Submission buttons. eg Clesto, Digg, Del icio us.

Submission Buttons.

By Adrian at Dream It.
Inspired by SecondV, from vBulletin version v3.4.5.

What does it do?
This small template modification adds a button to Clesto, Digg and others, when clicked it will take you to the submission pages on the chosen site,

and it will automatically have the URL loaded on the submission form.

A great way to boost your traffic.

Notes:
Thanks to ShackMaster for the Spurl icon. It has being included in the vBsubmission.zip

Installalation

Download the vBsubmission.zip

Extract it.

Upload all the images to /images/buttons/ on your server.

Only using the Digg now
But I have found a probelm and will have to uninstall until fixed.

I've noticed that I have
Zoints SEO and this wont work.

If I disable Zoint SEO then the Digg submission will work fine.
ANy way of fixing this?

With Zoints enabled I get this error when submitting.
Are you sure that's the right address?

This doesn't appear to be a working link - please check the URL and try again.

The url at the top is this.

I swear, this is a great thread!

I found so many sites to link to.

Only difference is I have to modify the postbit!

I'm trying to get a shoutwire link to work using the same methods. I'm supplying the icon for those who want to use this but my code isn't working properly. I just copied and pasted reddit's code and replaced everything with shoutwire. Basically, it doesn't take me to the submissions page. Can anyone modify? Thanks.

PHP Code:

<!-- Shoutwire-->
<a href="http://www.shoutwire.com/submit?url=$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$threadid" target="_blank"><img class="inlineimg"  

src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/shoutwire.gif" alt="Shout it!" border="0" />&nbsp;Shoutwire&nbsp;</a> 


Edit: Please excuse the ignorance. I forgot to place submit after shoutwire's url. One problem though, does anyone on here use shoutwire? Because it asks for a url on step 1 instead of going to step 2 just like a digg submission with the url already in place.

getting broken link on clesto and no image on jeqq? anyone else have this proble how do i fix this?

[mcyates]

my image on jeqq doesn't work also, its mad as the link to the image on the postbit IS CORRECT. So there is no reason why it shouldn't show.

I use Firefox and the image shows up fine - but a user who has Explorer cannot see the same image. I fired up Explorer myself and was amazed to find out they were right - go figure!

I guess that just means one thing then...

[BarryoBrien]

it work on firefox but not ie

Same problem here which is a little weird.

I have to register on those sites to submit my site, what a pain

[KipLarson]

Does this work with 3.52 and vBadvanced? Like will those buttons show up in the news module?

[jawinn]

When I use the Digg button it doesn't populate the URL in Digg. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
