Miscellaneous Hacks - Share Buttons Bar by BOP5 (Facebook Like, Twitter, Google+1, and more share options)

This is the VB 3.8 version of my very popular "More Share Options" for VB4.

Since VB4 already had Facebook built in the mod was called "More Share Options." But since VB 3.8 (and earlier) do not have any share options built in the mod is called "Share Buttons Bar." but they do very much the same thing.

This mod will automatically add a bar to your navbar with many popular dedicated share buttons available including:

• Facebook (Like/Recommend/Send)
• Twitter Tweet
• Digg
• Google +1
• Linked In
• Stumble Upon
• Add This (which contains hundreds of more sites!)

There are no other mods available on vBulletin.org with as many share options, nor a simple install-able product with no manual edits needed in most cases.

In the event you want to make manual template edits instructions are included on how to do so.

I am using this mod on my forum, http://www.juot.net/forums/ but only in threads and I have manually included it in my SHOWTHREAD template only. For a better idea of what this mod really looks like see the screenshot.

This mod will allow you to share any page of your forum including forumhome, forumdisplay, threads, social groups, calendars, albums, pictures, arcade games, blogs- any page that has the navbar on it can be shared. In this respect it is actually far more useful than my 4.x version.

All Share Buttons are set to load JavaScript Asynchronously so it will never slow down a page load!

What would I do if I have both English and Spanish installed as languages on my forum and want en_US if viewed in English and the Spanish equivalent if viewed in Spanish?

[BirdOPrey5]

I don't believe there is anything you can do about that. You might be able to use some sort of template conditional where you see what the current language id is and choose english or spanish based off that but I'm not going to support extensive code changes like this. There are articles on template conditionals in the articles section that can get you started.

Installed and works good (still playing with the settings)

Also changed the language of de facebooktext to dutch.
Is it possible to change all phrases to dutch?

[B@Zzz...]

Playing with the options and the first question is here:
Why do I have to fill in a number and where can I get this number (not by following the link):

Facebook App ID
Your Facebook Application ID. If you don't have one, get one here.

[BirdOPrey5]

You need a facebook application ID for all facebook features to work. You must get it by following the link to the facebook developer's page, that is the only place you can get an app id.

As for other phrases in dutch, I don't think there are any other phrases, but if so you'd have to look up the button codes individually.

[B@Zzz...]

tnx for your answer, but what features will I get more with the appID?

When I follow the link I get this page:
https://developers.facebook.com/apps

But no ID?

[VHLinks]

Man I'm totally lost on the app thing. I must have the settings for it wrong.

I get the "Like" button on my forum no problem, I click it, it works and updates the counter. I look on my Facebook page, and NOTHING is on there. I did register an app and have an ID, and I put it in the plugin settings. Are there some other settings you need to do for the app to make it work? I mean I've put in the URL, email, name...I gotta be missing something.

HELP!!!

Posting that link doesn't mean much because it will be different for different people.
You must already be a facebook member and already be signed into your facebook account for the link to take you to the proper place.

If I remember right it takes you to a page that allows you to create an app, it doesn't just hand you an appid by clicking on it- you have to put in some info and when you are done you get an appid.

Thank you very much for any help. This is driving me nuts!

[BirdOPrey5]

I put your site in the Facebook Debugger and got this:

https://developers.facebook.com/tool...ks-t52693.html

It's saying that there were too many redirects... if you scroll down you'll see at least two 301 redirects and a 3rd page.

I'm not really sure how or why this is happening- it may be the result of your .htaccess file or the way your domain is setup. I really don't have any more info- hopefully you know what is going on.
