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.

Status details:

Status: Available
Tier: free
Bundle: foundation
Composer package: capell-app/socials
Namespace: Capell\Socials
Theme key: not applicable

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.

Screens And Workflow

Screenshot contract: docs/screenshots.json.

Data Model

Required tables: social_profiles, social_site_preferences.
Models: SocialProfile, SocialSitePreferences.
Core record references in migrations: sites via site_id.
Migration files: 2026_07_16_000001_create_social_profiles_table.php, 2026_07_16_000002_create_social_site_preferences_table.php, 2026_08_31_000001_add_share_networks_customised_to_social_site_preferences.php, 2026_09_07_000002_make_share_network_keys_nullable.php.
Migration impact: run host migrations through the package install flow before opening package surfaces.
Deletion/retention behaviour: migrations declare cascade-on-delete relationships; no timed pruning or retention schedule is declared in capell.json.

Install Impact

Required packages: capell-app/core, capell-app/admin, capell-app/frontend, capell-app/block-library.
Admin navigation: declares admin-page: SocialsAdminPageContribution; each Filament page or resource controls its own navigation visibility.
Admin/editor extensions: none declared.
Permissions: View:SocialsPage.
Public routes: none declared.
Database changes: package migrations are declared.
Config: no package config files.
Settings: no package settings declared.
Queues or schedules: none declared.
Cache tags: socials.
Commands: capell:socials-install.

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 socials cache tags.

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

Quick Start

Install the package: composer require capell-app/socials.
Run the package setup: php artisan capell:socials-install.
Open the package admin surface at /admin/socials and confirm Socials is available.
