DESCRIPTION ******************************************************************************** Follow adds sitewide and per user links that link to various social networking sites. The links reside in two blocks. The Follow Site block lists all the links for the site itself, and by default is visible on all pages. The Follow User block lists all the follow links for the user and is visible only on user profile pages. There is a setting in the Follow Site block to have it not display on user profile pages. INSTALLATION ******************************************************************************** Enable the module at admin/build/modules, then go to user/admin/permissions to set which roles are allowed to edit the sitewide follow links, edit own follow links, edit all user follow links, or administer follow. Go to admin/build/blocks to enable the blocks. User follow links can be edited at user/%/follow, whereas sitewide follow links are at admin/build/follow TWEAKAGE ******************************************************************************** Often you'll want to tweak the way the Follow links are displayed. The display of the icons and text is all controlled with CSS, so overriding in your own custom theme is simple. Here are a few examples: To remove the text and only display icons: a.follow-link { width: 24px; height: 25px; text-indent: -9999px; } To remove all text and have icons sit next to each other: a.follow-link { width: 24px; height: 25px; text-indent: -9999px; float: left; margin: 0 8px 8px 0; } RECOMMENDED ADD ON ******************************************************************************** It is recommended to enable a module such as external [1] that will pop open the follow links in a new tab or window; target="_blank" is not used since it does not validate.
