Many many corporate websites have links to their social networks on thier sites like tweets, Facebook updates or Linkedin profiles. The Moyo social media package has a number of components and modules that handle and display such data.

At the time of writing, only the Twitter and Facebook APIs have been implemented.

• Joomla 3.X or 2.5.
• Koowa 0.9 or 1.0 (as yet, Koowa 2 is not supported)
• PHP 5.3.10 or better
• Composer
• lib_oauth, installable through PEAR shudder

Installation is done through composer. In your composer.json file, you should add the following lines to the repositories section:

from this local repository;

{
    "name": "moyo/com_social",
    "type": "vcs",
    "url": "https://github.com/kedweber/com_social.git"
}

or alternatively from;

{
    "name": "moyo/com_social",
    "type": "vcs",
    "url": "https://github.com/moyoweb/com_social.git"
}

The require section should contain the following line:

    "moyo/com_social": "1.0.*",

Afterwards, one just needs to run the command composer update from the root of your Joomla project. This will effectively create a composer.lock file which will contain the collected dependencies and the hash codes for each latest release (depending on the require section's format) for each particular repo. Should installations problems occur due to a bad ordering of the dependencies, one may need to go into the lock file and manualy change the order of the components. Running composer update again will again cause a reordering of the lock file, beware of this factor when running an update. Thereafter, you can run the command composer install.

If you have not setup an alias to use the command composer, then you will need to replace the word composer in the previous commands with the commands with php composer.phar followed by the desired action (eg. update or install).

Another option is to run the jsymlink script in the root folder, available via the original Moyo developer, Joachim van de Haterd's repository, under the Moyo Git Tools.

The joomlatools/installer plugin is free and open-source software licensed under the GPLv3 license.

After installing the package, create a module of type mod_socialmedia. Twtter and Facebook login data are entered into their respective tabs. The module tab enables the content manager to decide which social medium to show initially.
