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.

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.
