Installation

Details
Category: Getting Started
  • Applicable Software: MokoOnyxSocial
  • Min Version Number: In Development
  • Max Version Number: Not Applicable

MokoOnyxSocial is installed as a Joomla package extension containing the core component, system plugins, and all service plugins for 36+ platforms. Installation takes just a few minutes.

Requirements

  • Joomla 6.0 or higher
  • PHP 8.3 or higher
  • cURL PHP extension (enabled by default on most hosts)

Installation Steps

  1. Download the package ZIP from the Moko Consulting portal or your WaaS dashboard.
  2. In Joomla, navigate to System → Install → Extensions.
  3. Upload the package ZIP file and click Upload and Install.
  4. The installer will automatically enable the core component, system plugin, and all service plugins.

After Installation

Navigate to Components → MokoOnyx Social to access the dashboard. From here you can:

  • Add your first service connection
  • Configure message templates
  • Set up queue processing (recommended: Joomla Scheduled Tasks)

Queue Processing Setup

For reliable delivery, we recommend using Joomla's built-in Task Scheduler:

  1. Go to System → Scheduled Tasks.
  2. Click New and select MokoOnyx Social - Process Queue.
  3. Set the interval (e.g., every 5 minutes).
  4. Save and enable the task.

Alternatively, page-load processing is available as a fallback for sites without cron access, but it is less reliable on low-traffic sites.

Update Server

MokoOnyxSocial includes a Joomla update server. When new versions are released, you will see an update notification in System → Update → Extensions.

Introduction

  • Applicable Software: MokoOnyxSocial
  • Min Version Number: In Development
  • Max Version Number: Not Applicable

MokoOnyxSocial is a Joomla extension that does two things automatically when you publish an article: it cross-posts to social media, email marketing platforms, and chat services, and it injects social meta tags (Open Graph, Twitter/X Cards, and JSON-LD structured data) so your content looks polished wherever it is shared. Instead of manually sharing each article and hand-crafting meta tags, MokoOnyxSocial does it all at once.

How Cross-Posting Works

  1. You publish an article in Joomla as you normally would.
  2. MokoOnyxSocial detects the publish event and queues cross-posts to your connected services.
  3. Posts are sent automatically to each platform using your configured message templates.
  4. Results are logged so you can see which posts succeeded, failed, or are still queued.

Social Meta Tags

On the front end, MokoOnyxSocial generates the meta tags that control how your pages appear when shared:

  • Open Graph — title, description, image, and type for Facebook, LinkedIn, and most platforms.
  • Twitter/X Cards — summary and large-image cards.
  • JSON-LD structured data — Article and Organization schema for search engines.

Supported Platforms (36+ Services)

MokoOnyxSocial supports an extensive range of platforms organized by category:

Social Media

Facebook, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, Pinterest, Reddit, Tumblr, TikTok, Nostr, and ActivityPub (Fediverse).

Chat and Messaging

Telegram, Discord, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, WhatsApp Business, Matrix/Element, and Ntfy push notifications.

Email and Newsletter

Mailchimp, SendGrid, Brevo (Sendinblue), ConvertKit, and Constant Contact.

Publishing and Blogging

Medium, WordPress, Dev.to, Ghost, Hashnode, and Google Blogger.

Business and Universal

Google Business Profile, Generic Webhooks (Zapier, IFTTT, n8n, Make), and RSS Feed generation.

Key Features

  • Per-article control — skip cross-posting or select specific services per article
  • Message templates — customize the message format for each platform with placeholders
  • Queue processing — posts are queued and processed reliably, with automatic retries for failures
  • Social meta tags — automatic Open Graph, Twitter/X Card, and JSON-LD output
  • Default mode — for services like Telegram, Discord, and Slack, a pre-configured Default (MokoWaaS) connection is available so you can get started instantly
  • OAuth integration — one-click authorization for Facebook, LinkedIn, and other OAuth services
