-------------------------------------------

[](#what-if-i-want-to-add-a-new-social-network)

You must create class and extend it from [bl\\socialShare\\base\\SocialNetwork](https://github.com/black-lamp/yii2-socialshare/blob/master/base/SocialNetwork.php) abstract class

```
use bl\socialShare\base\SocialNetwork;

class LinkedIn extends SocialNetwork
{

}
```

and implement the method [getLink()](https://github.com/black-lamp/yii2-socialshare/blob/master/base/SocialNetwork.php#L84)

```
class LinkedIn extends bl\socialShare\base\SocialNetwork
{
    /**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    public function getLink($url, $title, $description, $image, $component)
    {
    }
}
```

this method must initialize route to the social network and return `initLink()` method with `$component` argument

```
/**
 * @inheritdoc
 */
public function getLink($url, $title, $description, $image, $component)
{
    $this->_route = "https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true"
                    ."&url=$url"
                    ."&title=$title"
                    ."&summary=$description";

    return $this->initLink($component);
}
```
