Show Thread Enhancements - Addthis Bookmark Integration

Loved the addition of bookmarks in vbulletin but hated the way they were placed at the bottom of the thread, each time I read a thread I immediately found myself scrolling to the top again. I tried moving the bookmarks to the top but didn't like the way they looked.

I came across http://www.addthis.com which allows you to add a handy piece of code to your website that allows you to bookmark a thread to any of the large bookmark sites, 34 different site's in total with out any mess or cluttering up the postbit area with tons of images. Plus addthis.com track all clicks and pages that have been submitted from your site.

AddThis is already on hundreds of thousands of websites including TIME Magazine, Oracle, TechCrunch, Freewebs, Entertainment Weekly, Topix, Lonely Planet, MySpace, PGA Tour, Tower Records, Squidoo, Zappos, FOX, ABC, CBS just to name a few and could be on your vbulletin forum within minutes!!

Demo click here then a thread to view demo


Quick and easy installation:
register an account at http://www.addthis.com and log in, once logged in click Get your button code! and scroll down to and choose from a number of different buttons and get your code.

in SHOWTHREAD
find:

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

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="addthis" nowrap="nowrap">

Damn simple, thanks. Also you can use the advanced code for even more customization.

<!-- ADDTHIS BUTTON BEGIN -->
<script type="text/javascript">
addthis_pub             = 'YOUR-ACCOUNT-ID'; 
addthis_logo            = 'http://www.addthis.com/images/yourlogo.png';
addthis_logo_background = 'EFEFFF';
addthis_logo_color      = '666699';
addthis_brand           = 'Your Site';
addthis_options         = 'favorites, email, digg, delicious, myspace, facebook, google, live, more';
</script>
<a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', '[URL]', '[TITLE]')" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button1-share.gif" width="125" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a>

Had the button installed since last year.

Good mod you have here, but don't need it since we already had it.

I don't understand why anyone doesn't use the Addthis button, it does keep things less cluttered.

We put it on every post rather than every thread though, so people could highlight specific comments if they wanted.
