Miscellaneous Hacks - vBsociable

What is this!?
This modification is a continuation of my vBdigger hack. This hack displays buttons in a new thread tools menu "Submit Tools" that will allow your users to submit a thread to many of the popular social sites such as digg, del.icio.us, reddit, etc.

Current Version
1.0.2

Current Features:
Can submit to the following sites:

• del.icio.us
• Digg
• Facebook
• feedmelinks
• Furl
• Ma.gnolia
• NewsVine
• Netscape
• Reddit
• Slashdot
• SphereIt
• Spurl
• StumbleUpon
• Technorati
• YahooMyWeb

It allows to disable this menu for certain forums, turn it on/off, open the links in a new window or not.

Features flagged for future version(s):

• Allow to remove sites from the listing, via ACP
• Add: google, askjeeves, earthlink, simpy, bluedot.us and indianpad
• Anything else that you all suggest.

Will this work on x.x.x ??
Unless otherwise stated, this will work on all 3.6 versions.

Sounds cool. How do I install?

1. Upload the images found in images/buttons/ to your images/buttons/ folder.
2. Import the product, product-vBsociable.xml
3. Make the following template edits:
   SHOWTHREAD
   
   Find:
   

   	<td class="vbmenu_control" id="threadtools" nowrap="nowrap">
   		<a href="$show[nojs_link]#goto_threadtools"<if condition="is_browser('ie')"> accesskey="3"</if>>$vbphrase[thread_tools]</a>
   		<if condition="$show['popups']"><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("threadtools"); </script></if>
   	</td>

   Add before:
   

   	<if condition="$show['vBsociable']">
   	<td class="vbmenu_control" id="vBsociable" nowrap="nowrap">
   		<a href="$show[nojs_link]#goto_vBsociable">$vbphrase[vBsociable]</a>
   		<if condition="$show['popups']"><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("vBsociable"); </script></if>
   	</td>
   	</if>

   Find:
   

   <!-- thread tools menu -->

   Add before:
   

   <if condition="$show['vBsociable']">
   <!-- vBsociable menu -->
   <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="vBsociable_menu" style="display:none">
   	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
   	<tr>
   		<td class="thead">$vbphrase[vBsociable]<a name="goto_vBsociable"></a></td>
   	</tr>
   	<tr>
   		<td class="vbmenu_option">$vbphrase[vBsociable_submit]</td>
   	</tr>
   	$vBsociablebits
   	</table>
   </div>
   <!-- / vBsociable menu -->
   </if>

4. Set options in AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Tread Display Options (showthread)

You can edit the XML file very easily. I edited it for my site, removed a lot of the ones my users would not be interested in, and moved them around (like Facebook on top, since we have a lot of members on Facebook.)
