This has evolved into full digg integration, when someone diggs someone elses topic. And someone on digg.com clicks on the link, the thread poster gets credited with 1 digg. Plus the digg button with the current digg count gets added to the threads postbit.

Congratulations on all the updates so quickly. Much appreciated.

I seem to have a problem with the postbit bg colour, or maybe it's my understanding of a postbit.

I changed the bg colour for the postbit in the admincp but the "Digg this story" button background stayed the same. I tried several different bg colours and the button background didn't change.

Granted, I'm an impatient fellow and immediately went to forum page and refreshed it to see if bg had changed.

I simply wanted the "Digg this story" button bg to stand out a tad more in both IE and Firefox.

Does the postbit bg line in admincp change the bg on the "Digg this story" button?

The "diggs" in postbit after I dugg some threads from my forum remained 0. When there is a number in the postbit changes?

Well that answers my question. From the current description in the OP, the process sounded manual.

Now that it's automatic, I'm digging your digg!

Clicks install.

the postbit bg only apply's after the story has been dugg, if you would like to be able to change the digg image i may be ables to do something.

you forum needs to update the count, it isn't instant.

see digg.com takes time to register you url as dugg, even though you see your story. Also the digg count only changes when your topic gets automatically dugg, so the manually adding the digg url will avoid adding a digg to your account.

I have a custom skin that changes the look of postbit_legacy. When I enable DiggTopic, the Diggs count for the users doesn't look great. (See attached screenshot).

What would I need to edit to get it to display like my Location and Posts boxes in the postbit?

hmm, i really want to avoid template changes. I guess i can add a option in the ACP like postbit diggs CLASS or somthing the reason why it shows up like that is because the <div has a custom class.

Well, it might look better if it were added under the Instant Messaging icons, and maybe with a space in front of Diggs, so that is a little better aligned. Just a thought.

Good work so far.


If I wanted to play with the code, can you tell me what DiggTopic code I'd need to manually insert into the Postbit_legacy template? I can play around with it manually to see if I can come up with some better placement.

But I agree with you - I was attracted to your Mod specifically because of no template changes required.

lol dont bother messing with the plugin code its very complex.

i might create postbit template hooks, like:

<!-- diggTopic_digg -->
<!-- diggTopic_usercount -->

for custom positioning.

That would be awesome. Much like some of the other mods out there (Billspaypal comes to mind). Most of the automatically placed things don't work for my custom skin, so it's nice to be able to manually place some code-bits where I need them.

added all your suggestions

also fireproof for the custom digg user count placement it will just product a number so you can do this:

<div class="info">
	Diggs: <!-- diggTopic_userdiggcount -->
</div>

[Coders Shack]

if you can think of anything else to add I'm open to suggestions

also if your upgrading from 1.05, 1.04 , 1.02 then uninstall the product and re-install it. If your upgrading from 1.06 then just update the product.
