This module does exactly one thing: Post the title and full URL of a node to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or FriendFinder, along with a standardized prefix (which defaults to "currently reading this").
Usage documentation is definitely from the "UI documents itself" school; alas, it doesn't, really.
What you do is select which social media venue you want to "share" to by clicking the "Share It Everywhere" link associated with a node, selecting checkboxes and clicking the submit button. You don't get an opportunity to specify text to go along with your shared link, which means that your shared content is very sub-optimal for sharing: People you share it with do not get a fair chance to see what you're sharing.
Associated with each node there's also one of those ubiquitous "gear" widgets that's supposed to indicate configuration. It's unclear why it's there, as it seems to afford teh ability to configure an aspect of the entire module.
Install documentation is actually not bad. The Readme has detailed steps that, if you follow, will take you to a working install.
Execution of the module is a little spotty: It's possible to install it with critical libraries missing, and if you do that you won't be able to use Drupal until you either add those libraries or manually disable the module. Even after you manually disable the module, you won't be able to uninstall it until you add the OAuth library. This strikes me as poor error-trapping, and makes me wary of the rest of the module.
I recommend finding another solution. A dumb third-party sharing widget like AddToAny, ShareIt, etc. is actually going to provide you with more optimal sharing than this, and more control over what you're sharing as well.
The module focuses on the standards of social networks connectivity. I downloaded it, installed it and boom!!! it works like a charm. Thanks for having this module in the repository. Some changes are required but I hope those will be covered soon.
High Expectations here. Exactly what I need. However, Documentation poor and not fulfilling in relation to creating an FB app. If you never created an FB app before, you may be intoodeep. For now I am left with 100s of questions and a crashed site. I rip'ed out the entire module of the install to recover my site, luckily it worked.
Doc - describes activation of FBML. I have simply not been able to locate where this url goes. I have a radio button for activation of FBML. Is that it?
In other words. Impossible to set up accurately based on what is here. If not accurate ... site crash!
Is this a virus or a module?
I have not been able to test features yet, for obvious reasons. I may come back for a re-review once things start going in my direction.
