Miscellaneous Hacks - Share Buttons Bar by BOP5 (Facebook Like, Twitter, Google+1, and more share options)

This is the VB 3.8 version of my very popular "More Share Options" for VB4.

Since VB4 already had Facebook built in the mod was called "More Share Options." But since VB 3.8 (and earlier) do not have any share options built in the mod is called "Share Buttons Bar." but they do very much the same thing.

This mod will automatically add a bar to your navbar with many popular dedicated share buttons available including:

• Facebook (Like/Recommend/Send)
• Twitter Tweet
• Digg
• Google +1
• Linked In
• Stumble Upon
• Add This (which contains hundreds of more sites!)

There are no other mods available on vBulletin.org with as many share options, nor a simple install-able product with no manual edits needed in most cases.

In the event you want to make manual template edits instructions are included on how to do so.

I am using this mod on my forum, http://www.juot.net/forums/ but only in threads and I have manually included it in my SHOWTHREAD template only. For a better idea of what this mod really looks like see the screenshot.

This mod will allow you to share any page of your forum including forumhome, forumdisplay, threads, social groups, calendars, albums, pictures, arcade games, blogs- any page that has the navbar on it can be shared. In this respect it is actually far more useful than my 4.x version.

All Share Buttons are set to load JavaScript Asynchronously so it will never slow down a page load!

Do you have VBSEO installed? A link to your forum?

There is a known issue with the twitter counter not working on VB 4.x but it usually works on 3.x. Sometimes it doesn't update right away.

Yep - in my sig.

This is the 3.x forum. Is there a known issue with 3.x?

There is with VBSEO installed.

In the mod settings try turning Force Standard URL? to "No" and see if it helps.

Yeah, I already had that set to no.

No worries; I'll just turn of the Twitter count.

Hi, I'm having trouble getting this mod working. Iv'e installed it as per the instructions and activated it through Admin CP>options but can't see anything anywhere. I'm running VBSEO and have tried both settings to Forced Standard URL on/off. Any ideas?

If I have to paste $more_share_options into a template please let me know which one and where about to paste the code. I'm clueless about template modification or php. Ideally I would like this to appear in every thread as well as the main navbar.
Thanks,
D

Hello,

If nothing is showing it is likely you need to make the manual template edit.

I recommend putting it in your navbar template.

Find the code:

<!-- / nav buttons bar -->

And put this right after it:

$more_share_options

If you can't find the code <!-- / nav buttons bar --> in your navbar template you must have a custom style. I would suggest putting $more_share_options at the very bottom of the template in that case and moving it around as needed, by trial and error if necessary.

Thank you for creating this mod. It's just what I need and it works perfectly.

Would it be possible to add the below Google Search code into the template.

<style type="text/css">
@import url(http://www.google.com/cse/api/branding.css);
</style>
<div class="cse-branding-right" style="background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#000000">
  <div class="cse-branding-form">
    <form action="http://www.yourdomain.com" id="cse-search-box">
      <div>
        <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-4437065443706544370654437065" />
        <input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:9" />
        <input type="hidden" name="ie" value="ISO-8859-1" />
        <input type="text" name="q" size="45" />
        <input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" />
      </div>
    </form>
  </div>
  <div class="cse-branding-logo">
    <img src="http://www.google.com/images/poweredby_transparent/poweredby_FFFFFF.gif" alt="Google" />
  </div>
  <div class="cse-branding-text">
    Custom Search
  </div>
</div>

I can't get it to line up with the rest of the icons. Any tip?.

You would add the code to the more_share_options template.

Put it between or after any of the existing blocks... each block start and ends with a comment such as:

<!-- Google+1 END -->
<!-- StumbleUpon START -->

Put all of your code between <td> </td> tags, so...

<td>
<style type="text/css">
@import url(http://www.google.com/cse/api/branding.css);
</style>
<div class="cse-branding-right" style="background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#000000">
  <div class="cse-branding-form">
    <form action="http://www.yourdomain.com" id="cse-search-box">
      <div>
        <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-4437065443706544370654437065" />
        <input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:9" />
        <input type="hidden" name="ie" value="ISO-8859-1" />
        <input type="text" name="q" size="45" />
        <input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" />
      </div>
    </form>
  </div>
  <div class="cse-branding-logo">
    <img src="http://www.google.com/images/poweredby_transparent/poweredby_FFFFFF.gif" alt="Google" />
  </div>
  <div class="cse-branding-text">
    Custom Search
  </div>
</div>
</td>

You may need to manually enter a width or alignment setting for the <td> tag.
