Does anyone know how to get the little icons to send individual posts to Facebook, Furl, Technorati, Delicious, etc??

vBSEO has them on their forums like this:

https://www.vbseo.com/f2/how-include-forum-google-ranking-29456/

I'd like to put them on mine.

You can modify the postbit templates to include the code those sites give you for linking to them.

Or you can use the built in vBulletin social bookmarking feature, as there really isn't a need to show them for each post, just each thread.

Thanks. I know it seems little redundant to show them after each post, but it seems more logical to share a post with someone than a thread IMO.

I'm not a big fan of vB's bar at the bottom with the links. If anything, it should be at the top of the page.

I'll give your suggestion a try. Thanks.

You should be able to modify the showthread template find


<if condition="$bookmarksites">
<!-- social bookmarking links -->
<br />
<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" class="tborder" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[bookmarks]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt2" style="padding-top:0px"><div style="clear:both"></div><ul style="list-style-type:none; margin:0px; padding:0px">$bookmarksites</ul><div style="clear:both"></div></td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- / social bookmarking links -->
</if>


Remove that and place after


$poll

This puts the bookmarks at the top of the page for me.

How do you put the social bookmark icons at the bottom of each post? I prefer this too.

Sorry, but I am using the plain old vB 3.8 not the vBseo so I am not sure what you mean. Plus I am a slow learner :)

It's a standard feature with vbSEO ...

I created an ul and put it in the appropriate place in my postbit legacy template. each li was a link to the network I wanted. Links are kinda funny though. Was only able to make delicious populate the title and url. Any help anyone?
