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.

Has ^^ this suggestion been added yet?

Is there any way to open in a new window ?

I'd also like this feature.

I havent tried tried this version yet, but looks like the problem still exists.

And here's the link to the thread that is not getting a "digg this thread" button (but the others are):

I also get this error - but only on some threads. When the error appears, no Digg button is displayed. If the page (thread) loads without an error, I get the digg button displayed.

I would conclude from this that there is an error processing the code to display the digg button.

This occurs even with the default vBulletin style.

Is it possible to have the digg button displayed on the news module of vbadvanced? I would like it to appear next to the reply and/or sendtofriend button.

The error is

Expected: ')'

This is the line generating the error (from View Source):

document.write('<A HREF="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=' + location.href +'&title=Deadly twist at the chiropractor's office"><img src="./images/100x20-digg-button.gif" width="100" height="20" alt="Digg!" border="0"/></a>');

and as you can see the title= part contains an apostrophe:

'&title=Deadly twist at the chiropractor's office

I don't know if this is characteristic of other threads that don't display the button but this should be handled with a "replace" to add a \ before the apostrophe. It's basically a parsing problem.

Alternatively, leave out the thread title from the URL but have the URL open in a new window so that the individual can cut-and-paste into the Digg window from the forum. I would actually prefer this solution for several reasons.

Good find! :up: That's where the error is occurring for me - on my threads where there's an apostrophe in the title (as in "FP's beginner's guide...").

wrong mod... this hack has nothing to do with a wrap.

I have installed and it seems to be working fine. Very easy install. My question is that the "digg this story" button does not show up on my GARS threads. Is there a fix for this?

[Coders Shack]

did you try using the custom replacement:

<!-- diggTopic_diggit -->

place that where you want it to show up in your template.

[TheMilkCarton]

Is it possible to add an "Include" list in addition to the "Exclude" list? I only want this on a few forums and that means typing out a huge list of forums to Exclude.

I thought maybe I could just wrap a conditional around the <!-- diggTopic_diggit --> code in the postbit, but I haven't tried that and I'm not positive it would work.

[skepticality]

Very cool!
