Hi,

I just spent the last few hours browsing the 3.8 Mod section, and I couldn't find an application that would allow me to have social bookmarking links like Digg, Facebook Like, Twitter, StumbleUpon, and maybe others like Google and Yahoo submission. I want to integrate it on each topic that is posted on my forum in a manner where it won't be too intruding with the current format. www.NJStangers.org

If there currently is one or more good ones that I missed, can someone link me to it?

Thanks,

- Jonathan

You can get code from www.addthis.com and add it to your showthread template- it's a good/quick way to allow your users to share topics.

Oh wow perfect thank you. Do you have any recommendations as to where exactly in my coding I should put it based on my forum design?

It's really up to you, sometimes I used to look for the $pagenav variable in showthread template and put it under that... just play with it a little and find a location that works for you... if you know some basic HTML that will make life easier.

You should be editing your SHOWTHREAD template via the Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager.

There is no php code involved.

Look at my Tweet Button mod:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=248568

But replace this line:
<a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal" data-via="YOUR_TWITTER_USERNAME">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>

With the code addthis gave you.
