Overview

Description

This application allows administrators to manage shared social links centrally, control where they appear, and offer members their own profile-level social presence where enabled.

The application also adds support for eBay, Mastodon, Patreon, Reddit, Snapchat, Strava, Telegram, Threads, and WhatsApp, while allowing fully custom social networks to be created using Font Awesome, SVG, or a standard image.

Rather than relying on scattered template edits or one-off theme customisations, Social Profiles Enhancer keeps social output self-contained within the application, making it easier to manage across the front end and AdminCP.

Bonus! The sidebar widget has 5 different layouts: pill buttons, compact grid, icons row, spotlight list and metro tiles.
