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:

Profile Field Type - Single-Line Text Box

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

Excellent mod, but any ideas on why only Soundcloud isn't showing in the post bit but is on the profile page? Thanks.

Dear all coder

[LgsOfChampions]

it's a shame no-one has continued support on this but for those who have this installed on their gaming forums I converted:
myspace -----> GameBattles/MLG ID
Google+ -----> Twitch.tv
Bebo ---------> Ustream.tv
Used the XML from post#150 in this thread to tweak...
images 24x24

FYI, since Google now allows you to link directly to your profile with the rel="author" link I simply modified postbit_social1 to this for the google link:

	<vb:if condition="$social['google']">
<a target ="blank" href="{vb:raw social.google}"<vb:if condition="$post[postid] == $GLOBALS['qrfirstpostid']"> rel="author"</vb:if>><img src="http://images.nikonites.com/images/postbit_social/google.png" alt="Add {vb:raw post.username} on Google+" /></a>
</vb:if>

All this says is 'if first post, insert rel="author"'

The icons dont show up anywhere and every time I save the profile field numbers they set to 0

When I installed this, the icons in post start acting funny. When I scroll over the newly posted instagram icon it moves vertically, when I move my mouse it goes back into position.

I'm stuck on this too. It seems without this additional fields won't work. The edited version to include Pinterest, Instagram, and Soundcloud does not work becuase the codes were not added for those extra add-ons. I'm trying to add Instagram, Pinterest, Etsy, and deviantART. I've gotten all the other coding changed, but the date numbers are a complete mystery. I tried putting in all the other additional coding and just using the same number as Vimeo.. didn't work. I tried putting in different numbers.. didn't work. Seems like it's one icon/field per number too. Googling hasn't turned up anything yet :/ Going to try and look into this.. will post if I find anything.

I cant get these to show up at all...any ideas?
