MAS_Socials 1.0.3 is a maintenance and quality release for the unified social publishing module for CMS Made Simple. It improves ModuleChecker compliance and code structure while keeping Discord, Facebook, Twitter/X, TikTok, URL shortening, and blast workflows unchanged for operators.


What's new in 1.0.3


Large admin and module files split for the 500-line limit and clearer maintainability.

Third-party service documentation added to readme.md (YOURLS, Bitly, TinyURL, Discord, Facebook, X/Twitter, TikTok).

URL shortener, Discord embed helpers, and CGWebPush preference bridge moved to dedicated lib/ classes.

Reduced nesting and improved error logging across services.

No database schema changes required.



Upgrade notes


Install or upload the release, then run Upgrade in Module Manager if prompted.

Existing API tokens, webhook URLs, blast templates, and auto-post settings for News/CGBlog continue to work unchanged.

Compatible with CMSMS 2.2.22+ and PHP 7.4+ (PHP 8.x recommended).
