Basic Social Media
==================

[](#basic-social-media)

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

A Silverstripe module which adds fields to Settings for entering common social media platform URLs:

- Facebook
- Twitter
- LinkedIn
- Instagram
- YouTube
- Vimeo

A template include then allows linked icons to be inserted on the site.

Note: The template include currently relies on Bootstrap and Font Awesome, but can be easily overridden to suit your site.
