Sweet :) just what i was looking for, thanks for this .... guaranteed that this is installed

[heredia21]

Perfect! Thanks for sharing, works well on mobile devices as well.

[crystalduna]

[bxb]

Works, thanks a bunch! VB5.0.5

[ecihanuysal]

works, thank you so mch

[Macgiber]

thanks

[fionix]

Any udate for the latest version 5.1.1 ? it seems this line we have to find isn't there any longer.

Thanks.

[Daryn]

Tested and works on 5.1.1.

It seems like though it sends the right URL's to Facebook, the title it sends out as a share is pretty generic. Will fiddle some more with that.

[Razgritz]

This work.

[DisasterDotCom]

Works in 5.1.2 (and the line is there). Thanks!

i made a mistake! Maybe i didnt. leaving the bolded did not work for my site(G+). however if i change the bolded to platform.js everything works fine. am not sure which .js google want people to use. in the snippet it was platform.js however in their documentation it is plusone.js.

any way if gplus one does not work for you just substitute the .js and see if it will work.

[Jean Pierre]

It works for 5.1.4 thanks :D

[gfran5]

Works great in 5.1.1 :D

[M@tthew]

Nice little add-on, thanks! Works well with vBulletin 5.1.4.

[gfran5]

Anyone know how to add this to the article (CMS) conversation bar?

[classicrv]

Very nice! Seems to work well on 5.1.4. Thanks!!!

[oxrageous]

Anyone have any idea how to adjust the code so these DO NOT show up on the floating bar?

[fortunately102s]

Great, this is what I was looking for!

[Red_Horse]

Works in 5.1.5
Thanks

[drsmash]

any one have idea about that question , i need this urgently please !

[justunboxing]

You just need to edit the first line. Change this:

<vb:if condition="$page['view'] == 'thread'">

for this:

<vb:if condition="$page['view'] == 'thread' OR $page['view'] == 'stream'">

[ceroalreves]

Tested en VB 5.1.5 it doesn't works u.u

[DesignMVD]

Upgrade vb 5.1.6 please :)

[TwinsForMe]

Can this be restricted to certain forums based on channel permissions? I have some private areas of the board where I wouldn't want this.

[koko10ar]

Work fine in 5.1.6.

Great! :D

[koko10ar]

In spanish forums replace this line:
.share-buttons .facebook { width:135px; }
for this:
.share-buttons .facebook { width:175px; }

because Like = "Me gusta" and Share = "Compartir" and 135 px cut the bottons.

Can you help me adding linkedin button?

Regards!

[vb_nils]

Works well on 5.1.7.

For French, replace
.share-buttons .facebook { width:135px; }
by
.share-buttons .facebook { width:160px; }

[vb_nils]

Hello,

THose buttons are not asynchronous.
Bellow you will found the code for making them asynchronous (note that I didn't include G+ but can be added).

[Haiwan88]

does it work with vb 5.1.9 ?

[shimei]

Some reason, the facebook like and share buttons no longer display on my site. Only the tweet or google + 1 does. Version 5.1.9 ....

To note, it was working fine, did Facebook make a change?

[friendlymela]

Its useful thanks

[DemOnstar]

This one works well on 5.1.9.
I would prefer the little + symbol on the end to give people multiple choice though. It will save room in the toolbar.
I will try that one myself.

Thanks for your effort. . .

[Hectorsky]

works fine , thanks

[jnabird333]

Looks like Google Plus changed their code so that doesn't work. I actually prefer @VB_Nils code but am having trouble getting the facebook buttons in english. v5.1.9

[jnabird333]

Does anyone know how to force or change the image that Facebook grabs on shared threads? This mod works great for me but the Facebook post grabs my logo in the header which isn't a 1:1 ratio so it looks crappy on Facebook.

5.1.10 doesn't work

On vb 5.2 doesn't work

There doesn't work nothing , idk why ,, I will try again, is that works for you?

[DemOnstar]

The reason I ask is because the elements all go into position, so that works.
The Tweet aspect also works.. But Facebook, and Google+ have issues. . .

[DemOnstar]

Go to the style you want to add it to. Open the conversation_toolbar template in that style and delete all code there. Then copy and paste the code in the attachment into the conversation_toolbar and save.
Don't forget to change the site name for your site.

I am not sure yet what the node/xxxx stuff means yet.

What would you say was contained within the attachment here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2563490&postcount=45). . .?

[DemOnstar]

I tried this and a couple of others. I am sure it isn't the mod that is at fault but no images are pulled from the database when a link is posted to any of the sites.

I think this is related:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum/vbulletin-5-connect/vbulletin-5-connect-questions-problems-troubleshooting/vbulletin-5-support-issues-questions/4337767-facebook-image

And this:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=320779

Basically, when an attachment is quoted or when a link is posted, no images are seen.
vB5 issue I am sure. . . Correct me if I am wrong. . .

[bigbear83]

Working fine in 5.2.1

But just a quick question here -- how about if I wanted to have this show up in every post so that one could just use it to tweet a link to each individual post rather than tweet the first post of a thread? I tried tinkering around with this code but failed horribly LOL.

[nakul]

Thank you so much. The website is looks really good with this.

[KimK]

Works good with 5.2.3! I don't suppose anyone knows the code to add Linkedin share? This one I can probably figure out through linkedin but I thought I would ask.

It pulls my logo into the posts, but the logo is too big on facebook and google. Any remedies?

Also, I would love to add this into my articles and blogs as well. Thanks so much, this is great, I needed it.

[KimK]

Nevermind about adding to articles and blogs, @justunboxing posted the code above, and that worked too! Marked as installed.

I found the linkedin code from the developer site, <script src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js" type="text/javascript"> lang: en_US</script>
<script type="IN/Share" data-url="http://www.agentlinkus.com"></script>

[MokeyII]

Where does it pull the image from on a share to facebook? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2016/09/3.png

as you can see it just shows a plain white image. How would I change this?

Your site has to implement Open Graph meta tags in order for social media sites to be able to extract the metadata that includes the image thumbnail to use. I have a mod that does this.

[Ashlar217]

Working just dandy in 5.2.4 along with Glenns Open graph meta tag mod. Highly recommend that to anyone sharing content across social media platforms.

[noypiscripter]

Glad my mod works for your site. :)
