Miscellaneous Hacks - More Share Options TNG by BOP5 (Facebook, Twitter, Google +1, AddThis) Share Buttons

Brought to you by BirdOPrey5
www.Qapla.com

Current Version: 3.2

More Share Options The Next Generation (v 3.0) is a complete rewrite of my "More Share Options" mod. If you are looking for the old version I am keeping it attached (More Share Options for VB4 by BOP5v261.zip) but it will no longer be updated or supported.

The purpose of the mod is to add additional share "buttons" (Besides Facebook Like) to vBulletin.

Demo: Practically every page of Qapla.com has the "Gold" version enabled.

There is GOLD Version with additional features available at:
http://www.qapla.com/mods/showthread...4-by-BOP5-GOLD

The FREE Version allows sharing to the following sites:

• Facebook (Like OR Recommend with Send Button Option, and with old style "Share" option, Dark Option, Show Faces Option)
• Twitter (Specify "Via" Username, Related Account, default hash tags, and language- With or without counts)
• Google +1 (With or without count, option to use built in Facebook language or specify custom language)
• Add This (Option to input publisher ID for analytics tracking, enable/disable printing, disable duplicate sites option)

The FREE Version also has the following Style Vars for basic styling:

• Height of Share Bar (in Pixels)
• Padding
• Margins

The GOLD Version has all of the above PLUS the following additional share options:

• Pinterest (With or without count, option to specify pinned image, better Pin It sharing button in Beta available for testing)
• Digg (With count or icon only)
• Linked In (With or without count)
• StumbleUpon (Several options with/without counts)
• Reddit (Several options with/without "points")
• Custom Buttons (Add as many additional custom buttons as you want!)

The GOLD Version also has additional Style Vars for complete control of Share Bar Styling:

• Background
• Border

(Both FREE and GOLD can be completely customized by CSS as well if you prefer not to use Style Vars.)

Some of the major differences between More Share Options TNG and the Original Version:

• Share Buttons now show on ALL pages, including pages by 3rd party applications like Arcades and Media Galleries.
• Twitter Count Now WORKS
• Table-less design (All formatting done via CSS/Style Vars)
• Additional built-in Facebook and Twitter options
• New options to disable by Usergroup and/or THIS_SCRIPT value (as well as by Forum and by Style)
• Pinterest Now Integrated (Gold version only)

As with the prior version, fast loading Asynchronous JavaScript is used everywhere possible.

IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE!

If you are "upgrading" from an old version (any version less than 3.0) be aware this version (TNG) has been coded as a completely new and separate mod. It will NOT upgrade an old version.

I suggest if you run an old version of "More Share Options" you disable it via Product Manager in Admin CP.

Install and configure this new mod and make sure it works and you like it.

If you do like it then you can uninstall the old mod from Product Manager.

IMPORTANT - Some users have reported the new mod will not run until the old mod is uninstalled. If you have installed 3.0 and it is not running, please try uninstalling the old mod first.

VBSEO Compatibility:

UPDATE: It has been reported working with VBSEO!

Basically I have no idea how compatible this may be with VBSEO as I don't have access to a VBSEO enabled forum. If you use VBSEO be sure it works as designed (you can share pages.)

Test share 3 pages: The Forum Home, a Thread (showthread), and a Forum (forumdisplay) - if all 3 shares work I am confident the mod will work completely for you. I suggest you use Twitter or Facebook for your testing.

If you do run into VBSEO issues please post here and I will do my best to fix.

General Compatibility:
This has been tested as far back a VB 4.0.8 and as recent as VB 4.2.0. It is expected to work on all VB 4.x.x versions however if you have a very old version of VB please try the FREE version before purchasing the Gold to ensure compatibility. This is not compatible with VB 3.x.

As of version 3.2.0 there is a recommended manual file edit for those running VB 4.1.9 or below.

To be clear the New (TNG) Version is: More Share Options TNG FREE (v 3.2) by BOP5.zip

There are a lot of scripts related to pages that I don't want to display on and I always seem to be coming across more.

private, usercp, profile, faq, search, misc, group, showgroups, subscription, online, calendar, memberlist, activity + any mods you don't want it to appear on, etc.

I think overall it would be easier (at least for me) to keep track of which scripts/pages it displays on than which scripts I don't want it to display on.

What you have so far is useful, though. Do we have a list of all the scripts we should block that could be copy and pasted in?

Basically I want it to work in Blogs, Threads, Forums and my add-ons. Probably everything else I want to block.

I only disable on these scripts:

private
usercp
profile

Installed but for some reason this mod only shows on forum home. What do I need to do to allow this to show on all forum except private forums? I changed the options to disable in private forums but they don't show in any of the public forums.

You're using the old and unsupported version.... The current version is in the file: More Share Options TNG FREE (v 3.2) by BOP5.zip and that is the one described in the first post now.

The version you are using does not work well on custom styles, it would probably work on the default style.

Thank you, installed and works great. Another question, is there any way when I tweet a topic from my forum that it will automatically change the title of the tweet to the title of the topic. Currently the title is always the name of the forumhome/website.

I'm not familiar with all these social sharing things, but when you click the "Like" button or any of the others is it liking the entire forum/site or is it only liking that particular page/section/post/thread?

It will post a link to the post with the post title. If you select it on the forum home page it is like saying that you liked the forum and has a link to the forum and not a post on the forum.

On my forum sharing a thread share the title of the thread, not the forum name.

Twitter should be picking up the title from the <title> tag in the HTML page, can you post a link to a thread on your site so I can see it?

I've downloaded the plugin but haven't installed it yet, I was just curious how it worked. I am trying to figure out a place to stick it on the site. I was thinking right under the search bar in the white row underneath. What do you think?
