What's the best way to implement the same social sharing (GK) in all components (other that com_content and com_K2)?

Some times I have the need for using "social sharing" in a consistent way throughout the whole site, and this could include something lige DJ Classifieds etc.

I'm totally aware of the "need for programming skills", and thats quite ok. As long as the components can be overridden, it should be fine :)

Thanks,
Claus

This will be not so easy because this Social API is related with template code and preparing link and other details for this particular Social portal. There is simple way to just copy this code to different components because the way how to get article image may be different.

Thanks bkrztuk,

One thing you guys might consider is to make a plugin that do the trick. Consistency throughout a website is important (imho), and right now I have a couple of different social sharing "things" spread out, depending on the component.

Cheers,

Plugin is a good idea until you know where it will be used. Making different plugin for K2 or Joomla or even other unknown components is pointless. Our Social API area is dedicated to core Joomla views but for sure there are many other 3rd party extensions that will work through other views. From customer point of view this is additional thing to install if you use clean template and this will only create confusion.
