Show Thread Enhancements - Digg Display & Digg Count

Get your users to Digg more threads with this simple modification. It's more visible and will promote more Diggs.

What this does differently from the stock Bookmarks is put the Digg button on top of the post in a nice little box and displays how many diggs the post has gotten. This uses javascript provided by Digg. The background color can also be defined.

Update: Fixed the javascript so it will now show the thread title if it has special characters in it.

In SHOWTHREAD find:

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

Add this just above: (be sure to add your forum URL so it Digg can grab the title, you may optionally remove that line if you have an SEO mod installed but the title will have to be submitted manually)

<!-- Digg -->
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="digg" nowrap="nowrap">
<script type="text/javascript">
digg_url = 'SITE URL/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]';
digg_title = "$threadinfo[title]";
digg_skin = 'compact';
digg_window = 'new';
</script>
<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</td>
<!-- / Digg -->

Please click install if you use this.

Great idea!

Does it work on 3.7.0?

A great idea. I wish this was available for stumbleupon as well. Digg is great, but stumbleopun has sent many more people to my site.

I have the latest version of vBulletin; 3.7.1. When I look in "showthread.php" I can't seem to find that line. I am looking in the right fille, correct? Any ideas?

Please Help,
Cody

I have 3.7.2 installed but when i put the code in, its missing from the location at the top of the thread. i.e i cant see it.

Any idea how to make this compatible with 3.7.1 and 3.7.2. A few people before me have asked this too. Thanks.

works fine for me on a 3.7.2 installation; trying to work on the background color thing; shame that it can't match the skins better.

When an article is dugg, the link to the diggs is dark blue on my dark red color (#990000)

Is there anyway to fix this? Thanks.
