Well there is a "fix" in post # 143 that will let you use this mod- it just takes a little extra code. So I can understand why it's not major... Major is: Oh crap, the new editor doesn't work on iPhones and iPads. That's major.

I've followed your instructions and I am getting a few errors. For some reason "[/CODE] " Shows up next to my facebook like button now. Anyway to get rid of this?
Is there anyway to make it so that the twitter link is shortened or truncated automatically? Right now its a long and nasty URL.

Unfortunately the twitter count fix in post #147 did not work for me :(

Hello
I have 2 issues with this code, one it's not showing all the past "tweets" our home page has over 100..

Also the link didn't include the thread ID eg..

general-forums.com/showthread.php?t=

Thanks for the code

If [/code] is showing up next to your facebook button you must have accidentally copied "[/code]" from somewhere. Search your template for [/code] and simply delete it.

The twitter link should automatically be shortened using a built in URL shortener. Can I get a link to a page with this problem?

This mod doesn't show tweets anywhere so I don't understand how that could be a problem. It only allows people to send tweets. And they aren't tweeting AS you, they tweet as themselves, but with a link to your forum page.

As for the no threadid is your button in the SHOWTHREAD template? The code I give ONLY works in the SHOWTHREAD template.

If it is in SHOWTHREAD what version of vBulletin are you using?

I see you switched to Add This as a solution. I compared that to Share This and went with them instead. Six to one half dozen of the other I suppose, but Share This just felt better, for me.

I considered adding it to the bottom of the navbar so it would be on every page, but then decided to add it to only a few templates, since there was no reason to 'share' every page.

I checked out Share This- it looked good initially but what I don't like about it is that you need to give permission for Share This to interface it's own app with Facebook and Twitter whereas AddThis works directly with their API's and no special permission is needed. I for one basically never give 3rd party apps permission to work with my facebook or twitter accounts and I know that would stop a lot of people from sharing content on my site if they had to.

Sir, I've been searching this for a while now, but I'm running 4.1.3

Do you plan on updating soon?

Yeah, I understand what you mean. So I've placed both of them for now, using the text versions so maybe it won't confuse people too much.

What I don't like about AddThis is that is doesn't show you the actual URL that it is sharing in the interface window for Facebook or Twitter (maybe others), just the shortened version. So you have make the link then click on it in your FB/Twitter page to test it. ShareThis shows both the actual URL and the shortened one in the interface window.

I'm glad you brought this up.

Today I released this mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=266159

Adds the Twiitter, Google, Digg, and more share buttons to vBulletin and is compatible with all 4.0.x and 4.1.x versions.

I will be ending support for this mod as it is now out-dated.
