Stalker ComponentModulePlugin

Editor's Note
  • This extension requires registration to download.
This is my first attempt at a Joomla extension. It's a very simple, and probably useless, add-on to get the visitors to your site linking through to the various Social Networking sites you may be registered with. I created the package for my own use, but figured that it wasn't going to hurt putting it here for anyone else to use.

Stalker is also available in Component & Plugin forms. Module version >= 1.0.0 is required to work with the component, however the Module will continue to operate standalone (as it does now) if you don't want to install the component.

The component extends the functionality in that you can now add any Social Networks that haven't been added so far. Additionally, you can re-order icons etc.

Stalker comes with approx 45 Social Networks ready to go, but you can now add any new networks you wish.

Stalker also supports iconsets. Now you can change the style of the icons to better suit you or your site!! There is also an Import/Export option for the Social Networks in the component. I'm hoping that users who've added new networks to the component will Export their list and email it to me so I can create a master list of Social Networks that others can import. No personal information is exported, it is ONLY the list of Social Networks.

PLEASE NOTE: Stalker now has a new home!!

1.3.0 (08/07/11)
- Stalker updated to work with Joomla 1.6 and 1.7.
- Added french translation
- Added Google+ to the list of social networks

I cringe when it comes time to download extensions because I hate reading all the documentation. This extension is so easy to install and set up and worked PERFECTLY the first time. Could not be happier!

Programming in joomla I have found all kind of extensions, almost all of them I have to manipulate them in order to accommodate customer's needs. It took me literally 6 minutes to add the blogger social icon which was missing and I did not used the database version. Very simple to use, very simple and understandable programming, yet very powerful. GO STALKER !!!

This is a must have for any site. Easy to install and configure. Even adding your own icons is a breeze.

Support is prompt and helpful.

although I do love this product, the module needs to be update to reflect the new facebook page ids.

A work around is to use the database but if you have a lot of different groups, its easier to use the module sometimes.

Here's big praise for Stalker and equal praise for Nick, who went above and beyond for this total newbie. I'm building a conceptual social network site and this extension is easy to use and will help the membership and therefore contributions/content expand and grow as a result. It delivers as promised.:)

Easy - Fast - Nice Icons!
Really fast to install and setup, worked nicely!
has every social site you can think about and a bunch of extra sites i didn't know existed...
thanks to the developers!

a suggestion for future development to target musicians with this software:
Is to add some mainstream music sales sites for musicians such as Beatport, Soundcloud, Resident Advisor, JunoRecords, Itunes.
or maybe to have like 3 or 4 more custom links with upload for custom icon, it would be really
Keep it up!
Thanks!
Owner's reply

Hi, thank you for the great review.

In regards to your comments about adding sites specifically for musicians, you can install the Stalker Component and it'll allow you to add any networks that aren't provided as standard. The Component will also let you set up 'groups' of icons, which can display in separate modules. It was actually a suggestion by another musician, where he wanted normal social networks in one module, and links to his music related sites in another module.

I hope this helps!

A lovely little module - very easy to install and configure. I used it as a "follow me on...." module within my website and it was so simple. You said it was your first module you had written - well done - keep up the good work. Thanks. Simplicity A++++

Super easy to configure, sexy to look at, small and fits anywhere. I put it at the footer of each page and it's really a nice complement. Thanks!

Just what i wanted.I prefer this than a custom html module because is much more faster and it has this beautiful black icons set.

Just don't forget to add your username in the parameters because you will have an empty module!

I was looking for something that did multiple social media sites and this one worked first time as soon as I installed, added my site names and enabled it. Beautiful!

Fantastic extension.
Fast and easy to setup.
Links to your social networking pages with ease and opens them in a new tab too.
Will be using this on all sites that have social network requirements.

Outstanding job, really pleased with this :)
