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

Would be the more_share_tng template- you would need to change any http URLs to https URLs in the template.

The URLs support is exactly the same between free and gold.

Why do you care what URLs are on Facebook? The people don't look at the URLs, they aren't even visible in most cases. The URLs still bring people to the correct page.

Because of multiple reasons:
- Better branding effect (user can see the thread title in the URL)
- Better analytics by filtering the entry URLs
- In the future better SEO-Effect (301 redirects loose a little bit linking power)

Is it possible you have hooks (plugins) disabled?

Is Automatically Show Below Navbar? set to Yes in the mod options?

If you want me to log in and see what is wrong PM me an admin username/password/link to forum, and link to your post.

I can't attempt to diagnose the problem as an error pops up when I right click on your site.

But you can disable this mod and see if the built in Facebook like button works.

Ohhh sorry, forgot about that, right click is disabled now.
"Right click" mod is not a problem here(double checked, even before), I just dont have idea why on some places its working just fine and on another ones its a problem....when clicked on FB icon window appears for a second and than just goes away and like is not recorded.

Tweet, G+ and everything else is working fine tho

ps
if needed I would be glad to provide you admin access

[BirdOPrey5]

It seems like some other javascript is causing a problem. Can you give a few more examples of working and non-working pages, maybe I can see something in common.

[goxy63]

I was checking it these days, was thinking its working on some places, but its not.
Its just letting me that on some pages I can have an option to like and even write comment, it just seem to be all ok but like and comment would not be recorded at FB at all (while on some pages I could not even click like, or see window for comment)

not working, when clicking like (FB) button comment button just pops out and disappears :
http://www.zaliv.net/threads/5105-Er...nje-sa-Tamarom

while here it all seems ok, but nothing recorded at fb:

Thank you for help, even if we dont resolve this

Cheers

The Facebook debugger is saying the Facebook Image you chose is causing problems because of white-space (spaces) in the filename. There should never be spaces in filenames for images or other content used on websites.

https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/

That is the Facebook Debugger- if you paste a URL to your forum into it and scrape the page it will tell you any problems it finds.

Try renaming the image file to remove spaces and update the url in the vBulletin Facebook settings.
