Plugin does what it says.

Had a little problem with the "blank" page, which I resolved in the forums in 10 minutes.

Support is fast, so no problem at all with that.

Love all the options available!

What you should know:
- adds 70ko of code to your site, but I would say it's even more because fb/twitter images are loaded from external sources. Not so good when you try to keep a website lightweight for mobile use.

- You might need to get your hands dirty in the CSS to get the width properties do exaclty what to do (to avoid text trucation for example, as it happens for the french language)

Maybe it looks good at first glance but...

Developpment has been made like a 5-year old.
I mean, sometimes styles are hardcoded. Then impossible to translate this component nicely via a language.php file or whatever.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Use this component "as is", you won't want to get your hands dirty.

As always, thanks for sharing this component free of charge, it's always appreciated. Keep the hard work!
Owner's reply

Hi - thanks for the review. First of all, it sounds like you were using our first release of the product (1.5.1) which did not have the cleanest code and did not take advantage of language files. The initial product was developed for a private client and released on the JED in the hopes that it might help somebody - since then we have developed a new version.

We released version 1.5.3 a couple months ago that is controlled by a style sheet which can be edited via the Project Log admin panel. It also uses language files so translations are easy, and the code has been significantly improved. Please consider downloading the latest version and updating your review.
