Show Thread Enhancements - Digg Display & Digg Count

Get your users to Digg more threads with this simple modification. It's more visible and will promote more Diggs.

What this does differently from the stock Bookmarks is put the Digg button on top of the post in a nice little box and displays how many diggs the post has gotten. This uses javascript provided by Digg. The background color can also be defined.

Update: Fixed the javascript so it will now show the thread title if it has special characters in it.

In SHOWTHREAD find:

<td class="vbmenu_control" id="threadtools" nowrap="nowrap">

Add this just above: (be sure to add your forum URL so it Digg can grab the title, you may optionally remove that line if you have an SEO mod installed but the title will have to be submitted manually)

<!-- Digg -->
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="digg" nowrap="nowrap">
<script type="text/javascript">
digg_url = 'SITE URL/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]';
digg_title = "$threadinfo[title]";
digg_skin = 'compact';
digg_window = 'new';
</script>
<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</td>
<!-- / Digg -->

Please click install if you use this.

This mod single handedly slowed my Forum down for days before I figured out what it was. The average load time increased for showthread by about 2 seconds. Any reason why?

For now, uninstalled.
