About ShareSphere

ShareSphere is a cross-game social network for Roblox, but what does that really mean?

In simpler terms, it’s twitter, but for roblox. In each game with ShareSphere installed, users are able to open the ShareSphere window and share posts. Users can see posts created in their current game, or across all games with ShareSphere installed.

These posts can include pictures, invitesâ—Š(to server or game), donation requestsâ—Š, pollsâ—Š, and more.

Posts on ShareSphere can also be promotedâ—Š. Users can pay to send their post to the top of the global or local feed.

Installation

Installing ShareSphere is easy, but there are some important steps and options, so make sure to read the guide thoroughly.

Before you begin, you should decide if you want to use ShareSphere standalone, or bundled with RoPhone.

Standalone

Only the bundled version is available during the early access program

Bundled with RoPhone (recommended)

Installing ShareSphere bundled with RoPhone is simple.

  1. Get the installer model from the developer marketplace here.

  2. Create an access key here.

  3. Install ShareSphere using the RoPhone installer.

    If you do not already have RoPhone installed
    1. Run the following command in the studio command bar:
      local installer = require(94927954143865) installer.installRoPhone({installShareSphere = true})
    If you already have RoPhone installed
    1. Run the following command in the studio command bar:
      local installer = require(94927954143865) installer.installShareSphere()
  4. Configure ShareSphere.
    Add your access key, created in step two, to the configuration object in ServerScriptService.ShareSphereServerHandler.

  5. Allow HTTP requests, third party sales, and third party teleports.

  6. Thats it! You have now installed ShareSphere bundled with RoPhone.

    Note: To create topbar buttons to easily access RoPhone, either add the createTopbarPlusButton = true option to the installRoPhone command, or run local installer = require(94927954143865) installer.createTopbarPlusButton()

    Additional notice: If you experience an error similar to No VALID default application is selected., please set ReplicatedStorage.roPhone.configuration.defaultApplication to an application in the applications folder. Either homeScreen or shareSphere is recommended.
