Description Ed Veal 2015-11-30 14:24:17 UTC
Can Instagram and Pintrest be added to the social media links. It is nice that each link has an identifying css tag so that would need to be added to the new links. Also it might be nice if they were attached to a sys pref where you could choose which to show rather than relying on css/jQuery.

I think all social media links should be made to be controlled by some kind of setting.

+1 for Ed's comment. This seems like the kind of thing where a sysadmin should be able to pick-and-choose from a list of known social media platforms.

I wonder whether there mightn't even be a way to allow for new platforms by having a field to input the appropriate URI for posting content (since any site that has a RESTful API should be compatible with that method of posting in a consistent way), point to the favicon, and provide the name of the network.

That would be awesome! :)

I agree with Owen, this should be a setting of some kind.

There is a setting now to control exactly which social networks will display. Pinterest and Instagram sill missing.

Instagram doesn't have sharing tools as far as I can tell. I'm not sure how that would even work.

Pinterest is so image-oriented that I'm not sure how useful it would be in cases where there weren't a cover image

Hm, I wonder if we should close this WONTFIX for now - I am not sure if there could be a legal problem using the cover images even?
