Addthis Bookmark Integration

[F0xy]

Loved the addition of bookmarks in vbulletin but hated the way they were placed at the bottom of the thread, each time I read a thread I immediately found myself scrolling to the top again. I tried moving the bookmarks to the top but didn't like the way they looked.

I came across http://www.addthis.com which allows you to add a handy piece of code to your website that allows you to bookmark a thread to any of the large bookmark sites, 34 different site's in total with out any mess or cluttering up the postbit area with tons of images. Plus addthis.com track all clicks and pages that have been submitted from your site.

AddThis is already on hundreds of thousands of websites including TIME Magazine, Oracle, TechCrunch, Freewebs, Entertainment Weekly, Topix, Lonely Planet, MySpace, PGA Tour, Tower Records, Squidoo, Zappos, FOX, ABC, CBS just to name a few and could be on your vbulletin forum within minutes!!

Demo click here then a thread to view demo (http://armaghgaa.info/forum/)


Quick and easy installation:
register an account at http://www.addthis.com and log in, once logged in click Get your button code! (http://www.addthis.com/web-button-select.html) and scroll down to and choose from a number of different buttons and get your code.

in SHOWTHREAD
find:

<td class="vbmenu_control" id="threadtools" nowrap="nowrap">


above add:


<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="addthis" nowrap="nowrap">
ADD THE ADDTHIS CODE HERE
</td>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->


done!

Damn simple, thanks. Also you can use the advanced code for even more customization.

<!-- ADDTHIS BUTTON BEGIN -->
<script type="text/javascript">
addthis_pub = 'YOUR-ACCOUNT-ID';
addthis_logo = 'http://www.addthis.com/images/yourlogo.png';
addthis_logo_background = 'EFEFFF';
addthis_logo_color = '666699';
addthis_brand = 'Your Site';
addthis_options = 'favorites, email, digg, delicious, myspace, facebook, google, live, more';
</script>
<a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', '[URL]', '[TITLE]')" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button1-share.gif" width="125" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a>

[F0xy]

[spitb19]

[EyeCrave]

Thanks. I just stumbled upon Add This today and then found this afterwards.

[F0xy]

glad you like it guys

[SSJB_7]

thanks

[F0xy]

no problem mate

[tru1]

Simply amazing :)

[legionofangels]

Had the button installed since last year.

Good mod you have here, but don't need it since we already had it.

I don't understand why anyone doesn't use the Addthis button, it does keep things less cluttered.

We put it on every post rather than every thread though, so people could highlight specific comments if they wanted.

[YLP1]

This is great...thank you..... I noticed something on your demo site that I would also love ---- when I went to your site as a guest, there was a pm flashy for me ---- so I clicked it and it took me to the registration page --- This is AWESOME!!!!

I would love to have this mod ---- is this a free or pruchase mod?

A question about this mod ---- would deleting the standard bookmark in vb code hurt this mod?

[F0xy]

A question about this mod ---- would deleting the standard bookmark in vb code hurt this mod?

no, you can turn off the standard bookmarks and use this mod instead

[hederoglan]

[stejoh]

Does this mod work with vB 3.8.1?

[furst]

Thanks.

How about making another one for the member albums?

[F0xy]

Does this mod work with vB 3.8.1?

yes it should work ok with 3.8.1

[Tophon]

Thanks Foxy, working a treat on 3.8.1.

Installed.

[Haltech]

Anyone have the postbit code for this?

[drsli]

Works perfectly with 3.82 too. Many thanks! :)

[obmob]

I just realized that addthis popups an invisible flash movie coming from clearspring.com, it seems to be tracking what you do.

Read a couple of warnings while googling, any thought from you guys?
You might find clearspring, addthis and statcounter cookies.

[karnevil]

Nice Mod, thanks.

Installed on vB 3.7.0 and placed into each post made on the forum next to the yin yang rep button See screenshot below.

In Postbit Templates>>postbit

Find <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]"><strong>$post[postcount]</strong></a> &nbsp;


Immediately after insert your Addthis code

before

</if>
<if condition="$show['reputationlink']">
<span id="reputationmenu_$post[postid]"><a href="reputation.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]" rel="nofollow" id="reputation_$post[postid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reputation.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_to_xs_reputation]</phrase>

Marked as installed and tipped MOTM.

Thanks F0xy

[goldenchild79]

the twitter button doesn't work right. when i click on the twitter button, it takes me to twitter and there is only a shorten url and @addthis. it doesn't have the title of the thread. anyway i can fix that? thanks.

[GSeybold]

good stuff.. nice forum by the way:)

[Fuzzy Logic]

Works great, thanks, but in your image the button is centered vertically within the box, mine is a little high (the bottom of the button is level with the text in the next box) - anyone know how I can move it down a few pixels or centre it vertically?

Many thanks!

[mrt12345]

Thanks that was great

[Kingdombuilder]

Wow, Thank you and great mod. i have it installed and all is well.

[balkanboy]

OK, I took your instructions and tweaked the AddThis code to make the button blend in with the default vBulletin 3.7.x template, so it looks like an inbuilt feature. I've also added AddThis trackback code to track click analytics for links shared through the AddThis button, and I've set the mouseover pop-up delay to 350ms so that it doesn't annoy users by accidentally popping up the menu on hover.

Here's what it looks like on my forum (see the Share button, note how it looks like an inbuilt vBulletin button). It aligns perfectly in Opera, Chrome and Firefox:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/05/38.png

And here's the code I used:

(make sure to substitute YOURADDTHISUSERNAME and YOURBOARDURL in the code below)


<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="addthis" nowrap="nowrap">
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">
<a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;username=YOURADDTHISUSERNAME" style="text-decoration:none;" class="addthis_button">Share <img src="http://YOURBOARDURL/images/misc/menu_open.gif" BORDER=0 /></a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var addthis_config = {
data_track_clickback: true,
ui_delay: 350
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=YOURADDTHISUSERNAME">
</script>
</td>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->

nice thanks

Having issues in 3.8.4 with people using firefox

http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5049/ugly2.png

I use Google Chrome and dont have that issue. Anyone know a fix?

[PEPITO69]

Yesterday i found the same problem. I had to write quite "____" above, to have enough width in <td> but the result is ugly and doesn't fit in iphone. I try width with % and absolute numbers but didn't work.

http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/1038/assft.gif

[PEPITO69]

Here is my solution:

<td class="vbmenu_control" id="addthis" nowrap="nowrap">

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->


<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" style="width:315px;">
<a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:width="100":layout="button_count"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true};</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xxxxxxxxxxxx"></script>


<!-- AddThis Button END -->

I have a couple of problems:

First the standard code to include in the showthread template is messed up in firefox. The buttons break to three lines. How can I fix that?

Second, how can I code this to show up on the vbadvanced homepage for threads in my news block?

Here is a link to the site: www.maczuki.com (http://www.maczuki.com)
