Submission buttons. eg Clesto, Digg, Del icio us.

Submission Buttons.

By Adrian at Dream It.
Inspired by SecondV, from vBulletin version v3.4.5.

What does it do?
This small template modification adds a button to Clesto, Digg and others, when clicked it will take you to the submission pages on the chosen site,

and it will automatically have the URL loaded on the submission form.

A great way to boost your traffic.

Notes:
Thanks to ShackMaster for the Spurl icon. It has being included in the vBsubmission.zip

Installalation

Download the vBsubmission.zip

Extract it.

Upload all the images to /images/buttons/ on your server.

I have a problem with this, anytime i click a button to submit I do not get the thread id at the end of the url. It just "showhread.php?t="
Example: http://www.music-web.org/forum/showthread.php?t=540

I maybe should mention that I have my submit buttons under the frop down menu "thread tools"

You can add the buttons to the left of the edit, quote, multi quote buttons if you want. Just do this.

Go into postbit_legacy

Find:

<!-- controls -->

Add below:

<!-- Clesto -->
<a href="http://clesto.com/submit.php?phase=2&url=$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$post[threadid]" target="_blank"><img class="inlineimg"  

src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/clesto.png" alt="Submit to Clesto" border="0" hspace="3" vspace="0" align="left" /></a>

thx m8, this worked perfectly. Iadded it to the top of the threads at http://www.wvutalk.com

[chkdgate]

How effective can this be?

[s25]

If your site got digged allot it could be very effective, Over all it would make your site get more hits and traffic assuming it is used!

Added Jeqq.com by request.

Excellent hack Adrian.

Dude, that really sweet! Will you release it?

My icons are not displaying properly. Can you help? Thanks.

Edit: Man, I think it's my skin because I just tried it for vb's default theme and it worked fine. Is there any way around this? I can't let go of my current skin.

Edit 2: Sorry everyone. I never dealt with styles before. I didn't realize that I had to upload the images in my "new" style's button folder. Btw, did anyone else notice that Thread Tag and Clesto aren't working?

[chkdgate]

I just thought you guys would like an updated reddit icon. I cleaned it up quite a bit in photoshop.:up:

Simple replace all occurance of $threadid with $news[threadid] and and $thread[title] with $news[title].

Insert it in adv_portal_newsbits style template under:

$news[dateposted] - <phrase 1="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$news[postuserid]" 2="$news[postusername]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase>

You're the man, libertate! Thanks. You should update it for the rest of us.
