Miscellaneous Hacks - More Share Options TNG by BOP5 (Facebook, Twitter, Google +1, AddThis) Share Buttons

Brought to you by BirdOPrey5
www.Qapla.com

Current Version: 3.2

More Share Options The Next Generation (v 3.0) is a complete rewrite of my "More Share Options" mod. If you are looking for the old version I am keeping it attached (More Share Options for VB4 by BOP5v261.zip) but it will no longer be updated or supported.

The purpose of the mod is to add additional share "buttons" (Besides Facebook Like) to vBulletin.

Demo: Practically every page of Qapla.com has the "Gold" version enabled.

There is GOLD Version with additional features available at:
http://www.qapla.com/mods/showthread...4-by-BOP5-GOLD

The FREE Version allows sharing to the following sites:

• Facebook (Like OR Recommend with Send Button Option, and with old style "Share" option, Dark Option, Show Faces Option)
• Twitter (Specify "Via" Username, Related Account, default hash tags, and language- With or without counts)
• Google +1 (With or without count, option to use built in Facebook language or specify custom language)
• Add This (Option to input publisher ID for analytics tracking, enable/disable printing, disable duplicate sites option)

The FREE Version also has the following Style Vars for basic styling:

• Height of Share Bar (in Pixels)
• Padding
• Margins

The GOLD Version has all of the above PLUS the following additional share options:

• Pinterest (With or without count, option to specify pinned image, better Pin It sharing button in Beta available for testing)
• Digg (With count or icon only)
• Linked In (With or without count)
• StumbleUpon (Several options with/without counts)
• Reddit (Several options with/without "points")
• Custom Buttons (Add as many additional custom buttons as you want!)

The GOLD Version also has additional Style Vars for complete control of Share Bar Styling:

• Background
• Border

(Both FREE and GOLD can be completely customized by CSS as well if you prefer not to use Style Vars.)

Some of the major differences between More Share Options TNG and the Original Version:

• Share Buttons now show on ALL pages, including pages by 3rd party applications like Arcades and Media Galleries.
• Twitter Count Now WORKS
• Table-less design (All formatting done via CSS/Style Vars)
• Additional built-in Facebook and Twitter options
• New options to disable by Usergroup and/or THIS_SCRIPT value (as well as by Forum and by Style)
• Pinterest Now Integrated (Gold version only)

As with the prior version, fast loading Asynchronous JavaScript is used everywhere possible.

IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE!

If you are "upgrading" from an old version (any version less than 3.0) be aware this version (TNG) has been coded as a completely new and separate mod. It will NOT upgrade an old version.

I suggest if you run an old version of "More Share Options" you disable it via Product Manager in Admin CP.

Install and configure this new mod and make sure it works and you like it.

If you do like it then you can uninstall the old mod from Product Manager.

IMPORTANT - Some users have reported the new mod will not run until the old mod is uninstalled. If you have installed 3.0 and it is not running, please try uninstalling the old mod first.

VBSEO Compatibility:

UPDATE: It has been reported working with VBSEO!

Basically I have no idea how compatible this may be with VBSEO as I don't have access to a VBSEO enabled forum. If you use VBSEO be sure it works as designed (you can share pages.)

Test share 3 pages: The Forum Home, a Thread (showthread), and a Forum (forumdisplay) - if all 3 shares work I am confident the mod will work completely for you. I suggest you use Twitter or Facebook for your testing.

If you do run into VBSEO issues please post here and I will do my best to fix.

General Compatibility:
This has been tested as far back a VB 4.0.8 and as recent as VB 4.2.0. It is expected to work on all VB 4.x.x versions however if you have a very old version of VB please try the FREE version before purchasing the Gold to ensure compatibility. This is not compatible with VB 3.x.

As of version 3.2.0 there is a recommended manual file edit for those running VB 4.1.9 or below.

Please Mark as Installed if you use this.

To be clear the New (TNG) Version is: More Share Options TNG FREE (v 3.2) by BOP5.zip

Edit the template more_share_options

find the line:

e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';

And change "en_US" to whatever the code is for spanish, I don't know what it is off-hand. You can find it probably from Facebook itself: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/.../plugins/like/

Hi BOP5

i?ve changed

___________
<vb:if condition="$vboptions['bop5more_fbtype'] == 99">
<td>
<div align="center" width="280" style="float:left;">
<iframe id="fb_likeframe" src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php&href={vb:raw bophrefen}&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=fals e&amp;width=260&amp;action=like&amp;font=tahoma&am p;colorscheme={vb:raw boplord}&amp;height=27" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" locale=es_ES allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
</td>
</vb:if>
__________


and:

e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/es_ES/all.js';

but is still in English




what would be the error?

thanks!

^ That is not the line I said to change. Read the instructions I gave again.

Find the line:

e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';

I have a custom template and unable to get this working. Is there manual edits i need to make or what do i need to look for ?

[BirdOPrey5]

Instructions for the manual template edits are included in the zip file, the filename is: Manual Template Edits.txt.

If it's not working on threads, blogs, and/or CMS articles you must make sure the built in Facebook button is working first before you attempt to use this mod. You must enable these in the built-in Facebook Options.

on forumhome i see the buttons.
but on threads nothing is showing.

Do you have Facebook Like Button enabled in Admin CP -> Options -> Facebook Options?

Before this mod is active you need to have the built in Facebook Like button working on your pages.

Hiya have installed this and managed to get it working but when i activate it right hand justified and left the standarf facebook like button has dissappeared

[Dene2]

managed to fix it the only like button that would work for some reason was the old and the legacy one

Is there any way to make this work for Twitter with short urls like bitly? This mod works fine, but when you tweet a thread it uses a url like this:
http://www.listisimo.es/showthread.php?t=11464
In contrast, the same thread tweeted through Addthis uses this url: http://bit.ly/rphrQZ
With twitter, short urls are very important for retweeting etc, as you don't have my characters to play with.
Any ideas?

If you notice once you actually tweet the URL is replaced with a short one... At least it is for me.

But to answer your question, no, I have no way of making it work with anything else- this is what Twitter has built in.
