easy way links to your connected Social Media accounts (follow me functionality) you can add the following code (without _ before 'user' into your author profile):</p>

<p><b>{</b><b>user socialconnect {user id raw}}</b></p>


NOTE: I have used "b" tag instead a simple "span" because "span" without attributes was removed from the Tiny editor
