SocialIcons

This is a simple plugin to help you display some social icons in your site.

Icons supported so far:

• Facebook like button
• Facebook
• Twitter
• Delicious
• Reddit
• Digg
• Youtube (and many more...)

• social_icons_aqua
• social_icons_aqua_all
• social_icons_default_16
• social_icons_default_20
• social_icons_default_24
• social_icons_default_48
• social_icons_default_60

The sprites and CSS files were generated using spritegen

See the 'pictos-icons' and 'world-flags' gems for more examples and tools to generate your own sprite customization, including: grayscaling, lighten/darken icons etc.

This gem is a Rails 3 engine and the asset folder will therefore be included in the Rails asset pipeline when the gem is included in your Rails 3 project (add to Gemfile).

Simply require the social_icons css files in your application.css manifest file.

/*
 *= require social_icons_aqua
 *= require social_icons_default_24
 *= require social_icons_default_60
*/

If you are using SCSS and Compass use @imports, fx:

@import 'bourbon';
@import 'compass';

@import 'social_icons_aqua';
@import 'social_icons_default_60';

Wrap with an element of class="social"

<ul class="s16 aqua">
	<li class="social google"></li>
</ul> 

<ul class="s48">
	<li class="social google"></li>
</ul> 

<ul class="s48 aqua">
	<li class="social google"></li>
</ul> 

Call "print_social_icons" method in your partials or views.

<%= print_social_icons %>

<%= print_social_icons :icon_set => 'default', :size => 20 %>
