Show Thread Enhancements - Submit threads, blogs, articles to facebook, twitter, myspace and others - addtoany

Just thought I would share a way I found for your members to submit threads to any social networking site like facebook, Twitter, digg...any of them!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To add this code, you will need to edit your "ShowThread" template.


Go to: Admincp>Styles & Templates>Style manager>Edit templates>Show Thread templates>SHOWTHREAD


In the SHOWTHREAD template, Find:

<div id="thread_controls" class="thread_controls">
<div>

And below that, add this code:

<a class="a2a_dd" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save"><img src="http://static.addtoany.com/buttons/share_save_171_16.png" width="171" height="16" border="0" alt="Share/Bookmark"/></a><script type="text/javascript">a2a_show_title=1;a2a_num_services=14;</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.addtoany.com/menu/page.js"></script>

If you would like to customize the button code, go to www.addtoany.com


Anyway, that is it! very simple, light weight and effective! Enjoy!

I'm having no problems with the Blog or Forum sharing, but when I try to share a CMS Article it forwards it to Facebook with the same default:

<Name of Board>
http://www.urlofboard.co.uk

This is a discussion forum powered by vBulletin. To find out about vBulletin, go to http://www.vbulletin.com/ .


How do I get it to pick up the Metatags and Title of a CMS article?

Other than this, it's a great great mod.

As a side note, I like your skin. Where can I find that one?

Here is a DEMO: CLICK HERE

If you wanna do it this same way...


Go to the "vbcms_content_article_page" template

Find:

<vb:if condition="$comment_block">
                        <div class="article_rating_container">
                            	<a href="{vb:raw page_url}#comments"  rel="nofollow">{vb:raw comment_count} <vb:if condition="$comment_count == '1'">{vb:rawphrase comment}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase comments}</vb:if></a>
				<img src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/comment.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase comments}" border="0" />
                        </div>
                       </vb:if>
		</div>

And below that </div> tag add the button code:

<a class="a2a_dd" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save"><img src="http://static.addtoany.com/buttons/share_save_171_16.png" width="171" height="16" border="0" alt="Share/Bookmark"/></a><script type="text/javascript">a2a_show_title=1;a2a_num_services=14;</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.addtoany.com/menu/page.js"></script>

Just did some testing on my site but in a bunch of configurations it appears to be trouble free

Hi, it work not in vb 4.0.8 hat i have to do?

The powers that be messed with the styles, so it kills this mod unless a modified method is devised to insert the bar.

Peace,
Gene

Works fine for me on 4.08 and I have added it to my PhotoPlog Pro gallery as well.
To add it to PhotoPlog edit the photoplog_view_file template
Find

<tr id="photoplogfilerating_submit">
	<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite" align="center"><input type="submit" class="button" value="{vb:phrase photoplog_vote_now}" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</div>

Add the code below the div tag, the share icons will appear just above the information area.
