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

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

When I click conversion_toolbar it wont let me customize it

Works, thanks a bunch! VB5.0.5

works, thank you so mch

thanks

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

Thanks.

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.

This work.

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.

It works for 5.1.4 thanks :D

Works great in 5.1.1 :D

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

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

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

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

Great, this is what I was looking for!

Works in 5.1.5
Thanks

Seems to be working well in 5.1.4. Thanks! :up:

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'">

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

Upgrade vb 5.1.6 please :)

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.

Work fine in 5.1.6.

Great! :D

In spanish forums replace this line:
for this:
because Like = "Me gusta" and Share = "Compartir" and 135 px cut the bottons.

Can you help me adding linkedin button?

Regards!

Works well on 5.1.7.

For French, replace
by

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).

does it work with vb 5.1.9 ?

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?

Its useful thanks

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. . .

works fine , thanks

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

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
