If you run a forum, you probably hope that your community creates interesting posts that are worth sharing.

Kunena is the best Joomla forum, but by default it doesn't have any sharing options.

In this tutorial, we'll show you how to integrate the BT Social Sharing plugin with Kunena so that your visitors can share posts on social media.

#1. Download and Install

Please read our blog tutorial on installing and configuring BT Social Share.

#2. Create a template override

• Copy this file: components/com_kunena/template/blue_eagle/html/common/breadcrumb.php
• Paste that file here: templates/your-template/html/com_kunena/common/breadcrumb.php

#3. Edit the override

• Open the breadcrumb.php file with a code editor and add the following code around line 26:

<div>
    <?php
    if( JPluginHelper::isEnabled('content', 'bt_socialshare') ) :
        JPluginHelper::importPlugin('content');
             $share = plgContentBt_socialshare::socialButtons();
             echo $share['script']; // Required
             echo $share['buttons']; // Social button
             echo $share['recommend']; // Recommendation bar
    endif;
    ?>
</div>
