Show Thread Enhancements - Digg Display & Digg Count

Get your users to Digg more threads with this simple modification. It's more visible and will promote more Diggs.

What this does differently from the stock Bookmarks is put the Digg button on top of the post in a nice little box and displays how many diggs the post has gotten. This uses javascript provided by Digg. The background color can also be defined.

Update: Fixed the javascript so it will now show the thread title if it has special characters in it.

In SHOWTHREAD find:

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

Add this just above: (be sure to add your forum URL so it Digg can grab the title, you may optionally remove that line if you have an SEO mod installed but the title will have to be submitted manually)

<!-- Digg -->
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="digg" nowrap="nowrap">
<script type="text/javascript">
digg_url = 'SITE URL/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]';
digg_title = "$threadinfo[title]";
digg_skin = 'compact';
digg_window = 'new';
</script>
<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</td>
<!-- / Digg -->

Please click install if you use this.

Is there anyway to fix this? Thanks.

Weird mine is dark grey?

I've added this to my forum and it does work however the forum post page now takes about 10 seconds to load when it was only about 1 second before adding this.

is there any way to improve this?

I did the same thing...

Is this mod supported at all now as I was hoping I would receive a reply regarding if its possibly to speed up the thread appearing,.

[cynthetiq]

I'm not sure how someone would support this as looking at the code it is no different than the widget you can put in your blog/myspace/facebook. In other words, I think that it is a process of how the digg code works and not how the mod works.

I settled my needs by creating a digg bbcode that I use by placing the URL into a redited button.

name: digg
bbcode tag: digg
[digg]http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/hall-fame/911-mass-media-mind-control-16.html#post2495425[/digg]
replacement code:

<script>
digg_url = '{param}';
digg_window = 'new';
</script>
<script src="http://digg.com/api/diggthis.js"></script>

no for all selections

this spead up my showthread response and only slowed down the ones where the digg code was embeded.

Is there a way to change the font color?

Is there a way to get this to work with tfSEO?

[masterweb]

Installed and working, thanks :up:

Any way to get this to work with vblogetin? This is what I have been able to do so far:

<!-- Digg -->
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="digg" nowrap="nowrap">
<script type="text/javascript">
digg_url = '$entry[url]';
digg_title = "$entry[title]";
digg_skin = 'compact';
digg_window = 'new';
</script>
<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</td>
<!-- / Digg -->

but the urls are coming out:
http://gridironfans.com/forums/blogs...521&;entry=420

instead of:
http://gridironfans.com/forums/blogs...=521&entry=420

It seems to be throwing a ";" between the user id and entry id.

Hmmm....seems like I am having issues with Digg...
