Digg.com System Integration

[ZomgStuff]

Well I haven't seen this posted yet so I'll give it a crack.
Digg.com will bring your site huge traffic, trust me.
A friend and I made this where you can click "digg this" in a thread and then embed the "digg me" button in a thread.

Screenshots are below.


Admin CP -> Custom BB Code -> Add New BB Code


Title: Digg

Tag: digg

Replacement: <script>
digg_url = '{param}';
</script>
<script src="http://digg.com/api/diggthis.js"></script>

Example: http://digg.com/programming/Xfire_Game_Spoofing

Description: URL TO ARTICLE. Allows you to enter a counter for digg.


Button Image: You can borrow mine. http://www.zomgstuff.net/forum/images/techtwo/editor/digg.gif



Now for the template edit for your submit link to be on the thread.
Admin CP -> Styles and Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Template -> postbit_legacy.
and
Admin CP -> Styles and Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Template -> postbit

For the template code... which template do we put that in?

Thanks

[flamewalker]

postbit_legacy... but i can't get this to work, always says "This doesn't look like a valid url!

[Snake]

Haha where is t he download link? :D

[simalert]

postbit_legacy... but i can't get this to work, always says "This doesn't look like a valid url!

It works perfectly for me. Did you remember to change the URL for your own and not use the example one?

[ZomgStuff]

Haha where is t he download link? :D

There is no download, just this template change. I guess I placed this in the wrong seciton sorry! I just signed up here last night so I was't too familiar where everything went

[projectego]

Awesome idea for a mod! Nice work. ;)

[CBrown]

Where "exactly" am I putting that code in my postbit_legacy template? Before/after with a condition? I'm new at this.. sorry. Love the mod idea.

[simalert]

You can put it anywhere you want, it depends where on the screen you want it to appear.

I wanted mine appearing before the 'Thanks' button that's part of the thanks hack so I added it before that. If I didn't have the thanks hack I'd have looked for the edit button code and placed it before that. This would have then put the link at the bottom of the post window by the edit and quote buttons.

Don't forget to change the image part too so it's a valid image.

[ZomgStuff]

Depends on where you want it. The simplest way is to copy the entire code for the template, paste it in Dreamweaver and place your mouse where you want it to be, then paste the code. Here is where I placed mine (in postbit), although I don't know if it will be the same for you because my template is heavily modded.

After
<div class="normal">
<a name="post$post[postid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/post_$post[statusicon].gif" alt="$post[statustitle]" border="0" /></a><if condition="$show['inlinemod']"><input type="checkbox" name="plist[$postid]" id="plist_$postid" style="vertical-align:middle; padding:0px; margin:0px 0px 0px 5px" value="$post[checkbox_value]" /></if>
</div>
<!-- / status icon and date -->
</td>

<td class="thead" style="font-weight:normal">

<div class="normal" style="float:$stylevar[right]">
and before <if condition="$show['postcount']">(#<a href="showpost.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]&amp;postcount=$post[postcount]" target="new" rel="nofollow" id="postcount$post[postid]" name="$post[postcount]">$post[postcount]</a>)</if>

[pcoskat]

Ok...I'm lost. In the screenshots, it looks like the digg button is in the sig, or actually in the post.

Does any have any live versions of this?

[ZomgStuff]

Once you dugg the thread you can place the digg bb code anywhere such as digg.com/article anywhere, IE in the post or in your sig. There I have it in my signature AND the tread.

[Lizard King]

You have tons of errors in the code you gave. Here is the corrected one
<a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http://www.url.net/forum/showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]&title=$post[title]" target="_blank"><img src="IMAGEHERE" border="0" /></a>

border=0 doesn't need the "" because it's not a string, for numbers you don't need it. That might be wrong but it's worked for me before. How is this tons?

[UgLy-NeRd]

Nice. Thanks.

[a1whs.com]

Tried a lot but does not work for me at all.

[ZomgStuff]

Please elaborate?

[a1whs.com]

According to your image : http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/1613/sn1ow5.jpg

It does not work that way, it works only when replying to a post. Not like the one you show in the image on the top right, just like reporting users icons etc. i was expecting it to be there.

Totally Different thing.

[ZomgStuff]

Then I think you placed the code in the wrong spot. You can click that link whether you are replying or not.

[a1whs.com]

Strange i followed your instructions, this is valid for 3.6.4 right?

[ZomgStuff]

Correct sir. Post your template, I'll do my best to take a look at it.

[a1whs.com]

Fixed it, your instructions were wrong.

Here is the new set of instructions:

Admin CP -> Styles and Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Template -> postbit_legacy.

and

Admin CP -> Styles and Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Template -> postbit

Some people use Postbit and some use postbit legacy. I think he meant to just place the code in which ever one you use...

73 seconds install this mod,and no problem founded.Thanks

[v12kid]

I am a nub so please excuse me :)

my friend installed it for me so I am unsure if it was done right but I only see the Digg post button in the postbit wysiwyg menu next to the php tags icon. I would like the feature to work where users would be able to click an icon or some text to digg the article/thread automatically

currently I have to encode a url in my thread with the digg bb code.

any input is appreciated

[mikehawk]

So do you type a message in a thread, and if you want to digg it, you add a black at the end of it?

My "Digg" it icon shows when making a new thread...

[ZomgStuff]

To create a new digg article you click the digg link <A HREF="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http://www.url.net/forum/showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]&title=$post[title]" target="_blank"><img src="IMAGEHERE" border=0></A>


Then if you wanan embed the the already dugg story so it can be dugg, you put the url int he digg tags.

Yea lol was moving the site to a different server. forgot to put up the down for maintenance html page... usually can pull it off with no downtime but I started it when I was tired and messed up on the sql import... "tried to do it from a uncompressed sql backup file = Very large= server choked" had to bzip it...
Then I realized I transfered the wrong directory from the backups, was a long nite...

Anyway its up again BiTT Daily (http://bittdaily.com/)
Heres a link to this mod in action TY again :) Post Link (http://bittdaily.com/) The Digg button is in the upper right...

Great Mod...

[ZomgStuff]

Hah, nice to know!

[zenkaizen]

Would it be possible to set this up so that only an Admin or Moderator could initially "Digg" the thread and then once done, and rest of the forum members could "Digg" the thread?

I think this would be useful as i've heard that a few forums have already been banned from digg.com for spamming (30+ digg articles per day) and this would allow the forum Admin and Moderators to choose which threads are worthy for submission so as to not get banned.

[ZomgStuff]

Use this

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5,6)"><b><u><a href="URL">Name</a></u></b></if>

[fishhub]

since there is no import of downloads. Can it be applied for 3.5.x users?

[bacanze]

Were should the code be placed in posbit & postbit legacy?

[ZomgStuff]

Where ever you want. What I found best was to copy the template, paste it in Dreamweaver and place my cursor where I wanted it, and then place the code. You can PM me your template code and a picture of where you want it.

[Spinball]

Hello,
I think this could be a very important hack. I want to put the digg button down the bottom near the edit button. I have edited postbit_legacy and put the code in there (available only to moderators) but it appears after PMs as well as posts. What am I doing wrong?

I think both the main digg it button and the bbcode counter and button should be placable only by mods, supermods and admin. How would you edit the bbcode so normal users can't see the bbcode button?

I think the OP needs to put a little help with template editing in there for utter newbies so this hack is a little more accessible.

I have attached a diggit button I made.

[fishhub]

would be great if there could be a forum id to view all digg threads.:)

[The Bish]

This interests me very much but I am wondering if anyone would be able to help me integrate Digg with vBArticles. I really have no interest in having my members "Digg" the posts on my site and to be honest I am not sure I have the traffic to compete with the items on the Digg site. What does interest me, and what I do think will get "Dugg" :confused: the most, are the Blogs on my site.

Thoughts anyone?

If the name of the article is too long, sometimes it wont show right and will be an error. I don't know why, but it's something to do with digg.

I don't have this installed, but you would somehow have to know the link of the thread. I don't know how the name of the URL is formed, or how it can be found using variables.

Hi there.

As you can see in the picture I have the digg image and it tells me how many diggs I have, now when I click on digg it nothing happens and then I get an error on my page after clicking digg it.

probably figured it out by now, but I'll post it anyway. Remember to change url.net to your url

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5,6)"><b><u><a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http://www.url.net/forum/showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]&title=$post[title]" target="_blank"><img src="IMAGEHERE" border=0></a></u></b></if>


Here's the full code I am using. It makes it so only admin/supermod can see it and puts it in the first post only.
<!-- Start Digg Button -->
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5,6) and (($post[postcount]==1) and !$GLOBALS['vbulletin']->GPC['ajax'])"><b><u><a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http://www.silvercarclub.com/forums/showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]&title=$post[title]" target="_blank"><img src="images/misc/digg_this.gif" border=0 alt="Digg This"></a></u></b></if>&nbsp;
<!-- end digg button -->

Where it says "$bbuserinfo, 5,6" you can add whatever usergroup there you want to be able to see/use the digg button. Just add another comma and add the number.
Be sure to change www.silvercarclub.com to your forum.


Thanks to Michael2 and ZomgStuff

[nikki712]

I have private forums and don't want any of those threads "dugg". Since they're private, I assume that even if someone did "digg it", it wouldn't show up anywhere, right?

[nikki712]

Is there any way to for administrators to be able to just digg the FIRST post in CERTAIN forums, and then allow other members to digg that same post?

[taheri6]

Hi,

I cant get this to work well, the diggit.gif link works fine, but the embeded bbcode always shows 0 diggs even when its been submitted. Also, when you click on digg in the post it says that the URL is invalid. The first link itself works fine to submit the post however.

So I did what the person above mentioned, and used the following after the controls line


<div><if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) and (($post[postcount]==1) and !$GLOBALS['vbulletin']->GPC['ajax'])">
<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script></if></div><br />


I get the same result there, it always says 0 diggs even when there are some, when you click on digg there it doesnt say that its an invalid URL at least, but it doesnt populate the title, etc like the other digg link did.
