You just need to edit the first line. Change this:

<vb:if condition="$page['view'] == 'thread'">

for this:

<vb:if condition="$page['view'] == 'thread' OR $page['view'] == 'stream'">

Tested en VB 5.1.5 it doesn't works u.u

[DesignMVD]

Upgrade vb 5.1.6 please

[TwinsForMe]

Can this be restricted to certain forums based on channel permissions? I have some private areas of the board where I wouldn't want this.

[koko10ar]

Work fine in 5.1.6.

Great!

In spanish forums replace this line:

.share-buttons .facebook { width:135px; }

for this:

.share-buttons .facebook { width:175px; }

because Like = "Me gusta" and Share = "Compartir" and 135 px cut the bottons.

Can you help me adding linkedin button?

Regards!

[vb_nils]

Works well on 5.1.7.

For French, replace

.share-buttons .facebook { width:135px; }

by

.share-buttons .facebook { width:160px; }
