Configuring Social Media Network Plug-ins

You can configure Legacy Content Delivery to share pages on a public internet site with other users in social media networks. By default, these configurations include Facebook, Google +1, and LinkedIn.

About this task

The Share button above a topic displayed by the review server includes a drop-down list that lets users share pages or publications on a public Internet site with other users.

If your public site requires a login, users with whom you are sharing pages must have an account on your system to see the content.

Procedure

  1. If you are on a Legacy Content Delivery page, select Home in the breadcrumb trail.
    The Legacy Content Delivery landing page appears.
  2. In the Administration Tools pane, click Manage Application.
    The Manage Application page appears.
  3. In the left pane, click Global Config.
  4. In the social.enable field in the right pane, click Yes from the drop-down list.
  5. Optionally, to provide access to additional or different social networks, locate the following template in the base html.xsl file: <xsl:template match="DOCUMENT" mode="social">…</xsl:template>, and then copy this template into your html_custom.xsl and home_custom.xsl files. Add or delete social plug-ins as desired.
    • You should retain the mode attribute, set to “social”.
    • Many social network sites provide developer information and sample code to facilitate integrating their plug-ins.
    • The URL provided to social network plug-ins must be public. If the site is a set of Legacy Content Delivery servers behind a load balancer, it is important to use the public (load balancer) URL.
