Check and show messages inside plugin configuration, e.g. check Article Manager parameter show_article_options which will prevent SocialMeta TAB from showing inside article form
- Either create a new form element (parameter) (for better placement):
class JFormFieldSocialMetaChecks extends JFormFieldList
- or via enqueueing a message on as system event of the plugin
JFactory::getApplication()->enqueueMessage('..', 'warning');
So to avoid user wondering why social TAB is not showing when:
JComponentHelper::getParams( 'com_content' )->get('show_article_options') == 0
We need to add a warning message like:
'Article manager' parameter: "Show article options", needs to be enabled otherwise,
plugin's 'Social' parameter TAB , will not be shown in the article form
