Submit to Twitter and Facebook

[ericgtr]

This is an update to vB4.0 Beta 3 of my Submit to Twitter and FB mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=217117

See screenshot for example of where it goes and how it looks. Keeping up with the latest in social networking keeps traffic flowing to your site.

This can all be added at once or you may add only the one's you want. Additionally, this will probably work in any version of vB. At the moment it cannot be turned off for specific forums, I still have to work out the conditional changes for vb4 so it will appear in all forums for now.

In the SHOWTHREAD template find:
<li class="popupmenu nohovermenu" id="threadtools">

Add this ABOVE:

<!-- Begin Share FB -->
<li class="popupmenu nohovermenu" id="sharefb">
<h6><a class="popupctrl" href="javascript://">Share</a></h6>
<ul class="popupbody popuphover">
<!-- Facebook Share -->

<a name="fb_share" type="icon_link" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Facebook</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script>
</li>
<!-- / Facebook Share -->
<li>
<!-- Twitter Share -->
<script type="text/javascript">

twtTitle = twtTitle.substr(0, (maxLength - 3))+'...';
}
var twtLink = 'http://twitter.com/home?status='+encodeURIComponent(twtTitle + ' ' + twtUrl);
document.write('<a href="'+twtLink+'" target="_blank"'+'>Tweet This!<'+'/a>');

Sure, first find an image that you would like to use, here some suggestions http://images.google.com/images?as_q=twitter+icon&hl=en&um=1&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&imgtype=&imgsz=i&imgw=&imgh=&imgar=&as_filetype=&imgc=&as_sitesearch=&as_rights=&safe=off&as_st=y then change the code to what I have below, notice where I have highlighted the image and path in red, change those accordingly.

Thank you. Tagging for gold release as there is a lot of bugs still in the beta.

[Brandon Sheley]

nice mod, thanks for updating it :)

ps.. does the facebook share button show the # of "shares"? it would be neat of it would show # of tweets as well, like the tweetme button

thanks again

Sure, all you have to do is change the code (all of it) to this:


<!-- Begin Share FB -->
<li class="popupmenu nohovermenu" id="sharefb">
<h6><a class="popupctrl" href="javascript://">Share</a></h6>
<ul class="popupbody popuphover">
<!-- Facebook Share -->
<li>
<a name="fb_share" type="button_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Share</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script>
</li>
<!-- / Facebook Share -->
<li>
<!-- Twitter Share -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var twtTitle = document.title;
var twtUrl = location.href;
var maxLength = 140 - (twtUrl.length + 1);
if (twtTitle.length > maxLength) {
twtTitle = twtTitle.substr(0, (maxLength - 3))+'...';
}
var twtLink = 'http://twitter.com/home?status='+encodeURIComponent(twtTitle + ' ' + twtUrl);
document.write('<a href="'+twtLink+'" target="_blank"'+'><img src="images/tweet.png" border="0" alt="Tweet This!" /'+'><'+'/a>');
</script>
<!-- / Twitter Share -->
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<!-- End Share FB -->


Additionally, you can go here to see where I grabbed that part of the code it gives you a few options http://www.facebook.com/facebook-widgets/share.php

Is it possible to implement this as two separate buttons in the lower postbit? Perhaps beside the "Promote To Article" & "Blog This Post" buttons?

Hi, I have a brand new install of the latest release. Only found one instance " <li class="popupmenu nohovermenu" id="threadtools"> " of in the vbulletin-style.xml file. Is this where the mod should be inserted?

It should only be installed in the SHOWTHREAD template after you install vb (or any new style).

[Delilahs]

It works with no problems on RC2

The code can be used anywhere in the thread I would guess and still work okay, for what you are talking about you would want to edit the postbit (or postbit_legacy) and place the code near those buttons.

Here is the core code you would want to use:


<!-- Begin Facebook Share -->
<a name="fb_share" type="icon_link" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Facebook</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script>
<!-- End Facebook Share -->

<!-- Begin Twitter Share -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var twtTitle = document.title;
var twtUrl = location.href;
var maxLength = 140 - (twtUrl.length + 1);
if (twtTitle.length > maxLength) {
twtTitle = twtTitle.substr(0, (maxLength - 3))+'...';
}
var twtLink = 'http://twitter.com/home?status='+encodeURIComponent(twtTitle + ' ' + twtUrl);
document.write('<a href="'+twtLink+'" target="_blank"'+'><img src="images/tweet.png" border="0" alt="Tweet This!" /'+'>Tweet This!<'+'/a>');
</script>
<!-- End Twitter Share -->

I hate to seem dumb but what exactly does this mod do? If someone clicks on the facebook link are you telling me it creates a link to that specific thread on their facbook wall?

It is designed to work like all of the other dropdown items in the menu but you can play with the layout if you like.

Exactly, it will create a new facebook or Twitter entry containing the contents of the post.

Great MOD - 1 question though. After I did a test and shared on FB it showed the number 1 on the thread near the FB icon but later when I went back to the thread it did not show any number at all but instead it re-appeared when i clicked on the FB Link

Interesting, did it still submit normally? I'm not sure why it would do that but as long as it submits I think it will be okay.

[captainron19]

Yes it did submit just fine

[joseduddy]

Nope
Not working for VB 4.0 Gold.

By default it automatically shortens them on twitter.

Doesn't work for me. It shows only the large and complete urls. :confused:

[dannefaerd]

Loving it.

Is there an option/chance to have something like this for Articles in CMS?

[vivamexico55]

Is this still supported on 4.01?

I'd like to try it but I'm afraid it will break with one of the frequent vb4 patches...

[ericgtr]

Yes, it still works just fine. It's simply a template addition and hasn't broken anything that I am aware of yet.

[3DUInc]

Thank you very much! Works perfectly! :D

Do you have a link to your forum?

[ericgtr]

Thanks for PMing me a link... I tested it out on your site and was able to both Twitter and Facebook one of your posts. Make sure your users are logged into those sites as well, this is functioning as it should on your board though.

[dangerin]

if they do not log in it do not go?
my users difficult like to register and to log in..
Thank to you to have seen site and tested your mod ( i've translated share with social networks .. is possible ? )

[dangerin]

Excuse me..
an other question : This mod can be used also in cms or in blog? i do not need for blog but cms really a lot because all mi site work around the cms and for forum the user do not post and i'm trying to connect with more people .
Thanks newly

[CFodder]

Mod appeared to work okay, but when trying to submit to facebook all it ever puts is our little blurb about our site, please see image attached. For Twitter it just gives the thread title then a link to the thread, is it supposed to do this or have text in the thread there as well?

Have tried submitting various threads and have re-edited showthread to no avail. Using VB 4.01.

[S.McAvoy]

Works like a charm! Thank you

[vivamexico55]

I installed it on 4.01 and it works =)

Buuuut... Right now I think it only shares the first post in the thread?

How can I make it so I can share individual posts out of a thread?

Unfortunately it's designed to pull the title and URL from the thread itself so I don't think there's any way to get the code to pull individual posts out of it.

[cloferba]

and what about the url for each post...for example

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1972215&postcount=60

[ericgtr]

and what about the url for each post...for example

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1972215&postcount=60
Actually that could probably work, all you would really need to do is add the code to your showpost template. I'm just thinking out loud but I don't see why not.

This looks interesting, I am new to all this so excuse me for being a bit think, but can you confirm a couple of things:

1 - I am assuming this doesn't auto-tweet/facebook new threads, is that correct?

2 - Assuming someone has to click on it to share with twitter/FB, is it:

(a) Just the thread starter that can manually share the new thread with their twitter/FB account?

(b) Or can any registered users use it to share it with their twitter/FB account?

(c) Or is it just the thread starter and/or mods that can?

(d) Or some other combination that I haven't thought of?

Thanks in advance for any help. :)

Right, one must click on the modification in order to submit to either FB or Twitter, anyone who can view the thread can submit it to their respective account.

Yes it's working fine :)

And how about the image of Twitter?

Also I have seen one forum, who has Digg link button also.

Do you have the code for this to work in the cms/blog system?

[edie]

Does this apply to adding a Twitter button to blog and article posts (like Facebook currently)
Is this for the latest VBulletin 4?

Thank you.

Great mod, but mine is doing the same thing. The URL on the Chrome browser has the info, but it is not going into the "What's Happening?" box. We are using vB 4.1.3.

I have 4.1.12 Patch Level 1 and I can't find this code "<div id="pagination_top" class="pagination_top"> " anywhere in SHOWTHREAD

Try searching for this instead in 4.1.12

<li class="popupmenu" id="threadtools"> and then post the code above as instructed..

Will this add-on automatically post threads from a specific forum, to our Facebook page, like an RSS feed?

Thank you.
