1 Initial Problem
2 Conceptual Summary
In extension of Revamp Personal Profile, the user should be able to link his accounts on other social media platforms.
Administrators should be able to define / remove social media platforms. Each record of a social media platform consists of these definitions
- Title (e.g. "Twitter")
- URL (e.g. "https://twitter.com/", or "https://twitter.com/[ID]", where '[ID]' is a placeholder)
- Icon (PNG/SVG/...)
- Activation status (enabled/disabled)?
- Google+
- linked.in
- Youtube
- Skype
2.1 Update Step
All existing installations some hard-coded social media fields which may be in use on some user accounts. As a conservative measure, all these previously hard-coded social media fields will be transfered to corresponding dynamic social media fields. After upgrading, the administrator can then decide to delete some of these fields.
- Instant Messengers
- ICQ
- Yahoo
- MSN
- AIM
- Skype
- Jabber
- VoIP
- Other
- Delicious Account
3 User Interface Modifications
3.1 List of Affected Views
- User Profile (and my own profile, i.e. Personal Data and Privacy > Preview)
- Personal Data and Privacy
- Administration > Social Media (new category) > Settings
- Administration > Profile (new category) > Settings
3.2 User Interface Details
3.2.1 User Profiles
- each social media account of the user is listed with an icon in the header of the profile
- the icon links to the composed URL for that account (e.g. https://twitter.com/ABC)

... and mobile the motto will be hidden

3.2.2 Personal Data and Privacy
- each activated social media account can be edited by the user in a section "social media"
- This section should have a by-line (e.g. 'please only enter your account name')
![](./data/docu/mobs/mm_52313/edit_social_media.png?il_wac_token=1e7dd550133f65b26044d599055827518afff881&il_wac_ttl=5&il_wac_ts=1725756078)
- each activated social media can be published by the user in the tab "Privacy"
3.2.3 Administration
Administration > Profile (new category) > Settings
- social media (default=enabled): If enabled, users can publish their social media accounts to other users.
3.2.4 Define Social Media
- Administation > Social Media [alternatively a sub-tab of User Management > Settings]
- combination of form and table
- sorting of entries
- select multiple entries and
- enable
- disable
- delete
- actions per invidiual entry
- enable / disable
- edit
- columns
- Title
- Activation Status
- Actions
![](./data/docu/mobs/mm_52314/define_social_media.png?il_wac_token=1e7dd550133f65b26044d599055827518afff881&il_wac_ttl=5&il_wac_ts=1725756078)
When editing an invidiual entry, it should be possible to change the following data
- title
- URL
- icon
- activation status
3.2.5 Visibility/Export/Search
Administration > User Management > Settings > Social media
In the basic implementation the following settings will be shared by all social media platforms. In the future there may be a second mode where this can be differentiated per social media platform:
- Visible in Personal Data (default: YES)
- Visible in Registration (default: YES)
- Visible in Local User Administration
- Visible in Courses
- Visible in Groups
- Changeable in Personal Data and Profile (default: YES)
- Changeable in Local User Administration
- Required
- Export
- Searchable
