VK Community Widget for Joomla
Module «VK Community Widget» for Joomla – extension for Joomla 3, Joomla 4, Joomla 5 and Joomla 6, which will display information about your group from the VK social network on your website. The extension is simple, so just install and configure it; no programming skills are required. This module adds the ability to subscribe to your group’s page, display the latest posts, and display your page’s members on the social network. Nowadays, a website cannot survive without social networks. By adding the module and displaying your group’s information, you can attract website visitors to your public page. In other words, your website will help you recruit members to your VK social network group.
The module supports all the features of the VK social network public API when working with the community widget. In the module, you can choose whether to connect to the VK social network open API and enter the ID of the community whose information you want to display in the widget. By the way, there are three modes available for displaying community data. Let’s take a look at each option below.
- Members – the name, cover with logo, number of participants, list of participant photos, and interaction button will be displayed.
- News – the logo, cover with the name, number of participants, a block with a list of the latest posts in the group, with the ability to scroll vertically, and an interaction button will be displayed.
- Name only – a simplified version of the block will be displayed. In this mode, the cover, logo with name, number of members in the group, and interaction button will be displayed.
In the extension, you can set the width of the block in pixels, but if you don’t want to fix the width, the automatic width will be set to the entire width of the parent block. In addition to all the available options, there are three important options that allow you to set the background color, text color, and button color in the widget. The extensive capabilities of the VK social network’s open API will help you set up a convenient and attractive widget with information about your community on your website. A customized information block will help attract the attention of website visitors and invite them to join your community.
