Show Thread Enhancements - Submit threads, blogs, articles to facebook, twitter, myspace and others - addtoany

Just thought I would share a way I found for your members to submit threads to any social networking site like facebook, Twitter, digg...any of them!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To add this code, you will need to edit your "ShowThread" template.


Go to: Admincp>Styles & Templates>Style manager>Edit templates>Show Thread templates>SHOWTHREAD


In the SHOWTHREAD template, Find:

<div id="thread_controls" class="thread_controls">
<div>

And below that, add this code:

<a class="a2a_dd" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save"><img src="http://static.addtoany.com/buttons/share_save_171_16.png" width="171" height="16" border="0" alt="Share/Bookmark"/></a><script type="text/javascript">a2a_show_title=1;a2a_num_services=14;</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.addtoany.com/menu/page.js"></script>

If you would like to customize the button code, go to www.addtoany.com


Anyway, that is it! very simple, light weight and effective! Enjoy!

If you would like to add this to the CMS articles, see post #8 HERE

If you would like to add this to blogs, see post #16 HERE

Is there a way it could link to the thread that you are using the mod for. Meaning if I am in one thread, and I click say "twitter" I noticed it only posts my forums name and a link to the website, but didn't mention nothing about the thread.

where did you put the button? In the location in the instructions it will paste in the name of the thread. If it is in a different location it may not

I found the issue. I was using a custom code from the site that uses the mod. I used your mod, and now it works.

Brillant - so easy to install on my vb4.02 test site.

Tested it to twitter & facebook with a thread headed 'Please ignore - test only' and not only did it work, but needless to say dozens of people clicked on the link - lol.

Thanks very much for this.

{vb:raw bookmarksites}

add the code DIRECTLY before that (after <p class="bookmarks">)

One thing to note, this will only display in that location if bookmarks are turned ON in the admin cp settings. If bookmarks are turned on I think it looks best there

Thanks for this!
Installed and it looks great!

Question:
Where do I turn on the bookmarks in vB?
I searched, yet can't find it.

Thanks for the work! Much appreciated

In the admin CP, along the left side menu, click on the one called settings to expand it. one of the sub menus is "social Bookmarking manager"

[is_it_me]

Is there anyway this could be used for events listed in the calendars?

This would be well handy as my site is a local community what's on site.

Thanks in advance for any help.

instead of show Share/Save i want to show "SHARE THIS POST"

Instructions to translate this button are the next:

Email: "E-Mail",
Bookmark: "Lesezeichen",
ShowAll: "Alle anzeigen",

};

what language do you want?

[TrailRecon]

I appologize, I can not wait any longer for a response...I will be back later.

I think this will give you the idea about how to manually do the language

<a class="a2a_dd" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save">
    <img src="http://static.addtoany.com/buttons/share_save_171_16.png" border="0" alt="Share"/>
</a>

<script type="text/javascript">
a2a_config = {
   
    num_services: 10,
    show_title: 1
};

// de
// German / Deutsch
a2a_config.localize = {
   Share: "Teilen",
   Save: "Sichern",
   Subscribe: "Abonnieren",
   Email: "E-Mail",
   Bookmark: "Lesezeichen",
   ShowAll: "Alle anzeigen",
   ShowLess: "Weniger anzeigen",
   FindServices: "Finde Dienste",
   FindAnyServiceToAddTo: "Finde deinen Bookmarkdienst",
   PoweredBy: "Unterst?tzt von",
   ShareViaEmail: "Teile via E-Mail",
   SubscribeViaEmail: "Abonniere via E-Mail",
   BookmarkInYourBrowser: "Lesezeichen im Browser setzen",
   BookmarkInstructions: "Benutze die Tasten Ctrl+D oder Cmd+D um die Seite zu speichern",
   AddToYourFavorites: "Als Favorit setzen",
   SendFromWebOrProgram: "Sende die Seite von der Website oder einem Programm aus",
   EmailProgram: "E-Mail-Programm"
};

</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.addtoany.com/menu/page.js"></script>

However, there is a MUCH simpler way to change the language, Go to the customize button here:
http://www.addtoany.com/buttons/

You will see a selection for "more options" After clicking that you can choose your language and will not need to fill it out manually.

I have not had a chance to look into changing the text on the button. I do not know that it is possible...but feel free to look. You will l need to read through their FAQ and maybe search the web. you prolly have to host their js or API files locally to do that but you may first want to look into their TOS before doing so.
