This has evolved into full digg integration, when someone diggs someone elses topic. And someone on digg.com clicks on the link, the thread poster gets credited with 1 digg. Plus the digg button with the current digg count gets added to the threads postbit.

version 1.05 updated

Ok heres a scenario someone likes your thread and they are a digg member. They decide to digg it, 4 mins later your digged page is on diggs upcoming page and someone decides to click it. Your forum will see that the visitor is coming from digg.com and trying to access thread X, what will happen next is your forum will use diggs API to check if the thread URL is dugg if it is it will record the DIGG url and add it to your thread. Now if a thread has a digg url then the process wont be repeated.

Hope you like it, i spent some time on it :D

100% template/file edit free

[Coders Shack]

ok, if you installed it please tell me if its working. :D

Thanks a lot :) Installed !

[Coders Shack]

ok final one is 2.04 used a different template hook, and tested it.

[Coders Shack]

ok im going to bed lol :P

night

[projectego]

Looks awesome! Thanks a bunch, CS! ;)

[amjadakmal]

Very Nice .. This is what i was looking for.. I am not Coder .. .Thanks this really helped me.

[Coders Shack]

doesnt seem that many people want this...

I finished v1.05 but not for release, if more people wanted it i would make it release ready.

[nanaimobar]

Downloaded and installed product. Works Great.

Maybe the traffic on this product is not high as it is a major holiday long weekend in the U.S. Indy 500, Nascar CC600, sunny weather, parties and stuff.

Post the update.

[Devil Woman]

Thanks for this, just what I have been looking for working great :)

Installed on my site. I love how all the icons show up. Keep up the great work.

install the new one its better, automatically adds the digg url.

[Coders Shack]

whats next in 1.06 ?
ability to change digg background through acp
user digg count (when the digg automation system picks up a digg it will give the thread poster 1 digg point or what ever. Goal is an incentive to digg your threads = more traffic)

[gforce75]

Alright, I'll check it out

[Billspaintball]

Is there an option so that you can only Digg posts that are visible to guests?
I can see it being a problem if people Digg posts that are only visible when logged in.

[Coders Shack]

well ill add that to 1.06 if you want. Has no use for me but it may for others.

A digg to a login-only would prolly get you a member.

[DementedMindz]

Coders Shack nice work I must say but any chance of having it so you can enable it per forum? cause I'm sure on mostly all sites some section of the forum wouldn't use this. (ex. Site Rules)

1.06

ok any other ideas?

[DementedMindz]

Not that I can think of now once they are added maybe once I wake up a bit more :)

[Billspaintball]

Enabling it per forum would solve my problem too.

I could just enable it to forums in which guests had access.

ok i have decided to give a disable forums option as for the guest feature you can just disable that forum.

lol it was tricky, because i already have soo many if statements. Look at the 1.06 Template Edits plugin lol.

the product is just getting larger lol, started at 3kb and is now almost 9kb

[Coders Shack]

feedback is greatly appriciated, if you would like to see any additions or changes I'm open to hearing them.

[karlm]

Gonna check it out :)

[Fireproof]

Looks good - think I'll try it.

[Fireproof]

I'm a newbie, so go easy on me. ;)

I have a custom skin that changes the look of postbit_legacy. When I enable DiggTopic, the Diggs count for the users doesn't look great. (See attached screenshot).

What would I need to edit to get it to display like my Location and Posts boxes in the postbit?

[nanaimobar]

Congratulations on all the updates so quickly. Much appreciated.

I seem to have a problem with the postbit bg colour, or maybe it's my understanding of a postbit.

I changed the bg colour for the postbit in the admincp but the "Digg this story" button background stayed the same. I tried several different bg colours and the button background didn't change.

Granted, I'm an impatient fellow and immediately went to forum page and refreshed it to see if bg had changed.

I simply wanted the "Digg this story" button bg to stand out a tad more in both IE and Firefox.

Does the postbit bg line in admincp change the bg on the "Digg this story" button?

[Panagioths]

The "diggs" in postbit after I dugg some threads from my forum remained 0. When there is a number in the postbit changes?

[pcoskat]

install the new one its better, automatically adds the digg url.

Well that answers my question. From the current description in the OP, the process sounded manual.

Now that it's automatic, I'm digging your digg! :D

Clicks install.

the postbit bg only apply's after the story has been dugg, if you would like to be able to change the digg image i may be ables to do something.

The "diggs" in postbit after I dugg some threads from my forum remained 0. When there is a number in the postbit changes?

you forum needs to update the count, it isn't instant.

see digg.com takes time to register you url as dugg, even though you see your story. Also the digg count only changes when your topic gets automatically dugg, so the manually adding the digg url will avoid adding a digg to your account.

hmm, i really want to avoid template changes. I guess i can add a option in the ACP like postbit diggs CLASS or somthing the reason why it shows up like that is because the <div has a custom class.

Well, it might look better if it were added under the Instant Messaging icons, and maybe with a space in front of Diggs, so that is a little better aligned. Just a thought.

Good work so far.


If I wanted to play with the code, can you tell me what DiggTopic code I'd need to manually insert into the Postbit_legacy template? I can play around with it manually to see if I can come up with some better placement.

But I agree with you - I was attracted to your Mod specifically because of no template changes required. ;)

[Coders Shack]

lol dont bother messing with the plugin code its very complex.

i might create postbit template hooks, like:

<!-- diggTopic_digg -->
<!-- diggTopic_usercount -->

for custom positioning.

That would be awesome. Much like some of the other mods out there (Billspaypal comes to mind). Most of the automatically placed things don't work for my custom skin, so it's nice to be able to manually place some code-bits where I need them.

added all your suggestions

also fireproof for the custom digg user count placement it will just product a number so you can do this:

<div class="info">
Diggs: <!-- diggTopic_userdiggcount -->
</div>

[Coders Shack]

if you can think of anything else to add I'm open to suggestions :D

also if your upgrading from 1.05, 1.04 , 1.02 then uninstall the product and re-install it. If your upgrading from 1.06 then just update the product.

[Darat]

I'd just started checking version 1.06 out, had a problem with a custom style and before I could even post a question about it you've uploaded a new version that solves the problem I had!

Now that's what I call great service - now if you could just tell me next week's lottery numbers.

[Coders Shack]

lol only if :(

no problem.

[Fireproof]

LOL at Darat and the lottery! :D

Great job Coders Shack. Thanks for the quick response. Going to update this afternoon.

[Coders Shack]

oh no problem, only thing i can think of adding now is a option to swich between the compact digg and the normal:

example: http://digg.com/img/integrate-example.png

when using the normal one you would have to use a custom placement for it because its too large.

[Fireproof]

Okay, I wish I was more experienced (just got my board converted to vB recently, so I'm still learning it...)

At any rate, I'm still working on getting the css / postbit editing just right, but one thing I noticed is there is no option to turn OFF the auto-addition of the Digg count.. In otherwords, I can manually add mine, but if the Mod is enabled, it ALSO shows yours...

dont really understand what you mean ? are you talking abt the user digg count? its in the ACP.

if <!-- diggTopic_userdiggcount --> is in the postbit template it will not use the old template replacement.

can i get a link to your page

Oh - okay - I thought if I disabled that, then it wouldn't count them at all. But are you saying it just won't display them? And as long as I manually add that code somewhere, then it will show their counts?

Also - how does that codebit work - I thought <!-- was for comments and nothing after it does anything? (Told you I'm a newbie).

My site is at http://www.clutchfitness.com/forums if you want to have a look.. Haven't figured out the postbit part yet.

ok just add this under your post count div:
<div class="postdata">
Diggs: <!-- diggTopic_userdiggcount -->
</div>
and leave it on.

also I'm just using the <!-- --> as a marker, when the template is processed it looks for <!-- diggTopic_userdiggcount --> and replaces it with the code.

[Fireproof]

Okay, below is the code I added (I have to use that div class to get it to match the others). It looks real good, but it's not showing a "0" (zero) as expected.

Here's the code:
<div class="smallfont">
&nbsp;<br />
<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div class="postdata">$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>
<if condition="$post['field2']"><div class="postdata">$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[field2]</div></if>
<if condition="$post['age']"><div class="postdata">$vbphrase[age]: $post[age]</div></if>
<div class="postdata">
$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
</div>
<!-- Digg Counts -->
<div class="postdata">Diggs:<!-- diggTopic_userdiggcount--></div>
<!-- /Digg Counts -->
<if condition="$show['infraction']"><div class="postdata">$vbphrase[infractions]: $post[warnings]/$post[infractions] ($post[ipoints])</div></if>
<if condition="$show['reputation']"><div class="postdata"><if condition="$show['reppower']">$vbphrase[reppower]: <span id="reppower_$post[postid]_$post[userid]">$post[reppower]</span> </if><span id="repdisplay_$post[postid]_$post[userid]">$post[reputationdisplay]</span></div></if>

there is no <!-- diggTopic_diggit --> in the template, its optional once you addit it, it places the digg button there.

LOL. Editing postbit_legacy. You can see the attached screenshot - looks real purdy!! But I dug myself and I'm not getting any "diggs" calculated. (But the digg worked - went to digg, posted it, etc.)

Oooh - very nice - thank you! :up:


Okay - something else isn't working quite right. I can't find where I can see the Digg URL. Even when I edit the thread, I don't get the manual box or an auto-populated one like you show in your screenshots.

And a feature request: Anyway we can show that it's been Dugg? Like change the button or something? Or show the number of diggs?

Nothing changed on my dugg thread, but when I tried to digg it again, it DID link up appropriately and say "Cool, this story has already been dugg" and then it displayed it at Digg.com. Very cool.

[Fireproof]

you should at least be getting a 0 did you disable it in the acp?


Nope. It's enabled now. Dugg a thread to see if I would see a "1". Nope. :(

[Coders Shack]

ha... i see your problem the replacement needs to be added perfectly:

<!-- diggTopic_userdiggcount --> not <!-- diggTopic_userdiggcount-->

you forgot a space at the end.

[Billspaintball]

Installed but had to disable :(

Got the attached error message on a number of pages.
I havent had time to look at the code yet to see if I can work out why.

When this error occurs the Digg button will not display.

Happens with both IE7 and Firefox 2

[Panagioths]

It's very cool indeed. I would also like if it's possible to be added at the thread's title at the first post

[rantrave]

FYI - This didn't work if you are using "First post on all pages" hack. If you disable, everything works great.

[Fireproof]

Coder Shack - sent you a PM. Can you check on it. I'm excited to get this working for me.

[Freak0204]

Does this not work with Zoints Synergy or something? I see the Diggs count but the 'digg this story' button is nowhere to be found.

[duckdodger]

Installed!

I saw something like this a while back, but it didn't work nearly as well. This is a very slick mod and it integrates beautifully.

Thanks!

[duckdodger]

I'm using the vBadvanced CMPS portal, and was wondering how I might get the digg image to display next to the reply button for news posts so users can see the ability to digg the story without clicking into the topic?

[jamsgra]

Hi, this looks great - I installed without problem but it only displays the "Digg This Story" button. It dosn't show a digg count, or even realise if the story has already been dugg.

Also I have a suggestion - if you add "&name=" to the query string of the digg submit URL you can automatically add the thread title to the digg submit. Speed the submission up a bit.

Thanks,

James

I'm having that same problem and haven't solved it yet. If you do, please post here.

[jamsgra]

Still working on it I'm afraid...

Also - now this is probably a real noob question - but how do I get to the admin screen? Obviously there is the standard vbulletin plugin management stuff - I mean the specific admin as show in one of the screenshots (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=64809&d=1180343030).

Thanks again

[Fireproof]

Look in AdminCP >> vBulletin Options >> DiggTopic Settings. Should be near the bottom of that list. ;)

downloaded and installed, where in the admincp are the settings for it? Or are there any settings at all?

[DementedMindz]

Its really up to the person installing it but by far I would say this one is.

[kyokushin4life]

may i ask why this is superior?

[Coders Shack]

read the desc.

also I'm still trying to find out why the autoadd feature isn't working, i think its because i coded mine for VBSEO. But i tried to make it work with normal VB sections but never tested it.

Ill be setting up a temp test forum to see whats happening.

and the settings are in the ACP under:
vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> diggTopic Settings

and for the people that cant get the autoadd to work please disable these two settings:
1) Show Users Diggs
2) Enable autoadd?

This will leave you with the manual url add. During the week i have little time to support my mods.

[Coders Shack]

ok set up a test board, and realized the problem, autoadd now works for vbulltin without VBSEO too.

Hope you like :D

[Coders Shack]

also may be adding digg display for topics on forum display if enough interest.

[jamsgra]

I still just see the Digg button, it doesn't show if the post has already been dugg? How do I add the digg counter?

Its working fine on my site.. only small annoying detail i noticed is that the "digg this story" button seems to change sometimes.
Sometimes its a button, sometimes just text or sometimes just another button "digg it".

Since its an externally hosted part, it might be something to do with the diggit site itself..

No big problem though... just weird

you can make your own image, just make sure its the same size as the digg this story one. And just add the url to the image in the ACP options. Not sure what you mean by it being just text, but when its digg it that means that the story has already been dugg.

Okay, it's still not working quite right for me.

And here's the link to the thread that is not getting a "digg this thread" button (but the others are):


I also get this error - but only on some threads. When the error appears, no Digg button is displayed. If the page (thread) loads without an error, I get the digg button displayed.

I would conclude from this that there is an error processing the code to display the digg button.

This occurs even with the default vBulletin style.

[duckdodger]

Is it possible to have the digg button displayed on the news module of vbadvanced? I would like it to appear next to the reply and/or sendtofriend button.

The error is

Expected: ')'

This is the line generating the error (from View Source):

document.write('<A HREF="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=' + location.href +'&title=Deadly twist at the chiropractor's office"><img src="./images/100x20-digg-button.gif" width="100" height="20" alt="Digg!" border="0"/></a>');

and as you can see the title= part contains an apostrophe:

'&title=Deadly twist at the chiropractor's office

I don't know if this is characteristic of other threads that don't display the button but this should be handled with a "replace" to add a \ before the apostrophe. It's basically a parsing problem.

Alternatively, leave out the thread title from the URL but have the URL open in a new window so that the individual can cut-and-paste into the Digg window from the forum. I would actually prefer this solution for several reasons.

Good find! :up: That's where the error is occurring for me - on my threads where there's an apostrophe in the title (as in "FP's beginner's guide...").

[GuaRRand]

i uninstalled it ... but the WRAPP in a newreply/newpost isnt gone (see attachement)

Where do i have to look to remove this?
i checked newreply.php and the templates, but cant find it..

wrong mod... this hack has nothing to do with a wrap.

[777connect]

I have installed and it seems to be working fine. Very easy install. My question is that the "digg this story" button does not show up on my GARS threads. Is there a fix for this?

[Coders Shack]

did you try using the custom replacement:

<!-- diggTopic_diggit -->

place that where you want it to show up in your template.

[TheMilkCarton]

Is it possible to add an "Include" list in addition to the "Exclude" list? I only want this on a few forums and that means typing out a huge list of forums to Exclude.

I thought maybe I could just wrap a conditional around the <!-- diggTopic_diggit --> code in the postbit, but I haven't tried that and I'm not positive it would work.

[skepticality]

Very cool!


if theres still active intrest in this modification ill be releasing the new addition that displays the diggs on forum display:

demo: http://codersshack.com/forums/php_11/

[skepticality]

Are you going to do this version? :)

[John Diver]

Looking forward to getting this working.

My site is Deuce Ace (Http://www.deuceace.com) but it isn't showing up - Should I do anything to my custom style for it?

Thanks

Anyone have a fix for this yet?

[John Diver]

Anyone able to help with my post 2 up?

Still cant get this working on my site.

Thanks

[venomx]

Did you try adding the code yourself for the image to appear?

[John Diver]

Yeah I have the code added - It is showing 0 for the digg count but none of the images are showing.

You can see it here (http://www.deuceace.com/showpost.php?p=11890&postcount=12).

Thanks :)

[ArashB]

If you change the url of the digg button, it's going to keep the size of the original button, so your new button will look differently, I recommend you remove the width and height attributes in the button you have used, or put size options for admin control panel.

And This is a good product, thanks for making it

[ArashB]

I made the neccessary changes, I hope you don't mind if I attach the changed file.

[project-Buckfas]

I'm trying to get this to show in vbadvanced but can't get it too work.

I placed the hook in adv_portal_newsbits in many different locations and still havent had any luck! Any ideas?

[venomx]

So no fix for the apostrophe in the title problem?

[rldu]

Hack installed and works great. I appreciate all of the hard work.

[venomx]

I made the neccessary changes, I hope you don't mind if I attach the changed file.

What changes did you make?
Does yours fix the ' ` and " problems?

[LewisAinslie]

It doesnt work when you have a mod_rewrite mod

[0tolerance]

could it be my SEO software that is giving me an error.
when it loads digg, it says this link does not appear to be valid or something simmilar.
but you can access the thread from that page..

im also using mod_rewrite

[michaelsilvia]

Works for me, but the threads stay "Digg This" even after 5-6 Diggs. Shouldn't the thread update with the amount of Diggs?

[wtricks]

not working for me either, isn't digg giving the issues? or?

[question?]

Not working here, got vbseo also

[almightyone]

i have the same prob with the digg this staying there and also noticed some threads are missing the digg this story button :(

[popowich]

Hello.

I tried to use this, and have a digg account (can people without digg account use this?) but when I dig a nifty post, such as this one (http://www.wnypoker.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22073), I get the following error from digg.com : "Sorry - bad IP address". I am not trying to dig garbage. I am trying to dig good content and article with this product.

[fionix]

Installed, everything works perfectly

www.cybercroft.com - checkit out.

[Ratman2050]

Haha this is great work thanks!

[Ryuk]

thank u! I needed this! n_n

[nikki712]

I'm very new to Digg, so maybe this is a dumb question but - on the "Digg count" - I've dugg two threads on my forum, but my count keeps going up. It's up to 14 now. Why is that? How does that work? Anyone?

[nikki712]

*installed*

Still have the same question about how "Digg counts" are calculated. See above post. Thanks!

[hobsdv]

this is another great mod should work well on my forum

[Mag1c]

need help, it is not showing up on my site.. i have vbseo installed maybe that is it?

please fix

and where do we place the template edits in postbit legacy?

[maximux1]

Hello CS,

This looks to be a nice feature and I am trying very hard to add it to my site, however I have run into a lot of problems getting the product to work.

Pretty strange problem, actually - because it 'appears' to be working - that is when I view the source code. However, the page never displays the digg button. This appears to be a javascript error.

Below is the code snipped that is generating the js error. The error is "expected ')' " however, I'm not certain where or how I correct this.


<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right"><div style="float: left;"> <script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<A onclick="urchinTracker ('/outgoing/http_digg_com_submit_phase_2_url_');" HREF="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=' + location.href +'&title=WARNING: Blackwater to take over War On Drugs"><img src="http://digg.com/img/badges/100x20-digg-button.gif" alt="Digg!" border="0"/></a>');
</script> </div> </div>


example page: http://www.marijuana.com/drug-war-headline-news/80557-warning-blackwater-take-over-war-drugs.html

I would appreciate any assistance.

Thank you

Ok, I now see that the problem has to do with vBSEO and tracking of outside links using Google Analytics. I have disabled the tracking of outside links temporarily and the product now shows as expected.

I will need the ability to use vBSEO to track outside links - is this something that can be accommodated in the product? I dont know a thing about JS, but it appears to be a problem with escaping of characters, or that is my best guess.

Thanks

[maximux1]

I can confirm that the apostrophe problem still exists in version 1.08. This problem is compounded if you are using vBSEO & Tracking of external links using Google Analytics.

One thing I would like to be able to better understand is how the user digg count is 'supposed' to work. It's hard to tell if it is working correctly as the count does not appear to increase after a digg. Is there a cron setting that should be updated or run?

On a side note. This product should be extremely useful for any forum, however - the documentation is a bit lacking, or did I miss it? I loved the simplicity of no templates edits, etc, however I do think that as the product continues to evolve that an updated readme would be extremely helpful. This thread goes through six different versions with little organization.

It appears that most of the problems folks are having here are mostly related to vBSEO and the apostrophe problem. A two line readme could save hours time for others.

Thank you for this product.

[maximux1]

After giving it a day, no update in digg counts.

Does anyone understand how the digg count is supposed to work?

Thanks

I am wondering about this too :)

I thought it should change, but I don't see it.

Also something a bit weird going on

I dugg this story - just trying out the system: http://www.nettrafficchat.com/showthread.php?t=2839

and when you go to digg and click on the link to go back to my site (from digg) - it's the same link, but it's going to a blank page??? Pretty strange!

Any ideas? Oh, and yeah, I am a bit of a noobie so please be kind :)

[vgevolution]

The apostrophe bug hits you whether it's in the title or description. Actually, anywhere in the digg xml data that gets returned. However, I have a fix for that.

Go to your AdminCP --> Plugins Manager
Find the "diggTopic - Autoadd" plugin and Edit it
Find the following code:

$digg_url = preg_match_between(' href="','" ', $digg_xml);

Add the following code below it:

$digg_url = addslashes($digg_url);

Finally, Save your changes.

This will escape unsafe characters for the database update. I don't know if there are other similar errors from the other plugins, but I imagine the fix would be similar. This fixed my digg referral links (links referred to my site from digg.com were generating SQL errors) caused by an apostrophe in the subject line of my digg submission. Your mileage may vary.

Perhaps the author will include this fix in the next update? *hint hint* :)

[DarthCoder]

This is buggy.
The digg isnt enabled for threads made in forums that was created after installing the plugin.

Does this plugin work properly yet? If not, what's needed to fix it?

[sunnylikbeckham]

wow man
exactly i was looking for
installed

[sweetguy2004]

Thanks mate installed working gr8 :D

[nick!]

Works well with 3.6.8 - Thanks for the plugin, I think its a very good mod, and will work great with vbseo (http://www.vbseo.com/)- btw, I recommend that mod to all, its not free but well worth it.

AND...LoL @ Installation Time: [error] number too small

[nick!]

1 last thing, what is the most efficient way to make this mod really get more traffic in the long run. I don't want to keep submitting tons and tons of links to digg myself, is it better if other digg members do it for me in the forums over time? Thankyou. My board were down for awhile and not alot of active members...
