Show Thread Enhancements - Submit to Twitter and Facebook

This is an update to vB4.0 Beta 3 of my Submit to Twitter and FB mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=217117

See screenshot for example of where it goes and how it looks. Keeping up with the latest in social networking keeps traffic flowing to your site.

This can all be added at once or you may add only the one's you want. Additionally, this will probably work in any version of vB. At the moment it cannot be turned off for specific forums, I still have to work out the conditional changes for vb4 so it will appear in all forums for now.

In the SHOWTHREAD template find:

<li class="popupmenu nohovermenu" id="threadtools">

Add this ABOVE:

			<!-- Begin Share FB -->
			<li class="popupmenu nohovermenu" id="sharefb">
				<h6><a class="popupctrl" href="javascript://">Share</a></h6>
				<ul class="popupbody popuphover">
					<!-- Facebook Share -->
          <li>
          <a name="fb_share" type="icon_link" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Facebook</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script>
          </li>
          <!-- / Facebook Share -->
					<li>
          <!-- Twitter Share -->
          <script type="text/javascript">
          var twtTitle  = document.title;
          var twtUrl    = location.href;
          var maxLength = 140 - (twtUrl.length + 1);
          if (twtTitle.length > maxLength) {
          twtTitle = twtTitle.substr(0, (maxLength - 3))+'...';
          }
          var twtLink = 'http://twitter.com/home?status='+encodeURIComponent(twtTitle + ' ' + twtUrl);
          document.write('<a href="'+twtLink+'" target="_blank"'+'>Tweet This!<'+'/a>');
          </script>
          <!-- / Twitter Share -->
          </li>
				</ul>
			</li>
      <!-- End Share FB -->

Thanks for PMing me a link... I tested it out on your site and was able to both Twitter and Facebook one of your posts. Make sure your users are logged into those sites as well, this is functioning as it should on your board though.

if they do not log in it do not go?
my users difficult like to register and to log in..
Thank to you to have seen site and tested your mod ( i've translated share with social networks .. is possible ? )

[dangerin]

Excuse me..
an other question : This mod can be used also in cms or in blog? i do not need for blog but cms really a lot because all mi site work around the cms and for forum the user do not post and i'm trying to connect with more people .
Thanks newly

Mod appeared to work okay, but when trying to submit to facebook all it ever puts is our little blurb about our site, please see image attached. For Twitter it just gives the thread title then a link to the thread, is it supposed to do this or have text in the thread there as well?

Have tried submitting various threads and have re-edited showthread to no avail. Using VB 4.01.

Works like a charm! Thank you

I installed it on 4.01 and it works =)

Buuuut... Right now I think it only shares the first post in the thread?

How can I make it so I can share individual posts out of a thread?

Thanks ! =)

[ahmedipa]

good I will test it thank you very much

Unfortunately it's designed to pull the title and URL from the thread itself so I don't think there's any way to get the code to pull individual posts out of it.

[cloferba]

and what about the url for each post...for example

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....5&postcount=60
