Social Share Callback

Nisthar

Hi, I am trying to develop a plugin that locks the content and unlocks when the user share through any social media accs. So i noticed that nodebb has option to share a post.

Question:
So i was wondering if there is any callback to check if the post is actually shared.

If there is not, Is there any other way i can check it?

This would require utilizing the Facebook, Twitter, etc API access which means someone has to give your application access to post stuff through their account. This will be complicated and is not possible using existing NodeBB modules.

Thanks for answering. I had the same thought. But can i do without using any nodebb modules? Like using the client side javascript

@Nisthar you won't be able to confirm that they did share anything with just client side JS

Why would anyone share something on social media without even seeing what it is... makes no sense to me.

No, the content will be seen. But the links will be hidden.

@PitaJ I think their JS SDK support, i tried googling. They have the share function with response id as callback. We can check for the response id to check if the content is actually shared.
