Hi guys,

This was initially a template modification i created, i decided to make things much easier for people to compile it all into this product,

What is Social Networking in Postbit & Profile:

Well the name pretty much gives it away! This mod will add social networking icons for 10 social websites into both the vertical and horizontal postbit and now in a users profile with features like:

• Option to turn Modification on/off.
• Option to enable icons with or without a block.
• Option to turn profile block on/off.
• Option on location of profile block.
• 2x Icon sets 16x16 and 24x24.
• Mouseover and Mouseout animation.
• etc.

-INSTALLATION-

-STEP 1-
Goto admincp -> User Profile Fields -> Add new User Profile Field and add the following fields:

Once you have created the profiled fields, take a note of the field numbers.

Note: If you do not want to use all of these websites then just add the fields of the websites that you do want to use.

-STEP 2-
Download the attached zip file, extract the files, open the UPLOAD folder and choose which icon set you wish to use, the options are 16x16 or 24x24 icons. Once you have decided, FTP the images folder to the root of your forums.

-Step 3-
Goto admincp -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product and upload the install file (product-socialpostbit.xml).

-Step 4-
Goto admincp -> Options -> [Boydy]Social Networking in Postbit. Now you must decide how you want to configure the mod, you can see examples of with/without block in the screenshots below. Next all you need to do is input all of the relevant profile field numbers and that's it! If you do not wish to use some of the websites included just leave the setting blank or set to 0.

And that's it! Screenshots below of the icon sets, admincp settings and the mod itself. Credit for the icons goes to sawb.What's new in version 1.0.2:

• Social networking block now added to profile.
• Option to enable/disable profile block.
• Option on location of profile block. (TOP, MIDDLE, BOTTOM)
• Some minor code and template changes from original release.
• Added version checking to the mod.
• etc.

What's new in version 1.0.3:

• Fixed bug with postbit setting.
• Added new setting for enabling/disabling the postbit only.
• etc.

I do have some other idea's on how to further extend this modification which you'll see in a future update. If you are upgrading please remember to ALLOW OVERWRITE.

If you install this and For future updates and support please remember to mark as installed!

I've had a lot of PM's requesting my Paypal to donate so i have now set it up on here, feel free to donate if you like although please do not feel you have to

All donations are greatly appreciated

Thanks for your patience folks!

Patiently awaiting your update that will automate all the fixes that I have mentioned previously as I have installed a new message board and want to install this add on again but want it to work straight out of the box as I wish

Where exactly does 24x24 need to be placed... in the actual forum root or images folder? nothing showing! and yes fields are set correctly...

[LuDawgs]

Can we slide reddit and digg into this release? #beggingworkssometimes

[MaXimus]

when is this awesome mod ever going to get updated to work right?

[LuDawgs]

Praying for Reddit, Digg, Maybe even Stumbleupon...

I installed a "post thank you hack" the other day, but either that mod is interfering with this one, or this one is interfering with that.

Notice the icons here:

Hi guys,

Sorry for the time it's taken for a response, i've just recently started a new job and i really just don't have the time at the moment to be doing this. I've set it to unsupported just now as i cannot commit to it in the near future.

I have however set the code to re-usable, so if someone wants to take this on then they can feel free as long as this mod is credited.

Thanks,

Boydy

I've installed this mod for a several times, but without succes

Hopely is boydy able to find some time for helping me with my problem. It seems that I'm the first one with this message showing up:

Fatal error: Class 'vB_Template' not found in /home/mydomain/domains/mydomain.nl/public_html/forum/includes/class_postbit.php(294) : eval()'d code on line 19

Can you give me (and my forummembers) a good start of 2012? :

How can we extend this mod to make the social buttons appear on the CMS article?
