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 am wondering about this too

I thought it should change, but I don't see it.

Also something a bit weird going on

I dugg this story - just trying out the system: http://www.nettrafficchat.com/showthread.php?t=2839

and when you go to digg and click on the link to go back to my site (from digg) - it's the same link, but it's going to a blank page??? Pretty strange!

Any ideas? Oh, and yeah, I am a bit of a noobie so please be kind

The apostrophe bug hits you whether it's in the title or description. Actually, anywhere in the digg xml data that gets returned. However, I have a fix for that.

Go to your AdminCP --> Plugins Manager
Find the "diggTopic - Autoadd" plugin and Edit it
Find the following code:

$digg_url = preg_match_between(' href="','" ', $digg_xml);

Add the following code below it:

$digg_url = addslashes($digg_url);

Finally, Save your changes.

This will escape unsafe characters for the database update. I don't know if there are other similar errors from the other plugins, but I imagine the fix would be similar. This fixed my digg referral links (links referred to my site from digg.com were generating SQL errors) caused by an apostrophe in the subject line of my digg submission. Your mileage may vary.

Perhaps the author will include this fix in the next update? *hint hint*

This is buggy.
The digg isnt enabled for threads made in forums that was created after installing the plugin.

Does this plugin work properly yet? If not, what's needed to fix it?

Thanks mate installed working gr8

[nick!]

Works well with 3.6.8 - Thanks for the plugin, I think its a very good mod, and will work great with vbseo - btw, I recommend that mod to all, its not free but well worth it.

AND...LoL @ Installation Time: [error] number too small

[nick!]

1 last thing, what is the most efficient way to make this mod really get more traffic in the long run. I don't want to keep submitting tons and tons of links to digg myself, is it better if other digg members do it for me in the forums over time? Thankyou. My board were down for awhile and not alot of active members...
