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

Thanks. Please let me know what your "FORUMHOME" location is set to. Please turn it off on FORUMHOME and test again.

Thank You.

Attached is a copy of a "virgin" template- it has very minimal custom spacing edits.

Use this template if you want to customize the order of the various share buttons.

Each share button is between START and END code comments such as:

<!-- Google+1 START -->

<vb:if condition="$bopgoog">
<td>
<div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script>
<g:plusone size="medium" style="width:70px;" count="<vb:if condition="$bopgoog == 2">false<vb:else />true</vb:if>" href="{vb:raw bophref}"></g:plusone>
</div>
</td>
<vb:if condition="$bopgoog == 2"><td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td></vb:if>
</vb:if>

<!-- Google+1 END -->

That is the Google +1 block. You should copy and move all of it above any other block(s) you want to change the order.

Most share code blocks are small and simple but some like Facebook Like and AddThis are very long and complicated. Make sure you moved the ENTIRE block when changing orders, from the START to the END tags. Do not edit parts of the template marked "Do Not Edit."

Going forward I will include this template file in the zip file of the mod but for version 2.20 it was not included.

You open the text file and copy the entire code into your more_share_options template on any style(s) you want.

I see your Facebook Like button is on the right but I thought they moved it to the left in 4.1.2. Did you do something to move it to the right or is that the default location in 4.1.3?

Link to your forum?

When you say recommend doesn't work- have you tried Like?

Does it work in threads?
