I want to add social media icons (i.e. Twitter, Facebook, etc) to a Joomla-based site, so that after the social media message is sent by a user, they are redirected to a landing page.
Does anyone know if a plug-in or control that does this?
You can use AddThis plugin to display social media icons on articles etc. Check out AddThis website.

If someone on my website sent a POST request with some data, how would I redirect that to another API in Ruby on Rails? I am trying to make a rails website where a user on my website can input some data like a title, body text, some media and send that to the APIs of social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Twitter. So the user can connect their accounts and create a post or a video on that social media platform from my website. Is that possible, and if so, can someone help me with how I do that entire thing from my website? Thanks.
I didn't try a lot of things since I don't exactly know what to do.
I have a Facebook page for my online magazine (news) site which was developed by Wordpress. I have successfully enabled Facebook Instant Article by using Wordpress instant article plugin and using Facebook audience network to earn money by running ads from Facebook. I am trying to display my Facebook page iFrame box in instant article layout to get more likes. I read a few articles about it but not getting any clue to how I can add it in the layout.
From Instant Articles team here.
You shouldn't use the IFrame solution to show a Facebook Page within your Instant Articles to increase your Likes into that page. The best way of achieving this is by using the CTA for likes we have.
You can find more info about that here: CTA Page Likes
I have video sharing and content sharing enabled for my iOS application with Branch.io deeplinking. When I share my contents from mobile to social networks and any user clicks on the same link from desktop, I would like to redirect them to a particular page in website.How can I achieve this?
Alex from Branch.io here: this is accomplished via the $desktop_url link control parameter. You can read about how to use it on this docs page
I've noticed that some recent tweets have media associated with them, for example photos from TwitPic or Flickr and videos from Youtube. You can see them on the Twitter website directly, so it's more than just a link. My thinking is that Twitter has formed these partnerships with these select suppliers of media, being Flickr, Twitpic and such.
I'm looking to automate some tweeting from an image gallery. Yet, I do not wish to upload these photos to another place. I want to host them myself and then embed/refer to them from a tweet. Yet, they should also be seen inline.
Is such a thing possible?
2017 edit: Looks like you can get a media_id via POST media/upload and then pass the id into POST statuses/update.
2014 edit: You can add media to tweets using POST statuses/update_with_media.
Original 2011 answer: No, you can't embed media into a tweet, nor can you upload photos to Twitter.
The "embedded" media you see is just Twitter scraping the URL for the photo or video, and showing it directly within Twitter, saving users from needing to click on the link to view the media. And Twitter only scrapes media for certain popular sites.
If you want Twitter.com users to see your images inline, you'll need to upload images to one of the popular image sites you mentioned, and have its URL in your tweet.
If you still want to drive traffic to your site, you could also include your gallery's URL within the same tweet.
But keep in mind that not everyone uses Twitter via Twitter.com; there are a plethora of Twitter clients available, and I doubt many feature inline media scraping.
I'd suggest just linking to your gallery/images, and not worry about uploading them elsewhere.
You can do all this and more. (and Twitter DOES allow you to upload images). Look at the documentation for Twitter cards.

Hey all,
I would like to make possible to share links of my website on twitter with a click. I've already done this for facebook, just one click and the classic facebook window appears where you can also write what you're thinking while sharing the link.
Is it possible to do the same for Twitter? I've searched through the web but I could only find apps that go on your browser and not for a website. Moreover it would be better a simple code instead of an app, if it's possible.
Thanks
