http://www.baghdad4ever.net/vb/showthread.php/299978

how to fix that?

I'm having the same problem as this, I've checked the contact details in the options and everything is as it should be, any ideas?

That's weird but this should fix it...

Edit your headinclude template:

Find:

Code:

                <meta name="description" content="{vb:raw vboptions.description}" />

</vb:if>

Below it Add:

Code:

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'">

<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/forum/{vb:link thread, {vb:raw thread}, {vb:raw pageinfo_post}}" />

</vb:if>

Make sure you change http://www.example.com/forum/ to the URL to your own forums, whatever is before "showthread.php..." when you are viewing a thread. (In the example given it would be: http://www.baghdad4ever.net/vb/)

This will include a canonical link on your threads (and only threads) which over-rides the URL passed to Twitter, with hopefully, the right one now...

If this doesn't work please give me a link to your forums so I can see what is up...

That worked, cheers for that - much appreciated :)

Hi man, nice hack!

I have some little problems... see the image:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/08/22.png

I am using this code:

PHP Code:


		
			
<vb:if condition="!in_array($GLOBALS[forumid], array(191, 192, 217, 114, 216))">
<div align="right" style="height:27px;">
<a name="fb_share" type="button_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Compartir</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal" data-via="nvnetgroup">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
</div>
</vb:if>

What is wrong?

Thanks.

Look at post one and use the code near the bottom and it might work.

Looks like you used the first code labeled for people who DO NOT use Facebook Like... you seem to use Facebook Like so use the alternate instructions I provided in the top post...
(Copied below for easy reference)

If you DO USE the built-in Facebook Like button do the following:

Find:

Code:

{vb:raw fblikebutton}

Replace it with:

Code:

<div id="fb_likeframe" style="border: none; overflow: hidden; height: 27px; width: 95px; vertical-align: text-bottom; padding-top:1px;"><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></div>{vb:raw fblikebutton}

Replace "YOUR_TWITTER_USERNAME" with your twitter username, it will be referenced in the tweet- but the tweet will not be from YOU, it will be from whoever hits the tweet button.

The Tweet button will now show up next to the Facebook Like button in anytime the Facebook Like button is displayed in a thread.

Yes but like you can see... i am not using the like button... i am using another button, share button (i am using this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=234548 but i want to use both in the same location).

I tried with:

PHP Code:


		
			
<vb:if condition="!in_array($GLOBALS[forumid], array(191, 192, 217, 114, 216))">

<div style="border: none; overflow: hidden; height: 27px; width: 95px; vertical-align: text-bottom; padding-top:1px;">

<a name="fb_share" type="button_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Compartir</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript">

</script>

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

</div>

</vb:if>

But this happen (see the attached image)

If you're using another mod I can't tell you where to put it- but if you can post your say the top third of your showthread template can look at it and try to give you an idea on where to put it and how to customize the code a little.

If you post it, post it without the tweet code at all- whatever you have that works for you now.

I added it to the start of the breadcrumb div and wrapped it in my own custom div to style it a little better... because the facebook like text color can not be changed it's kinda hard to see i will keep playing around with it.

Thanks for this, just hope people still click these buttons, now that every site seems to have them numbers have dropped alot, hopefully the tweet button gets people clicking it.

Cheers again for posting this

WOW man, very nice template. How do you make the spaces between the widgets on the CMS

Thanks man.

Really sry for my english but i didn't understand at all this... what do you mean with "top third of your showthread template"?

The problem is that the facebook share button appear some pixels lower than the tweet button.

Thanks

If you go to your template editor and edit your showthread template...

Then copy and paste the "top" part of the file here I can look through it and suggest a location you could put the code.

If you could copy and paste everything in showthread above:

Code:

<li><a href="poll.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newpoll&amp;t={vb:raw threadid}">{vb:rawphrase add_a_poll_to_this_thread}&hellip;</a></li>

                                        </vb:if>

                                </ul>

                        </li>

If i am not wrong this is the code that you want:

PHP Code:

I would have preferred the code before you inserted the Twitter code but let's try this:

Find:

Code:

<vb:if condition="!in_array($GLOBALS[forumid], array(191, 192, 217, 114, 216))">

<div align="right" style="height:27px;">

<a name="fb_share" type="button_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Compartir</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript">

</script>

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

</div>

</vb:if>

and change it to:

Code:

<vb:if condition="!in_array($GLOBALS[forumid], array(191, 192, 217, 114, 216))">

<div align="right" style="height:27px;">

<a name="fb_share" type="button_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Compartir</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript">

</script></div>

<div align="right">

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

</div>

</vb:if>

See what that does...

Well... i solved the problem with this: http://sharethis.com/publishers/get-button-code?style=6

Using this code:

PHP Code:


		
			
<vb:if condition="!in_array($GLOBALS[forumid], array(191, 192, 217, 114, 216))">
<div style="text-align: right; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span class="st_twitter_hcount" displayText="Tweet"></span><span class="st_facebook_hcount" displayText="Share"></span>
</div>
</vb:if>

And this on the headinclude:

PHP Code:


		
			
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js"></script><script type="text/javascript">stLight.options({publisher:'dfba2cb0-5585-44ea-9c02-ab4120cee202'});</script>

And work perfect, but now i have another strange problem... see this:

http://www.webpagescreenshot.info/im...01053134am.png

When i add that code of the headinclude (the scripts) appear something at the right of thanks button.

You know how to solve?

Thanks and sry for posting here but is something "related" and maybe you know what is the problem.

Sorry, I have no clue about that. :(

Installed.

Code:

http://www.forum.com/threads/90953

I tried it by clicking on tweet and it is missing a SLASH in thread url.

Any help?

See post #42 for a solution to that issue. :up:

Well I thought I had it working but the counter seems to mess up?!

When I tweet something the counter will say "1" hit refresh and it will go back to "0" and each and every time after still "0" Any ideas?

I'd imagine the issue is because before your URL is submitted Twitter 'thinks' you're on the wrong page (without the slash) so when it checks its records it sees no one has 'tweeted' that URL so the count is Zero... When you hit Tweet you actually send a link to a different (albeit correct) URL so it doesn't get counted to the right page.

Understand?

I will keep trying to figure out why you're having the initial issue since that would solve everything, but in the mean time you can display the Tweet button without the counter so it doesn't throw people off... in your code replace:

data-count="horizontal" with data-count="none"

That's my guess as well but I don't have vbseo... I'm trying to see if I can replicate it with what I have.

That's good it does, probably because of that link you added.

Heard back from the vbseo guys and they said it is nothing to do with vbseo!

Where is the headerinclude template, can't find it in my ftp client to make the change?

Edit your headerinclude template:

Find:

Code:

                <meta name="description" content="{vb:raw vboptions.description}" />

</vb:if>

Below it Add:

Code:

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'">

<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/forum/{vb:link thread, {vb:raw thread}, {vb:raw pageinfo_post}}" />

</vb:if>

Oh I found it! It's not headerinclude, it's headinclude

Whoops... my bad... will fix the instructions- thanks.

I dont see the code ... {vb:raw fblikebutton}

in SHOWTHREAD ... did this change in 4.0.6 ?

No, I use 4.0.6 so it's definitely there... It may only be there if you have Facebook Integration turned on- not sure... if you don't use the facebook like button there are alternate instructions listed...

Also make sure there's no spaces before or after "{vb:raw fblikebutton}" in your search... Look for this code before it:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['fb_likebutton']">

If I go back to the thread the next day the indicator is correct (it also counts retweets which is nice)

Now the only issue is which i'm sure can't be worked around is that if the thread is multipaged the indicator only shows on one of the pages.

Each page has it's own URL so if someone tweets page 2 people will be linked directly to the second page... the page # can be removed from the canonical link expression so it's always the first page that gets tweeted, but that could hurt the SEO of your forums because you giving the link to a different page then the actual content it on...If someone tweets page 2 instead of page 1 maybe the 'good' post is on the 2nd page anyway.

If it's 'fixing itself' it sounds like a Twitter server issue not keeping up with the counts... this is still new to them so maybe they will figure it out.

Anyone know how I can add this to my article pages?

I don't have the full suite so I don't know what the article template looks like- but if you use facebook like button I'd imagine it's a very similar edit, if not the exact same code.

I have installed it in Navbar templete -

There is problem - till individual thread its good but on a thread.

It tweet this url

I don't have vbSEO and am having the same issue. However I think it takes a few minutes for the count to be accurate ...

works but in the tweet i see this:

why?

The last part of the instructions is:

Quote:

Replace "YOUR_TWITTER_USERNAME" with your twitter username, it will be referenced in the tweet- but the tweet will not be from YOU, it will be from whoever hits the tweet button.

In the code you entered into the template you need to replace "YOUR_TWITTER_USERNAME" with your actual twitter username...:up:

I have test coment #42 and not work.
