DDeck Entity Social Share
This module adds a social sharing feature to your website's content. It allows visitors to share pages directly using their browser's built-in share functionality, or via links to popular platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and X. You can easily enable and configure this sharing option for different content types and display modes.
Adds a Social Share extra field to nodes. Native share sheet when supported, or links to Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and X.
Introduction
DDECK Entity Social Share adds a Social Share display component to node pages. Site builders enable it per content type and view mode in Manage display—no new fields or blocks. Visitors share the page URL and title via the browser’s native share UI when available, or via icon links otherwise.
Features

- Web Share API on supported browsers (mobile-friendly)
- Fallback links: Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and X
