- - Show Thread Enhancements - Twitter - Tweet Button in SHOWTHREAD (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=248568)

I recommend using this line for the Twitter code, you'll note it has the data-url attribute the original code does not. This will force Twitter to count and link to the page via a single URL- it will not vary based on how the user is browsing the page...

Code:

<a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal" data-via="YOUR_TWITTER_USERNAME" data-url="$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>

Thanks for posting this! Took me awhile to get it where I wanted it (put it in my postbit legacy) and getting it lined up.

How do you install this next to Thread Tools like the Demo Site?

To do it next to thread tools like currently in the demo (March 2011):

Edit SHOWTHREAD template...

FIND the code below and ADD the code in RED

Code:

        <td class="tcat" width="100%">

                <div class="smallfont">

                <if condition="$show['firstunreadlink']">

                        <a href="$firstunread"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/firstnew.gif" alt="$vbphrase[view_first_unread]" border="0" /></a>

                        <a href="$firstunread"><strong>$vbphrase[view_first_unread]</strong></a>

                </if>

                &nbsp;

                </div>

        </td>

       

   <td class="vbmenu_control" id="threadshare" nowrap="nowrap">

------TWITTER CODE HERE-----

       </td>



        <td class="vbmenu_control" id="threadtools" nowrap="nowrap">

                <a href="$show[nojs_link]#goto_threadtools"<if condition="is_browser('ie')"> accesskey="3"</if>>$vbphrase[thread_tools]</a>

                <if condition="$show['popups']"><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("threadtools"); </script></if>

        </td>

Thank you, got it working.

The only thing to try is to add the data-url line to the code, for example:

Code:

<a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal" data-via="YOUR_TWITTER_USERNAME" data-url="$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>

That helps for some people. Facebook has a similar option I know too, to manually specify the URL to be counted.

still count is same 0.. i have vbseo is that coz this workaround not doing anything???

I don't have access to VBSEO sorry. You can disable the count from showing by changing data-count="horizontal" to data-count="none" in the code. Another option would be to ask in the VBSEO forum if anyone has the tweet button working. This is just the standard install instructions from Twitter, there's not much I can do about it.

In Postbit Legacy Find:

Code:

And directly below it add:

Code:

<a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal" data-url="http://www.juot.net/forums/showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]&amp;postcount=$post[postcount]" data-via="YOUR_TWITTER_USERNAME">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>

Change http://www.juot.net/forums/ to your forum's URL, whatever would come before showpost.php... and change YOUR_TWITTER_USERNAME to your twitter username... this will put the tweet button right next to the Quote button and it lines up well, I tested it. It also sends the right URL to twitter.

Doing this is going to post the link for viewing a single post correct?

If yes, is there a way to do this so that you can tweet the single post but instead of the link taking you to the view single post it takes you to the section of the thread that has that post?

Hope that makes sense..

EDIT:

Never mind figured it out on my own..
