The content on this page deals with a legacy feature of the ​Akamai​ Identity Cloud (in this case, social sharing). If you are currently an Identity Cloud customer and are using social sharing, that feature is still supported. However, if you’re new to the Identity Cloud, social sharing is no longer available.

These settings define the activity, description, and type of sharing to be enabled. They may be defined on any HTML element with the class janrainSocialPlaceholder as data-janrain-* attributes.

Example:

<div
 class="janrainSocialPlaceholder"
 data-janrain-url="http://www.google.com/"
 data-janrain-title="Share this!"
 data-janrain-description="This is a cool thing"
 data-janrain-image="http://www.coolmath.com/fractals/images/fractal11.gif"
 data-janrain-message="Hey come look at this amazing thing!"
>
</div>
