Description:
[hr]value[/hr]
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.

I'm very new to Digg, so maybe this is a dumb question but - on the "Digg count" - I've dugg two threads on my forum, but my count keeps going up. It's up to 14 now. Why is that? How does that work? Anyone?

Still have the same question about how "Digg counts" are calculated. See above post. Thanks!

Hello CS,

This looks to be a nice feature and I am trying very hard to add it to my site, however I have run into a lot of problems getting the product to work.

Pretty strange problem, actually - because it 'appears' to be working - that is when I view the source code. However, the page never displays the digg button. This appears to be a javascript error.

Below is the code snipped that is generating the js error. The error is "expected ')' " however, I'm not certain where or how I correct this.

<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right"><div style="float: left;"> <script type="text/javascript">
							           document.write('<A onclick="urchinTracker ('/outgoing/http_digg_com_submit_phase_2_url_');" HREF="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=' + location.href +'&title=WARNING:  Blackwater to take over War On Drugs"><img src="http://digg.com/img/badges/100x20-digg-button.gif"  alt="Digg!" border="0"/></a>');
							</script> </div> </div>

I would appreciate any assistance.

Thank you

Ok, I now see that the problem has to do with vBSEO and tracking of outside links using Google Analytics. I have disabled the tracking of outside links temporarily and the product now shows as expected.

I will need the ability to use vBSEO to track outside links - is this something that can be accommodated in the product? I dont know a thing about JS, but it appears to be a problem with escaping of characters, or that is my best guess.

Thanks

I can confirm that the apostrophe problem still exists in version 1.08. This problem is compounded if you are using vBSEO & Tracking of external links using Google Analytics.

One thing I would like to be able to better understand is how the user digg count is 'supposed' to work. It's hard to tell if it is working correctly as the count does not appear to increase after a digg. Is there a cron setting that should be updated or run?

On a side note. This product should be extremely useful for any forum, however - the documentation is a bit lacking, or did I miss it? I loved the simplicity of no templates edits, etc, however I do think that as the product continues to evolve that an updated readme would be extremely helpful. This thread goes through six different versions with little organization.

It appears that most of the problems folks are having here are mostly related to vBSEO and the apostrophe problem. A two line readme could save hours time for others.

Thank you for this product.

After giving it a day, no update in digg counts.

Does anyone understand how the digg count is supposed to work?

Thanks
