Open advancedwpuser opened 9 years ago

advancedwpuser commented 9 years ago

Wanting to hook into the different APIS of our social channels to allow users to either go to the relevant url or join/follow automatically and see an active current number of followers/members etc.

Here's a few more important details:

1) The Facebook button needs to show the number of members of our Facebook Group. And when clicked on, it takes you to the Facebook Group page where you can request to join. 2) The G+ and Twitter buttons would be follow buttons. 3) The Slack buttons would show the number of members of the account. Not quite sure yet where it would link to if anywhere at all.

@advancedwp For 3, maybe it could lead to http://advancedwp.slack.com or to a page explaining how to become a member om Slack?

advancedwpuser commented 9 years ago

Ya, need to look into our account limits on Slack. If we open the flood gates we might exceed the free level.

advancedwpuser commented 9 years ago

Of course, the next paid level is really cheap, so...

"Slack is free to use for as long as you want and with an unlimited number of people."

@advancedwp I think my plugin http://wpfspb.wptie.com/ can be a good fit here.

It will need some customization which is as follows

  1. It can be modified to add a group link but showing members of the group that might need API work.
  2. G+ and Twitter Buttons are already "follow" buttons
  3. Link part + icon can be done, showing the number of members will need API work
