Better Social Field for Directorist

The Better Social Field for Directorist improves the default social media field experience in the Directorist directory plugin.

By default, Directorist’s social media field uses a dropdown + repeater structure that:
– Sends an unnecessary AJAX request for every new icon added.
– Shows all social networks, even those irrelevant to your directory niche.
– Allows duplicate social entries (e.g., multiple Facebook links).
– Creates a slow and confusing user experience for listing owners.

This plugin fixes all of that!

🚀 Key Improvements:

• No AJAX overhead: Adds multiple social icons instantly, client-side only.
• Cleaner UX: Direct inline editing — no need for repetitive clicks.
• Prevent duplicates: Each social network can only be added once.
• Smart filtering: Define which social networks your directory uses.
• Lightweight: No bloat, no dependencies — just improved logic and UI.

Perfect for any directory site that wants faster, more intuitive listing forms.

Features

• Instant field rendering without AJAX requests.
• Choose which social platforms to display (filter out unused ones).
• Prevent adding the same social platform twice.
• Sleek and minimal UI that fits natively into the Directorist design.
• Compatible with all modern browsers.
• Works seamlessly with the latest Directorist version.
