What This Plugin Adds
Section titled “What This Plugin Adds”Socials is an Available, Schema-owning Capell package in the Capell Foundation product group. It ships as capell-app/socials and extends these surfaces: admin, frontend, console, shared.
Socials adds site-scoped registered and custom social profiles, shared follow and share defaults, and an explicit Block Library widget.
Admins manage profiles and previews on the Socials page, then editors place follow or share links on selected pages. Visitors receive accessible links without social SDKs or tracking scripts.
Evidence: src/Filament/Pages/SocialsPage.php, src/Blocks/SocialsBlockDefinitionProvider.php, capell.json, src/Blocks/SocialsBlockRenderer.php, resources/views/blocks/socials.blade.php, tests/Unit/BuildShareLinksActionTest.php.

Why It Matters
Section titled “Why It Matters”For developers: The network registry, public resolver contract, and typed render data keep profile validation separate from admin forms and public rendering.
For teams: Teams can approve social profiles once per site, reuse them in follow blocks, and offer canonical page sharing without embedding third-party scripts.

Common Pitfalls
Section titled “Common Pitfalls”- Keep required Capell packages on compatible v4 releases:
capell-app/core,capell-app/admin,capell-app/frontend,capell-app/block-library. - Run migrations before opening package resources or public routes.
- Keep public Blade and cached HTML free of authoring markers, model IDs, permissions, signed editor URLs, and lazy database queries.
- Custom write integrations must preserve invalidation for
socialscache tags.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”| Symptom | Likely cause | Check | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Package surface is missing after install | Provider or manifest is not loaded | Confirm capell.json, package composer.json, and provider registration |
Reinstall the package, refresh Composer autoload, and clear host caches |
| Admin screen or command fails on missing table | Package migrations have not run | Check the tables listed in Data Model |
Run host migrations and rerun the focused package test |
| Public output leaks unexpected state | Render data, cache variation, or authoring boundary has regressed | Check public Blade, cache tags, and public-output safety tests | Move data loading out of Blade and rerun the package public-output tests |
