Thanks Sekhar with sharing this block with the community. While testing the functionality and reviewing the code, I detected some issues that should be clarified and fixed prior approving the plugin in this directory. I am going to mark this as needing more work for now. Thanks for your patience with the review and approval process.
Thanks for verifying the plugin. I have fixed the errors raised by the bot.
I just noticed your message on GitHub. I will work on it asap.
I am still new to plugin reviewing, so I'll leave the code review for David, but will comment on Usability and Meta-data.
I install using the low-tech .zip file method.
My environment: Apache, MySQL, Moodle 2.8.5+, Firefox 39, Mac OSX
Usability
Installation: plugin installed from the .zip without error.
Dependencies: None
Functionality: Did not give any PHP errors.
Block displays correctly, and links work as expected.
Cross-DB compatibility: I only tested on MySQL
Meta-data
Plugin description: The description “SocialShare" seems appropriate (although I wonder if SocialShare buttons might be more descriptive?
Code repository name: Name follows standard Moodle plugintype_pluginname format.
Source control URL: OK
Bug tracker URL: OK
Documentation URL: OK
Illustrative screenshots: Simple and clear
Licensing: I don't see any issues regarding licensing here.
Subscription needed?: Not applicable
I think this is a plugin that will be very useful on the more open and public type Moodle sites, and it makes it very quick and easy to share a page
Thanks Sekhar for an updated version and thanks Stuart for the usability review. I am happy to go and approve the plugin now. There is one more thing I forgot to mention yesterday. I think the Description field here should be elaborated to describe the block functionality in more details - such as what URL sharing scopes are available etc.
With the hope this will be fixed soon, you are cleared to land. Welcome to the plugins directory!
I installed latest versione of the plugin on Moodle 2.9.2. It's all working fine except for Facebook sharing button: it show a popup window for sharing BUT it shows "Error" as text embedded from page (the Twitter one instead correctlt reports the name of the course and the link).
Any idea?
Thanks!
I installed latest this plugin. It's all working fine except for Facebook sharing button: it show a "Error" .
How to fix this error.
Thanks!
sharing course content is not properly displaying the data in social media... just displaying the site name, but url leads to the respective content.
how to overcome this ?
