3sides - Social Sharing Widget

Found a great post in the community that needs to be seen by your friends or network on other social channels? Easily share the post by clicking on the social icons right next to the post or underneath the post details.

This widget will add social icons on any page the widget is added to. This will allow community managers to give their users the option to directly share community posts to other social channels by one click on a button. Channels enabled by default: 

  • Facebook
  • X (Twitter)
  • LinkedIn
  • WhatsApp

Example of the widget underneath the blog post details:

How the solution works

After easily importing the widget, saving it and drag and dropping it to the page, the widget will become available to the users.
By clicking on one of the icons the post link and preview will be shared to the user's social feed.
Before posting, the user can add a description to the post.

It's a nice way to promote sharing of your community (posts) to external sources which may result in more traction and higher number of visitors.

Note: Functionality works best with Open communities. If you're working in a gated community, post preview and details will not be shown after posting on socials.

    For Twitter and WhatsApp you can, for Facebook and LinkedIn you can't.
    Important to know is that the moment you hit one of the social icons it will bring you to a new tab and log you in to your social account, from there, you can share the post

    If you have placed the widget on a page, for any type of application/any type of post (forum, wiki, blog, article), it will pull the title of the post, take a summary of the body of the post and if available it will take a post image.Then it will be pulled into Facebook, Linkedin etc and show as a shared item as in the screenshots above. The user can then add his/her own post text to it and directly publish on socials. You can not adjust the shared post image or post text.

    Can you alter the link that the tool shares so that it will have Adobe Analytics or Google Analytics marketing campaign tracking parameters? For example in Adobe Analytics it's typical to append 'CMP=' and for Google it can be 'utm' codes?

    "The social sharing widget pulls the title of the post, a summary of the body/description of the post and the post image if there's any uploaded."

    How can it be adjusted or how does it handle sharing say, a wiki, article or forum thread?

    Good question!

    There's no analytics data available for this free widget as in a community manager does not know how many people clicked on share to Facebook or share to LinkedIn for example. You can use google analytics and search for the community post and filter to source. Here you can see how many people came to your post via Facebook for example. (so reporting the other way around)

    Is there any reporting feature included in this? i.e. can you report on how many items have been shared, who by,. when and what they were?

    Here's an example of what it looks like after clicking on sharing a post on LinkedIn:

    And sharing a post on Facebook:

    We've not used Open Graph Protocol in this widget.
    The social sharing widget pulls the title of the post, a summary of the body/description of the post and the post image if there's any uploaded.

    Is there an example of what it looks like when you click the share icon and what the result is on the social site? Does this leverage open graph protocol? How does it decide what the thumbnail graphic, title and description text are going to be?
