Digg Display & Digg Count

Get your users to Digg more threads with this simple modification. It's more visible and will promote more Diggs.

What this does differently from the stock Bookmarks is put the Digg button on top of the post in a nice little box and displays how many diggs the post has gotten. This uses javascript provided by Digg. The background color can also be defined.

Update: Fixed the javascript so it will now show the thread title if it has special characters in it.

In SHOWTHREAD find:

Code:

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

Add this just above: (be sure to add your forum URL so it Digg can grab the title, you may optionally remove that line if you have an SEO mod installed but the title will have to be submitted manually)

Code:

<!-- Digg -->

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

<script type="text/javascript">

digg_url = 'SITE URL/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]';

digg_title = "$threadinfo[title]";

digg_skin = 'compact';

digg_window = 'new';

</script>

<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

</td>

<!-- / Digg -->

Please click install if you use this.

Indeed. :up:

Thanks for catching that, it's been changed. I've also added the URL so it will display the digg count on every page of a thread and automatically add the title.

good one, but is it possible to change white background?

ericgtr

01-03-2008 04:05 PM

Yes, change it to this, you may define any background color you like

Code:

<!-- Digg -->

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

<script type="text/javascript">

digg_url = 'SITE URL/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]';

digg_title = "$threadinfo[title]";

digg_bgcolor = '#ffffff';

digg_skin = 'compact';

digg_window = 'new';

</script>

<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

</td>

<!-- / Digg -->

Please click install if you use it.

This integration has boosted the traffic on my site in a huge way both in guests and new members. Digg is an extremely popular site and when people see the actual diggs in their posts it boosts it that much more.

is there anyway to make the background transparent or use a gradient as the bar where my digg button is has a gradient image in the background

Unfortunately not, that's one of the disadvantages and I have also not been able to find a way to change the text color.

Greetings..

Was wondering 2 things.. First.. is this possible.. and second.. can someone help me with the variables..

I have installed a snippet of code on my vbseo 1.0 template for vb 3.7beta3

The code is the following..

Code:

<!-- Digg -->

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

<script type="text/javascript">

digg_url = 'http://forums.prisonofficer.org/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]';

digg_title = "$threadinfo[title]";

digg_bgcolor = '#ffffff';

digg_skin = 'compact';

digg_window = 'new';

</script>

<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

</td>

<!-- / Digg -->

In the digg_url code.. it works be uses the old VB urls and not the seo-friendly vbSEO urls.. I was wondering if there was variables for vbSEO to have the same effect but with the correct SEO rewrote URLs.

The button works to digg the post (which is already a function in vbSEO) however I would like it to show the digg count which will not work since the URLs get rewritten.

Does that make sense or am I babbling?

Example URLs Below

vbSEO url = http://forums.prisonofficer.org/offi...ed-escape.html

VB Normal URL = http://forums.prisonofficer.org/showthread.php?t=543

Thanks in advance.

Cory

I have tried to find an answer to this but cannot and have ended up disabling Zoints SEO on my site because of it, which has really hurt my search engine results. For each SEO system the have a replacement variable, it's a matter of locating it.

What version of vB are you using? Either way just looking for
id="threadtools"
should work.

CoryHawk

Here is a document on vBSEO's variables... could anyone with knowledge of this help me out?

I have no idea what needs to be replaced in the code.

Code:

$thread[threadid]



and 



$threadinfo[title]

Maybe they can give these to you over there.

CoryHawk, I have figured out how to get this to work with vBseo as I have it installed now. Here is the code

Code:

<!-- Digg -->

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

<script type="text/javascript">

digg_url = 'http://www.yoursite.com$_SERVER[VBSEO_URI]';

digg_title = "$threadinfo[title]";

digg_skin = 'compact';

digg_window = 'new';

</script>

<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

</td>

<!-- / Digg -->

CoryHawk

01-22-2008 03:33 AM

Thanks Eric!

Should that be _SERVER[VBSEO_URL] or VBSEO_URI ?

A great idea. I wish this was available for stumbleupon as well. Digg is great, but stumbleopun has sent many more people to my site.

I have 3.7.2 installed but when i put the code in, its missing from the location at the top of the thread. i.e i cant see it.

Any idea how to make this compatible with 3.7.1 and 3.7.2. A few people before me have asked this too. Thanks.

07-21-2008 05:59 AM

works fine for me on a 3.7.2 installation; trying to work on the background color thing; shame that it can't match the skins better.

When an article is dugg, the link to the diggs is dark blue on my dark red color (#990000)

Is there anyway to fix this? Thanks.

is there any way to improve this?

Is this mod supported at all now as I was hoping I would receive a reply regarding if its possibly to speed up the thread appearing,.

cynthetiq

07-31-2008 04:56 PM

I'm not sure how someone would support this as looking at the code it is no different than the widget you can put in your blog/myspace/facebook. In other words, I think that it is a process of how the digg code works and not how the mod works.

I settled my needs by creating a digg bbcode that I use by placing the URL into a redited button.

name: digg
bbcode tag: digg
[digg]http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/hall-fame/911-mass-media-mind-control-16.html#post2495425[/digg]
replacement code:

Code:

<script>

digg_url = '{param}';

digg_window = 'new';

</script>

<script src="http://digg.com/api/diggthis.js"></script>

no for all selections

this spead up my showthread response and only slowed down the ones where the digg code was embeded.

Any way to get this to work with vblogetin? This is what I have been able to do so far:

Code:

<!-- Digg -->

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

<script type="text/javascript">

digg_url = '$entry[url]';

digg_title = "$entry[title]";

digg_skin = 'compact';

digg_window = 'new';

</script>

<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

</td>

<!-- / Digg -->

but the urls are coming out:
http://gridironfans.com/forums/blogs...521&;entry=420

instead of:
http://gridironfans.com/forums/blogs...=521&entry=420

It seems to be throwing a ";" between the user id and entry id.
