Submit to Twitter and Facebook · **Released**: 11-21-2009

This is an update to vB4.0 Beta 3 of my Submit to Twitter and FB mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=217117

See screenshot for example of where it goes and how it looks. Keeping up with the latest in social networking keeps traffic flowing to your site.

This can all be added at once or you may add only the one's you want. Additionally, this will probably work in any version of vB. At the moment it cannot be turned off for specific forums, I still have to work out the conditional changes for vb4 so it will appear in all forums for now.

In the SHOWTHREAD template find:

Code:

<li class="popupmenu nohovermenu" id="threadtools">

Add this ABOVE:

Code:

			<!-- Begin Share FB -->
			<li class="popupmenu nohovermenu" id="sharefb">
				<h6><a class="popupctrl" href="javascript://">Share</a></h6>
				<ul class="popupbody popuphover">
					<!-- Facebook Share -->
          <li>
          <a name="fb_share" type="icon_link" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Facebook</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script>
          </li>
          <!-- / Facebook Share -->
					<li>
          <!-- Twitter Share -->
          <script type="text/javascript">
          var twtTitle  = document.title;
          var twtUrl    = location.href;
          var maxLength = 140 - (twtUrl.length + 1);
          if (twtTitle.length > maxLength) {
          twtTitle = twtTitle.substr(0, (maxLength - 3))+'...';
          }
          var twtLink = 'http://twitter.com/home?status='+encodeURIComponent(twtTitle + ' ' + twtUrl);
          document.write('<a href="'+twtLink+'" target="_blank"'+'>Tweet This!<'+'/a>');
          </script>
          <!-- / Twitter Share -->
          </li>
				</ul>
			</li>
      <!-- End Share FB -->

Great MOD - 1 question though. After I did a test and shared on FB it showed the number 1 on the thread near the FB icon but later when I went back to the thread it did not show any number at all but instead it re-appeared when i clicked on the FB Link

Interesting, did it still submit normally? I'm not sure why it would do that but as long as it submits I think it will be okay.

Nice mod.

Is there any option to include short urls in twitter submit? (I mean bit.ly, tynurl, etc.).

Thanks.

By default it automatically shortens them on twitter.

Doesn't work for me. It shows only the large and complete urls.

Not sure why that is, I have this installed on several sites and many others have it working on their sites as well.
