End-User Options - Submit to Twitter, Facebook and Digg

I have been adding these as I go and decided to share, I am sure there are other versions out there but this is how I do it. See screenshot for example of where it goes and how it looks. Keeping up with the latest in social networking keeps traffic flowing to your site.

This can all be added at once or you may add only the one's you want. Additionally, this will probably work in any version of vB.

In the SHOWTHREAD template find:

<td class="vbmenu_control" id="threadtools" nowrap="nowrap">

Paste this ABOVE:

<!-- Facebook Share -->
<if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'], array(1,2))">
<else />
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="facebook" nowrap="nowrap">
<script>function fbs_click() {u=location.href;t=document.title;window.open('http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u='+encodeURIComponent(u)+'&t='+encodeURIComponent(t),'sharer','toolbar=0,status=0,width=626,height=436');return false;}</script><style> html .fb_share_button { display: -moz-inline-block; display:inline-block; padding:1px 20px 0 5px; height:15px; border:1px solid #d8dfea; background:url(http://b.static.ak.fbcdn.net/images/share/facebook_share_icon.gif?8:26981) no-repeat top right; } html .fb_share_button:hover { color:#fff; border-color:#295582; background:#3b5998 url(http://b.static.ak.fbcdn.net/images/share/facebook_share_icon.gif?8:26981) no-repeat top right; text-decoration:none; } </style> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=<url>" class="fb_share_button" onclick="return fbs_click()" target="_blank" style="text-decoration:none;">Share</a>
</td>
</if>
<!-- / Facebook Share -->
<!-- Twitter Share -->
<if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'], array(1,2))">
<else />
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="twitter" nowrap="nowrap">
<script type="text/javascript">
var twtTitle  = document.title;
var twtUrl    = location.href;
var maxLength = 140 - (twtUrl.length + 1);
if (twtTitle.length > maxLength) {
twtTitle = twtTitle.substr(0, (maxLength - 3))+'...';
}
var twtLink = 'http://twitter.com/home?status='+encodeURIComponent(twtTitle + ' ' + twtUrl);
document.write('<a href="'+twtLink+'" target="_blank"'+'><img src="images/tweet.png"  border="0" alt="Tweet This!" /'+'><'+'/a>');
</script>
</div>
</if>
<!-- / Twitter Share -->
<!-- Digg Share -->
<if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'], array(1,2))">
<else />
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="digg" nowrap="nowrap">
<script type="text/javascript">
digg_url = 'http://www.YOURSITE.com/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]';
digg_title = "$threadinfo[title]";
<!-- Change color below to match your forum -->
digg_bgcolor = '#FFFFFF';
digg_skin = 'compact';
digg_window = 'new';
</script>
<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</td>
</if>
<!-- / Digg Share -->

Note the bolded statements above, these are where you must make changes:

enter the forum id's of the forums where you do not want it to show
<if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'], array(1,2))">

You will also see that in the digg section there is an option to change the background color and you will need to add your site URL.

The tweet image is attached, upload to your forum and change the path in the "Twitter Share" section.

Update: This has also been updated to vB4 Beta 3 here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228610

I think if you remove the Submit to Twitter and Submit to Digg text it will look perfect.

From what I can tell it's embedded in the javascript which is called from their servers. Take a look at the code and you'll probably see what I mean, that text is not in there.

I'd recommend tweaking the optional dropdown a bit so that the button and the description are in different columns within the dropdown. Much cleaner that way IMHO.

I'd say skip the description, just have the icon, and then when you hover the mouse over it then it could say "Share with ... ".

Cool mod. Is there any way to get it working with vBSEO?
