# CKAN social
_An extension to improve social sharing in CKAN._
With the extension installed and activated:
- when a user clicks the social share button, the page title is included in the text that pops up.
- includes open graph tags in the head to facilitate the use of summary cards when sharing to social
## Requirements
This extension has been tested with versions of CKAN from 2.6.3 onwards
and works well on these versions.
## Installation
Installing this extension in your CKAN instance is as easy as installing any other CKAN extension.
Activate your CKAN virtual environment, for example
`. /usr/local/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate`
#### Option 1: Install the extension using `python setup.py`
```commandline
$ git clone https://github.com/CodeForAfricaLabs/ckanext-social.git
$ cd ckanext-social
$ python setup.py install
```
Modify your configuration file (generally in `/etc/ckan/default/production.ini`) and add `social` in the `ckan.plugins` property.
`ckan.plugins = social `
#### Option 2: Install the extension using `pip install ckanext-social`
1. Install the ckanext-social Python package into your virtual environment:
pip install ckanext-social
2. Add ``social`` to the ``ckan.plugins`` setting in your CKAN
config file (by default the config file is located at
``/etc/ckan/default/production.ini``).
3. Restart CKAN. For example if you've deployed CKAN with Apache on Ubuntu:
```commandline
sudo service apache2 reload
```

run the following commands
```commandline
