Social sharing buttons with auto-post, share counters, and analytics for phpBB.
Social sharing buttons with auto-post, share counters, and analytics for phpBB forums. Adds share buttons for seven platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Telegram, and WhatsApp. Each button opens a share dialog with the current page URL and title pre-filled.
Share counters display the total number of shares for each page, fetched from platform APIs and cached locally. Auto-post can publish new topic announcements directly to Facebook and Twitter. Share tracking records all shares in the database for analytics.
The ACP provides full configuration: enable/disable each platform, choose button position (top, bottom, or both), select button style (icon, text, or icon+text), set cache time, and configure auto-post. A statistics dashboard shows total tracked posts and total shares.
