Social Media Icons
If the live map is to be shared on social networks or by email, you can add social share icons to your project. These are displayed in the Live Map at the bottom of each content box. For example, if you want to share an article and click on one of the share icons, the deep link to the relevant article on the map will always be shared. The map itself can also be shared via the share icons. There is a share icon at the bottom left of the map for this purpose. If you click on it, you will see a selection of possible share icons.
Enable share icons
Select the option for the share icons from the toolbar on the left-hand side in the web settings. On the overview form you will find a list of optional share icons. To activate an icon, simply click on the symbol. After saving, the icons will immediately be active in your map.
Customise preview image
If the map or a content of the map is shared in the networks, the preview image that you have stored in the general map settings is always used.
Note: Data is passed on to the social networks via the sharing buttons. Users of the map must at least be informed of this in a short sentence. This could read: "When using this map, data is passed on to social networks. By integrating sharing buttons (e.g. the Facebook Like button), this happens automatically. As the provider of the context map software, we cannot prevent the social networks from this data outflow."
