It's one of the best social share module but unfortunately in PHP8.1.x it gives two errors above the player and I don't know how to fix it

Ease of use

Very easy to use. The module has a simple design and therefore you can set it up without any problems

Support

I can't get in touch with the developer. I did send a couple of emails but no anwer from Bernhard.
Maybe he wil read this ;-)

Documentation

Never read it because it is so easy to use. It is there but I did not use it untill now

I used this to: I use this module on almost every website I create. It's free and works great

Owner's reply: Hi Theo,

There's a huge range of available platforms already built in. This is the simplest way to encourage users to share your pages. A must have!

Ease of use

Couldn't be easier. Install, publish, choose the platforms. Boom! Done.

Support

Excellent. Bear in mind that this is a free extension, but I have had better support for this than some paid extensions!

Documentation

So simple, that it's not needed. And support is very responsive.

I used this to: I've used this on multiple sites and it has quickly become a "must install up front" on every new site. It's very functional, looks great, and is easy to use. AND IT'S FREE!!! Grab it before the developer realizes what a goldmine it is!

nice and easy!

Does what was needed (show configurable Social Share buttons in a neat and responsive way).

Ease of use

Very easy to install and setup, not too many options (appreciated).

Support

Very nice and prompt support by email. Some quick back and forth to solve a caching issue. Thank you, Bernhard! ?

Documentation

It took me a while (and Bernhards support) to find out that I have to switch off caching in the module, could be mentioned in documentation

I used this to: what it was designed for: share my content in social networks! Makes it very easy to spread my articles on different social natworks. Will see, if my users will do that too.

Owner's reply: Thanks Stefan :-)
A hint on how to deal with Cache issues is already added to the documentation.

Functionality

You can use included social sharing sources very easily. I first tested and didn't find any bug.

Ease of use

I Could not imagine easier than that. Just done it with a couple of simple clicks.

Support

Because it is so easy, you almost don't need any support. But Bernhard Woehrlin responds to your commends as soon as possible on his website

Documentation

Although there is a well explained documentation on the website, because it is so easy, you almost don't need any.

I used this to: I used this for a couple of sites letting people share the current page. The only thing to decide for you is the position of the module.

Very good
