Content Sharing (externally)

This component allows to share public content of your site - like posts, blogs, polls or images - with someone else or other communities.

It will add a Share Link entry below the content supposed to be shared, and when clicking this entry a link of a shareable page is copied to your clipboard and may be pasted anywhere.

enter image description here

The shareable page will look like:

A click on the green button at the bottom will redirect the visitor to the frontpage of your community, allowing her/him to become a member and participate. The first login will redirect the new member directly to the original content.

Thanks for contributing, Estee.
Simply send your zipped translation to [email protected]

Dear ~Z~ Man, good day. Sorry to bother you. I have translated the needed file into Ukrainian (I am checking now for possible mistakes. It'll be ready in 1-2 days). How could I send it to you or where it needs to be sent?
Thank you in advance.

Yes, spinner appears with the pop up and will not disappear after I click the OK button. But at least I can click the OK button now.

That means: There's still that spinner?

I want to thank you again for such hard work on this.

Thank you, Z. The modal still appears big, but I fixed it here by a manual edit to messageboxphp:

Thanks, William.
I will release a new version in about 1 hour.
It will take care of the correct flow in case FirstTime Login and/or Login Redirect components are installed in parallel. And I applied a little change to the modal box - maybe this will do the trick.
Installing GreenByGreen won't help.

Z, I do not have the same issue with Add Group. I can select Add Group and the modal pops up with no spinner. I am assuming that this action does not generate the same background activity and this is why. Maybe this is because with Add Group, their is no "Newsfeed" in the background. Do you think there would be a difference for me if I switched over to your GreenbyGreen theme? I doubt it because its the issue...but maybe if the modal was smaller there it would work.

@~Z~ Man... WOW! Dude! I just put in 2.5 and... well... you're a miracle worker! this is like 99.5% perfect! The 0.5% is Only because I would like the green button on top, but that's just my preference. Other than that... WOW! I can actually post usable content directly from my site on my promotional page on fakebook! That is amazing! My users are gonna love this, too, as I have had a few requesting JUST THIS, with usable content, that they can use to share to convince friends to come! THANK YOU!

Maybe... maybe... meet me in the middle and put a green button on top AND bottom? <<ducks and runs for cover>> LOL!

William,
do you have the same issue when calling the Ossn->Add Group function?
(which is using almost the same modal popup code)
