[Mod-Mall] Tynt - Add link to copy/pasted content (for SEO)

[nitra1000]

What Tynt Does
In short Tynt adds a link to content copy and pasted from your site, this obviously helps your SEO and also provides a decent link for more visitors.

You can find loads of information at http://www.tynt.com/publisher-tools

Example... Try to copy something from this page (http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/gags_at_fete_5OIwETToYQSpJhP13jvJ3I) (selected at random)....

What This Mod Does
This mod inserts the javascript in your header template, saving you from having to edit or revert your templates every upgrade.

It also has built in conditionals to allow you to configure who the script is active for

Currently supports

Exclude Users with Post Counts above X
Exclude Usergroups (for example if they have donated)
Exclude Guests
More coming soon


How to install

Import the xml
Register at tynt.com, and configure your website
It should give you some code that looks like the below to insert into your header
<script type="text/javascript">
if(document.location.protocol=='http:'){
var Tynt=Tynt||[];Tynt.push('');Tynt.i={"ap":""};
(function(){var s=document.createElement('script');s.async="async";s.type="text/javascript";s.src='http://tcr.tynt.com/ti.js';var h=document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];h.parentNode.insertBefore(s,h);})();
}
</script>
copy and paste this into the script box found in your admincp under Settings>Options>Add Tynt Script
Activate and configure the add on in the same screen



How to Upgrade

Import the xml, rember to check yes for "Allow Overwrite"
Check your configuration on Settings>Options>Add Tynt Script

V1.0 - Initial Release
V1.1 - Proof of concept for checking user information
V1.2 - Added additional user checks

To Do List

Additional user checks (User ID, Usergroup) - V1.2

Please note I have nothing to do with Tynt, I just saw the script and thought it would be a good thing to try for my first modification on vBulletin.

1. Can You make this mod without Tynt or other external website?

2. Can You make that links will be redirect to copied post?
Ex:
Now its looking: http://www.forum.alfaholicy.org/sprawy_organizacyjne/19274-tu_zglaszamy_bledy_na_forum-35.html#ixzz1L7DS1Anw

Should be: http://www.forum.alfaholicy.org/sprawy_organizacyjne/19274-tu_zglaszamy_bledy_na_forum-35.html#post565186#ixzz1L7DS1Anw

Marked as installed. Great mod! :)

Currently it only supports postcounts, but in the coming days you will be able to include/exclude users, usergroups, forums as well.

[directmars]

Uninstalled. Appreciate your effort but if every mod came with a footer link I'd have umpteen links.

At least your honest enough to uninstall it o/

There is a donation option of $10 for xml without the link

[daveaite]

Users can add their tynt to their headerinclude template, or footer template. If you want conditionals, apply Tynt script into an advertisement location and apply conditionals.

They can indeed but then it's not in the optimium position and slows page load, if they edit there templates manually then they have to rejig the templates on upgrade.

[8thos]

Tynt doesn't work for me with or without this modification. It adds a # sign and alphanumeric characters at the end of URLS.

[nitra1000]

That's a setting in tynt for tracking, turn it off then recopy the code

[prandah]

but it's shown prefiks :D #axzz1T3YYslxS
how to disable it ?

You can't.

[nitra1000]

Ask Tynt, I can't tell you the in's and out's of their script.

[nitra1000]

Updated got rid of a unused if statement (nit picking)

[dang3rzon3]

installed :)

[FReeSTER]

great thanks for the update

[chrisngrod]

BRILLIANT! I've installed this and your Woopra product.

Absolutely wonderful. I'm glad I monitor this site a lot or I'd be missing out big time.

[thecore762]

As always, great mod!

<i>adds a link to content copy and pasted from your site</i>

Off site = good

Found the problem, it's VBSEO.

thanks any way.

Does anyone know how to get around this? modify tynt code perhaps?

For an example, if i paste this Read more: http://www.mysite.com/showthread.php...#ixzz1e0sDablX it wont work, if i remove then#ixzz1e0sDablX the link works and is valid. Is there a way to have this modified out of the tynt code? Or can the xml be modified?

[tommydamic68]

To those who do not care about the tracking aspect and tynt, here is the same thing and works with vbseo.

[cagbaazee]

Thanks it is gret mod.

[tommydamic68]

Does anyone know what template i could add this code to besides header, i don't want it to copy the main forum page just posts and threads.

Thanks in advance.

[OldSchoolDSL]

I find that if you just add the code manually into your header without using this modification.... vBSEO has no issue.

See for yourself....

For a better load and more accurate reporting, it's even better to add to your footer

Maybe President Obama should deliver next year’s State of the Union at the Friars Club.

Last night, the commander in chief unfurled a string of sharp-as-a-tack one-liners at the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner — many of which slammed square into his potential Republican foe Donald Trump, who was sitting in the audience at the gala.

As a stern-faced Trump looked on, Obama spent a good portion of his monologue mocking his putative run for the White House and the New York real-estate mogul’s “birther” stance.

Maybe I've missed something but in every trial I've done the link, back to original site, can be edited out by the poster when pasted into a post email blog, etc. can also be deleted by moderators and administrators.

At first glance it appears to be a really good thing but.... if this can be done, other than the exclusions, just what is the benefit for major forums that are being constantly skimmed.

Cheers - Neil

PS I was just able to delete half of the SkinLinks link in the post above

[nitra1000]

Hi ,of course someone can always remove the link... but it puts it there in the first place.

[nitra1000]

Does anyone know how to get around this? modify tynt code perhaps?

For an example, if i paste this Read more: http://www.mysite.com/showthread.php...#ixzz1e0sDablX it wont work, if i remove then#ixzz1e0sDablX the link works and is valid. Is there a way to have this modified out of the tynt code? Or can the xml be modified?

I beleive there is a setting on tynt's website

[tommydamic68]

the settings for exclusion do not work on my forum. Anyone else had this issue with excluding usergroups? also tried post count as well. Still does not work.

[tommydamic68]

anyone?

[datoneer]

Do you know how to remove it? please so me thanks:up:

In your tynt account go to customize address bar tracking. Then uncheck the address bar tracking enabled.

Click Save

Copy/paste code again to your vb settings and that's it

[bloomz]

Will this script work on Vbulletin 3.8.6?

[yamahapaul]

Will this script work on Vbulletin 3.8.6?

Just copy the code given to you by tynt and paste at the top of your header template :up:

[Naijasite]

It's workes perfectly well for 4.2.0 see the demo on www.naijafinder.com just copy any post and past it.

[Naijasite]

Please how do i remove this #axzz21lYkwUpd code from the url www.naijafinder.com/web-design-development/#axzz21lYkwUpd

I think't is gonna affect SEO. Please what it's your view?

[Chadi]

Not sure why, but this stopped working for me all of a sudden? Its activated, code inserted.

<!-- BEGIN Tynt Script -->
<script type="text/javascript">
if(document.location.protocol=='http:'){
var Tynt=Tynt||[];Tynt.push('bhTszC12yr4yKFacwqm_6l');Tynt.i={"ap":"Read More:","st":true,"su":false,"w":"talkjesus","f":"talkjesus"};
(function(){var s=document.createElement('script');s.async="async";s.type="text/javascript";s.src='http://tcr.tynt.com/ti.js';var h=document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];h.parentNode.insertBefore(s,h);})();
}
</script>
<!-- END Tynt Script -->


What could it be? Tested in Firefox and IE.

[kartheekb]

can u make this for 4.2?

[tpearl5]

Coder should note that this adds a link to their site in the footer of every page...

FYI, It's just as easy to do this youself by adding the tynt code to the header around some conditionals for usergroups and post count. Or even easier, put the code in as 'advertising' in a header position and use the conditionals there.

[autoescala]

I have problems with the code, it works fine but since 2 or 3 weeks produce errors in quick reply (white colour text) and produces messages preventing exit or close the page from the navigator (chrome or firefox)

I disable this product, i have 4.2.0 version

[Naijasite]

I also had similer problem. When you try to reply or post new thread you can't type on the message space. I have to disable the product and it's start working. Am using a diffrent read more mode which does same thing like Tynt.

Ithe error is from tynt and not the mod.

Thanks Naijafinder, I hope tynt solve this in a future :)

[Nirjonadda]

Please update for work on 4.2 and Add option Additional forum checks (Forum ID).

[autoescala]

Will be great if this mod is updated to 4.2.1

[Naijasite]

tynt script is conflicting with a mod on my forum. when you click on new post or reply, it shows the reply or new thread box but you can't actually post.

What mod could it be conflicting with?

[Naijasite]

please how do i make it to show to guest only? or exclude it from postbit_legacy?

[datoneer]

My forum is on 4.2.1 version now and it works

[Morrus]

It's a good idea, and it works - but it has a flaw. It very much annoys users who use copy/paste to quote parts of posts they're replying to. They're constantly having to delete the Read More link from their posts.

[datoneer]

Morrus, that is not true. read more will be added only when you copy post/thread to another site. it will not work on the same website, in quote or replies.

[Morrus]

Morrus, that is not true. read more will be added only when you copy post/thread to another site. it will not work on the same website, in quote or replies.

Yes it does. Either that, or my members and I are suffering some kind of mass hallucination! Which is possible, I suppose, but somewhat unlikely! :)

[datoneer]

When i click copy on my content and then paste on the same site read more is not there, but when i paste the same content to another site then read more is there. That is actually the point of this mod

[datoneer]

I apologize Morrus, yea just noticed the same thing on my forum. Few days ago it wasn't worked like that. Anyway i hope that this will not irritate my members

[muimui]

[dougdirac]

It's a good idea, and it works - but it has a flaw. It very much annoys users who use copy/paste to quote parts of posts they're replying to. They're constantly having to delete the Read More link from their posts.

Ugg.. that makes it more trouble that it's worth. We have a problem with people just lifting stuff from our site. So a mod like this would at least remind those folks to credit where they got it. But if it adds that within our own site, then it's too much trouble.

Also, I wonder how much it helps SEO. The links it provides seem to be routed through tynt instead of directly to your site.

[Thangvip9x]

In your tynt account go to customize address bar tracking. Then uncheck the address bar tracking enabled.

I think you should fix from your javascript

[RichieBoy67]

is it working still ? configured it but not working

I would not use this mod if I was you. I would not use any of these mods actually because it is not good these days to just have your link plastered every where. If you are going to use a mod though I would recommend this one over Tynt:
