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.

Please Mark as Installed if you use this.
Donations always appreciated. :up:

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

Here is my 4.1.5 form: http://www.qapla.com/mods/forum.php

The mod is enabled and the Facebook Connect button shows and works just fine.

There is an option in this mod to disable facebook connect- what do you have that set to?

Also need a link to your forum if you need additional help.

vB Version: 4.1.4

I am having an issue showing the share buttons on the threads/posts. I tried doing manual template edits and had no luck.

Also, would it be possible to get these same buttons to show up on the News posts for vBadvanced news posts?

Thanks!

First, thank you for including all the requested information.

Do you have the Facebook Platform enabled in your Facebook Options? (NOT this Mod's options)

If YES, do you also have the option to show the Facebook Like Button in Threads in your Facebook Options set to yes?

Assuming you have an older version of vBulletin 4.x because on newer versions the language is set by vBulletin itself- that is your "Like" button should already have been in Spanish before this was installed.

Edit the template more_share_options

find the line:

e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';

And change "en_US" to whatever the code is for spanish, I don't know what it is off-hand. You can find it probably from Facebook itself: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/.../plugins/like/

Hi
Great mod, thank you.
Thing is, on 4.1.5 CMS the icons get squeezed on certain pages so the Share icon / feature gets hidden.

If I move the Share icon, it does not have any space between it and the icons I put it next to.

Also, the Google button takes up too much space (I have the count this off).

Any chance you could tell me how to fix it?
Cheers

You would have to make edits to the template more_share_options if you want to change the spacing and such. I do not officially support such changes but you are free to try them on your own.

My "official" solution would be to use less share boxes, or use the box-count option on facebook which makes it less wide.

OK, I'll pass and uninstall / unclick mod of the month, there are clear issues beyond adding a nbsp; and the size of the gap near the Google button, but thanks.

Many thanks for this mod. This is what I was looking for. I did run into a little issue. The facebook count seems to be missing intermittently. See the attached screen shot. The site is www.tabletsupportforum.com

The Facebook button doesn't show a count when the count is zero.
