Miscellaneous Hacks - More Share Options TNG by BOP5 (Facebook, Twitter, Google +1, AddThis) Share Buttons

Brought to you by BirdOPrey5
www.Qapla.com

Current Version: 3.2

More Share Options The Next Generation (v 3.0) is a complete rewrite of my "More Share Options" mod. If you are looking for the old version I am keeping it attached (More Share Options for VB4 by BOP5v261.zip) but it will no longer be updated or supported.

The purpose of the mod is to add additional share "buttons" (Besides Facebook Like) to vBulletin.

Demo: Practically every page of Qapla.com has the "Gold" version enabled.

There is GOLD Version with additional features available at:
http://www.qapla.com/mods/showthread...4-by-BOP5-GOLD

The FREE Version allows sharing to the following sites:

• Facebook (Like OR Recommend with Send Button Option, and with old style "Share" option, Dark Option, Show Faces Option)
• Twitter (Specify "Via" Username, Related Account, default hash tags, and language- With or without counts)
• Google +1 (With or without count, option to use built in Facebook language or specify custom language)
• Add This (Option to input publisher ID for analytics tracking, enable/disable printing, disable duplicate sites option)

The FREE Version also has the following Style Vars for basic styling:

• Height of Share Bar (in Pixels)
• Padding
• Margins

The GOLD Version has all of the above PLUS the following additional share options:

• Pinterest (With or without count, option to specify pinned image, better Pin It sharing button in Beta available for testing)
• Digg (With count or icon only)
• Linked In (With or without count)
• StumbleUpon (Several options with/without counts)
• Reddit (Several options with/without "points")
• Custom Buttons (Add as many additional custom buttons as you want!)

The GOLD Version also has additional Style Vars for complete control of Share Bar Styling:

• Background
• Border

(Both FREE and GOLD can be completely customized by CSS as well if you prefer not to use Style Vars.)

Some of the major differences between More Share Options TNG and the Original Version:

• Share Buttons now show on ALL pages, including pages by 3rd party applications like Arcades and Media Galleries.
• Twitter Count Now WORKS
• Table-less design (All formatting done via CSS/Style Vars)
• Additional built-in Facebook and Twitter options
• New options to disable by Usergroup and/or THIS_SCRIPT value (as well as by Forum and by Style)
• Pinterest Now Integrated (Gold version only)

As with the prior version, fast loading Asynchronous JavaScript is used everywhere possible.

IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE!

If you are "upgrading" from an old version (any version less than 3.0) be aware this version (TNG) has been coded as a completely new and separate mod. It will NOT upgrade an old version.

I suggest if you run an old version of "More Share Options" you disable it via Product Manager in Admin CP.

Install and configure this new mod and make sure it works and you like it.

If you do like it then you can uninstall the old mod from Product Manager.

IMPORTANT - Some users have reported the new mod will not run until the old mod is uninstalled. If you have installed 3.0 and it is not running, please try uninstalling the old mod first.

VBSEO Compatibility:

UPDATE: It has been reported working with VBSEO!

Basically I have no idea how compatible this may be with VBSEO as I don't have access to a VBSEO enabled forum. If you use VBSEO be sure it works as designed (you can share pages.)

Test share 3 pages: The Forum Home, a Thread (showthread), and a Forum (forumdisplay) - if all 3 shares work I am confident the mod will work completely for you. I suggest you use Twitter or Facebook for your testing.

If you do run into VBSEO issues please post here and I will do my best to fix.

General Compatibility:
This has been tested as far back a VB 4.0.8 and as recent as VB 4.2.0. It is expected to work on all VB 4.x.x versions however if you have a very old version of VB please try the FREE version before purchasing the Gold to ensure compatibility. This is not compatible with VB 3.x.

As of version 3.2.0 there is a recommended manual file edit for those running VB 4.1.9 or below.

To be clear the New (TNG) Version is: More Share Options TNG FREE (v 3.2) by BOP5.zip

I was using the 2.x version and today I decided to upgrade.
I placed the code manualy in SHOWTHREAD in the previous version with

<vb:if condition="$show['fb_likebutton']">
			<span style="margin-left:0px; position:absolute; left:60px;
margin-top:3px;">{vb:raw fblikebutton}</span>
		</vb:if>

Now I'm using:

{vb:raw more_share_tng}

in the same place, but nothing is displayed.
If I choos to automaticaly shows below navbar its works. Any help?

The new version doesn't work in the SHOWTHREAD template like the old version did.

TNG Version (3.x) = Only Works in navbar, header, or footer

The purpose of TNG is to share "all" pages so it works in the global templates.

I have problem com TNG.

My URL's when I will share with facebook URL is not the same topic, but another topic.

[BirdOPrey5]

Link to a page with the problem?

[bzcomputers]

Any chance in adding the option to "Enable On Only These Scripts". Seems to be too many scripts to disable on to get them all. It's definitely a lot easier to find all the scripts you want to display on then trying to find all the ones you don't want.

[bzcomputers]

I am using the Gold version, but I believe this issue will also apply to the free version.

The issue comes when trying to use this mod if your forum does not reside in the root.

I have a setup like this:
www.XXXX.com = CMS
www.XXXX.com/forum = Forum
www.XXXX.com/blog = Blog
www.XXXX.com/custom1 = Custom Page Area1
www.XXXX.com/custom2 = Custum Page Area2

It appears this mod is currently basing all links off of the Forum (bburl) followed by the relative path. Unfortunately for those of us that don't have the forum in the root this will not work.

I currently get links like this when attempting to use this mod on my custom pages:
www.XXXX.com/forum/custom1, when I need the links to be www.XXXX.com/custom1

Can you add an option to base custom page links off a custom base path so those of us not using the forum in the root can use this mod outside of the forum path. Possibly have an option that if the SCRIPT is equal to X then use Y base path.

The previous version that I used was under my chatbox. This version is above, how can I change it to be under the chatbox again?

Thanks

[BirdOPrey5]

It's probably not possible as coded. You could try changing the execution order of the plugins via plugin manager but that would only work if the chatbox happens to use the same template hook which I doubt.
