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.

Is this plugin supposed to work from the mobile theme? I can't get the like button to work via mobile. I tried likinv a post and it didn't appear in my timeline nor was I able to comment on my "like" as i can on the desktop version. Of vourse this is a problem for me since most people use a mobile browser now. Try this link: http://mymodeltalk.com/jobs/threads/...09#post1472909

No it wasn't designed to work on Mobile mostly because I don't think there's any great way of placing multiple buttons on a mobile page. Sorry.

I will consider adding a mobile option in the next version.

Hey there, I don't see the sharing options in my mobile style theme. Take a look at this thread in your mobile. How do I get them to populate? Most of my members use a mobile browser or some sort of smartphone to view the site. I want them to be able to share as well.

Here are screenshots of the settings I'm using:

Same answer.

<font size="3">There is a standard mobile sharing symbol that is widely recognized by mobile users. Normally it expands with options when selected.</font>

Edit the "more_share_options" template- look for: en_US and change it to your language.

However that code is really only used in older VB4 versions. Newer VB4 versions this should be set by the forum itself. If this mod is disabled is your LIKE button in English or German?

I changed "share" in the template "more_share_tng" to "teilen" but it still shows up as "share". Weird. Any ideas what else I do have to change?

Another issue, do you have any trick to bring the share buttons to be under the article text in CMS?
Thanks in advance.

[SilverBoy]

Another point, how I can display Facebook Like and Facebook Share buttons in the same time just like what you have in your site?

[SilverBoy]

I tried to manually add the code to the end of "navbar" template to show the buttons under the notices area but without luck!!

Any help?

[SilverBoy]

Hi

I think I handled with all issues now, the only I want you Joe to help me in is adding share and like buttons to the bar in the same time, just like you have in your site.

Thanks in advance.
