vBDigger

vBdigger is now officially continued as 'vBsociable'

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=149449


Hello everyone,

This will be my second 'mod' that I release for vBulletin. I was browsing the request forum and came across this thread, so I thought I'd make it.

It's fairly simple right now, if I can find the time.. I may do alot more with it.

Updated to 1.0.1 - See "Upgrading" below

What's it do?
It will add buttons to each post in a thread, allowing the user to submit the topic to digg or del.icio.us. It can be enabled/disabled through the admincp at anytime, along with showing digg or del.icio.us.

For those who may not know what digg or del.icio.us is, you may find out more about them with the following links:
www.digg.com/about
www.del.icio.us/about

Installation

1.) Import product-vbdigger.xml
2.) Upload digg.png & delicious.png to your images/buttons/ directory.
3.) Edit postbit(_legacy)

FIND:

			<if condition="$show['quickreply'] AND !$show['threadedmode']">
				<a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow" id="qr_$post[postid]" onclick="return false"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/quickreply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[quick_reply_to_this_message]" border="0" /></a>
			</if>

ADD AFTER:

            <if condition="$vboptions['vbdigger_enabled'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'private'">
                <if condition="$vboptions['vbdigger_digg']">
                  <a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$post[threadid]&title=$thread[title]" target="_blank"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/digg.png" alt="$vbphrase[submit_thread_to_digg]" title="$vbphrase[submit_thread_to_digg]" border="0" /></a>
                </if>
                <if condition="$vboptions['vbdigger_delicious']">
                  <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$post[threadid]&title=$thread[title]" target="_blank"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/delicious.png" alt="$vbphrase[submit_thread_to_delicious]" title="$vbphrase[submit_thread_to_delicious]" border="0" /></a>
                </if>
            </if>

Upgrading

To 1.0.1:

1.) Re-import product-vbdigger.xml with "Allow Overwrite" set to yes.
(Not actually necc. just updated version number)

2.) Edit postbit(_legacy)

FIND:
-----

            <if condition="$vboptions['vbdigger_enabled']">

REPLACE WITH:
-------------

            <if condition="$vboptions['vbdigger_enabled'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'private'">

Changelog
* Removed Icons from showing in pm's


It can be accessed in admincp under:
Vbulletin Options > Thread Display Options (showthread)

And that's it, fairly simple.

Enjoy.

How exactly does this work? For example, with digg, will the first person to click digg cause the thread link to be submitted to www.digg.com and then subsequent clicks on digg cause the digg count to increase? Doesn't the first person need a login account with digg before the link is submitted? Also, won't the initial person need to provide a summary of the topic? Does the first click on digg cause a digg login page to appear where the user can register/login and provide all this information?

I had the same questions!

What exactly happens when someone clicks on the dig button? Is the article linked back to the owner's forum?

[michaelsilvia]

I installed it and tested it out on digg.com. It is very cool and works great.

When submitting an article you will have to have a membership at digg.com and have to type up a short description. When your article is submitted it links right back to your forum. If you have some good content I recommend using this as it can only help your traffic.

Thanks for the great hack! I will try the del.icio.us. part next.

I know this will sound funny after everyone installed this, but it doesnt work for me LOL. I did everything as said in instructions but the icons just doesnt show up.

What happens with the second click? I'm guessing login then it casts a vote?

3.6 compatible? TIA.

Hey i have vb seo 3.0.0 rc3 installed. Im using vb 3.6.0.

Its all working fine but when i click on the del.icio.us link the url it gives in the header is a

showthread.php?id= one when ive got vb seo set so that they are all html files like thread-title.html.

Anyway i can make it go to the html one instead ?
