This VirtueMart plugin includes buttons for sharing a product on social networks like Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus. Each service can be disabled in the settings.
The spcial thing about this plugin is that the buttons do not connect to the social networks before a user has clicked on them. After a second click the product will be shared with their friends on their profile board. There is also a settings which allows every user to save their own setting in a cookie whether to show the connected button immediately on page load or not.
Demo below product description: http://www.jdemo.mowebso.com/mws_demo_virtuemart_theme/index.php/vm-product-details (http://www.jdemo.mowebso.com/mws_demo_virtuemart_theme/index.php/vm-product-details)
Download from The VirtueMart Extensions Store => http://extensions.virtuemart.net/extensions-virtuemart-2/virtuemart-2-click-social-buttons-detail (http://extensions.virtuemart.net/extensions-virtuemart-2/virtuemart-2-click-social-buttons-detail)
Why 2 clicks?
We believe that privacy is a very important issue. By an usual integration the buttons connects to the network platforms on page load and send data about the user without that the user has done something in this regard. This is information such as URL of the page and a code with which it is possible to identify the visitor immediately. Thus, this network platforms create whole surf profiles and collect data.
The 2-click process solves this problem. It symbolizes the visitors the possibility to share and gives your visitors the freedom to decide whether the site should connect to the network and thus can exchange data. The customer may decide on his consent!

You can download it at the VirtueMart extensions store at http://extensions.virtuemart.net/extensions-virtuemart-2/virtuemart-2-click-social-buttons-detail (http://extensions.virtuemart.net/extensions-virtuemart-2/virtuemart-2-click-social-buttons-detail)
Joomla Plugin is the second download file => "pkg_mowebso_2click_social_1.0.1.zip"
Installed both plugins, and they work but only in 2 click mode.
I had a problem changing the General Settings: tried to change the settings regarding Permanent Display and Activate Service but nothing happens.
Any solutions?

Did you adjuste the "Domain for the cookie" field in the settings of the plugin? It should be your domain like www.your-domain.de without http://
At least one service should be activated for permanent display. Then your user can active the service to show always on your site on their visits.
Note that every user will decide for themselfs - there is no setting to show it always for everyone - they first have to active it for themself and you can decide if they should be able to decide this...
Hi, I followed the instruction, installed both VM2 plugin and joomla plugin without problems, but the second one won't work as I expected: it show up the social buttons on every standard joomla articles (wich is not even needed for my purpose) but on the VM page of the products nothing is changed if I don't manually set the custom field. I'm using VM 2.0.12f on joomla 2.5.7. Thanks in advance.

For VirtueMart Plugin it is important to create a custom field first. Then you have to assign this custom field to every product where you want to show these buttons.
For the joomla Plugin to appear on every product I think you need to update your VirtueMart component. They added the joomla trigger for product page very lately.

Yup, it's clearly written on the instruction page and that's exactly what i did. But in addiction to that it's written: "[...] Repeat it for all products or download the Joomla Plugin which will show the buttons for every product by default."

Dunno exactly what you mean with "joomla trigger" anyway I've updated joomla to 2.5.8 and virtuemart to 2.0.18a, repeated the configuration step as the first time but the buttons still wont show up on every products by default, I must add the custom field manually on each product. in addiction (but for me it's better like this), the buttons wont show up by default even in the standard joomla articles.
What am I missing??
Am I the only one experiencing that?

But you installed the "joomla" plugin and published it right?

of course :), both vm and joomla plugin installed and published
Maybe you could submit a support ticket on our site and send us your url and backend access.
I had to enable the Joomla plugin option in Virtuemart config. Could be nice to add that info in a FAQ or directly in the intall/config instruction.

oh ok - totally forgot about this option in the config. I`m sorry.
Would be a nice extension if it would just influence the display on the product details page. But it has a bad influence on the default VM homepage too. The newest products do not work as expected there. Seems that the plugin influences somehow the sort order of those products by showing old products instead of new. That is not a joke, it shows the longest listed products. So there seems to be a conflict with VM 2.0.18a in case of frontpage or sort order.
I don't understand the parameter "URL reference".
Can you explain what I need to fill in there?
Also I need to know where I can translate the popup text (to dutch), explaining how to use the buttons.
Thanks.
Enter your url in this field like www.your-site.com
This URL is required to set cookies if you enable the option to show a button permanent.
Thanks, but I mean the field 'reference' for "Here you can enter a URL link that is appended to the URL, eg &social=fb".
What does that URL. Sorry, maby I am a noob in this, but I need to know :)
Another question. The text of the facebook button is in dutch "Aanbevelen" (emfehlen in german). It seems this button is displayed by Facebook itself. But nowadays the standaard text for this kind of button is "vind ik leuk" or "Like" in English. How can I change this?
Hi.. i have this error in my site:
Fatal error: Class 'MoWebSoVirtuemart' not found in /home/storage/6/32/70/w100limitesoffroad/public_html/plugins/vmcustom/mowebso_2click_social/mowebso_2click_social.php on line 134
How can i fix it?
thanks
I am not able to install the VM pckg through the joomla installer.
Getting this error:

Library Install: No library file specified
Package Install: There was an error installing an extension: lib_mowebso.zip
Error installing package

I have the same problem as MAD King with the same error message on a local installation of joomla.
Mac Os X 10.6.8.
Joomla 2.5.11
VM 2.0.20b
It looks like this mod is not supportet anymore. No one is answering here and no respond to my tickets.
You can't even review this mod, because it is not listed in the extensions directory.
Hy MAD:
Try to download from the developer site, it works fine for me. Here is the link:
http://www.developing-and-design.com/en/joomla/virtuemart-extensions/2-click-social-buttons.html
Great. Thank you. Thank worked. Why does VM still have a non working version in the shop?
Ahh, now it's clear with the support. It is a German plugin. haha

Hello, Eugen. Pls correct this word here and on your website.

Hi,
I'm following your instruction, but I have an issue by point 5:
"5. Choose ,,Plug-ins" as Custom Field Type and select the plugin in the option box at the bottom. It`s called ,,MoWebSo VirtueMart 2 Click Social Buttons"."
I cannot see in the option box either "MoWebSo VirtueMart 2 Click Social Buttons" or any othet buttons, just the main three one "Customer text input", "Product specification" and "Stockable variants", however I published the plugin ,,System - MoWebSo" and ,,MoWebSo VirtueMart 2 Click Social Buttons" as well. I attached my print screen maybe it could help to find the solution.

I have this same problem on my homepage. I use a custom module to display a scrolling banner on my homepage, but when I enable the social buttons it displays each image in the banner's rotation individually. Is there a fix for this? I also noticed that even though I set it up to be permanently displayed, it is possible for someone who isn't even logged into my site let allow a registered user to disable this functionality on the front end. Is it possible to keep users other then admins from toggling the permanently displayed options in the front end?
Joomla! version: 2.5.27
Virtuemart version: 2.6.12.2
Appreciate any help with this.
HI! I have set the Recommend button for Facebook. Twitter and google plus work fine, but the Facebook button just doesn't show me the pop-up windows... Any ideas?
