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!

It was a lot of trial and error, I don't remember the exact changes- I know I had to edit the whole row, not just the one box-

Here is code from my current SHOWTHREAD template from juot.net- feel free to try it:

<!-- toolbar -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-bottom-width:0px">
<tr>
	<td class="tcat" width="185">
		<div class="smallfont">
		<if condition="$show['firstunreadlink']">
			<a href="$firstunread"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/firstnew.gif" alt="$vbphrase[view_first_unread]" border="0" /></a>
			<a href="$firstunread"><strong>$vbphrase[view_first_unread]</strong></a>
		</if>
		&nbsp;
		</div>
        <img src="clear.gif" width="185" height="1" border="0" />
	</td>
        <td class="alt1" width="100%" align="right" padding="0" style="padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:0px; padding-right:0px; background: #869BBF url(/forums/images/gradients/gradient_tcat.gif) repeat-x top left;">
        $more_share_options
        </td>
	<td class="vbmenu_control" id="threadtools" nowrap="nowrap">
		<a href="$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>
	<if condition="$show['search']">
		<td class="vbmenu_control" id="threadsearch" nowrap="nowrap">
			<a href="$show[nojs_link]#goto_threadsearch">$vbphrase[search_this_thread]</a>
			<if condition="$show['popups']"><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("threadsearch"); </script></if>

I had a quick play around and decided on the row below. I'm using Facebook Connect plugin which is causing some errors to the FB like app as per the previous posts. Is there a work around for the 3.8.x version?

[BirdOPrey5]

I've never used Facebook connect for VB 3.x- is there a specific error being returned? Can you check for a javascript error in your browser? (In Chrome right click-> View Element then click on the "Console" tab to see Javascript errors) - not sure how to do it in other browsers but I know there is a way.

Hello, just activated this mod and my users are happy!

Only one question, it doesn't show up on the vBadvancedCMPS-portal (v3.2.1)? Do I have to make any other changes? (vBulletin v3.8.1)

[BirdOPrey5]

Sorry I don't have any experience trying to get this to work on VBA CMPS.

For my own site I just put the HTML Facebook (and the other sites) give me directly into a module and use them that way.

[B@Zzz...]

Thanks for you fast reply!
You have an example of the HTML-code you used on your website?

[BirdOPrey5]

When I went to check I see I actually removed them from that page for some reason and didn't keep a copy...

For the facebook code just go here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs.../plugins/like/

fill out the boxes and facebook will give you the code.
