# Social Blocks for Volto (@kitconcept/volto-social-blocks)
Addon implementing social network blocks for [Plone](https://plone.org) projects with [Volto](https://github.com/plone/volto).
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@kitconcept/volto-social-blocks)
[](https://kitconcept.github.io/volto-social-blocks/)
[](https://github.com/kitconcept/volto-social-blocks/actions/workflows/main.yml)
## Features
- Facebook block
- Flickr block
- Instagram block
- Soundcloud block
- Spotify block
- Tweet block
## Installation
To install your project, you must choose the method appropriate to your version of Volto.
### Volto 18 and later
Add `@kitconcept/volto-social-blocks` to your `package.json`:
```json
"dependencies": {
"@kitconcept/volto-social-blocks": "*"
}
```
Add `@kitconcept/volto-social-blocks` to your `volto.config.js`:
```javascript
const addons = ['@kitconcept/volto-social-blocks'];
```
If this package provides a Volto theme, and you want to activate it, then add the following to your `volto.config.js`:
```javascript
const theme = '@kitconcept/volto-social-blocks';
```
### Volto 17 and earlier
Create a new Volto project (you can skip this step if you already have one):
```
npm install -g yo @plone/generator-volto
yo @plone/volto my-volto-project --addon @kitconcept/volto-social-blocks
cd my-volto-project
```
Add `@kitconcept/volto-social-blocks` to your package.json:
```JSON
"addons": [
"@kitconcept/volto-social-blocks"
],
"dependencies": {
"@kitconcept/volto-social-blocks": "*"
}
```
Download and install the new add-on by running:
```
yarn install
```
Start volto with:
```
yarn start
```
### Test it
Go to http://localhost:3000/, login, create a new page. The social blocks will show up in the Volto blocks chooser.
### Custom Privacy Consent Notice
You can register a custom React component to check for privacy consent and show the user a prompt to confirm accessing the external services. This is useful to meet European GDPR requirements, for example.
```
config.registerComponent({
name: 'CheckPrivacyConsent',
component: IfConfirm, # use your own component here
});
```
The [@kitconcept/volto-dsgvo-banner](https://github.com/kitconcept/volto-dsgvo-banner) addon provides one possible implementation of the `CheckPrivacyConsent` component.
## Development
The development of this add-on is done in isolation using a new approach using pnpm workspaces and latest `mrs-developer` and other Volto core improvements.
For this reason, it only works with pnpm and Volto 18 (currently in alpha).
