Show Thread Enhancements - Submit to Twitter and Facebook

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:

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

Add this ABOVE:

			<!-- 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 -->

Loving it.

Is there an option/chance to have something like this for Articles in CMS?

[vivamexico55]

Is this still supported on 4.01?

I'd like to try it but I'm afraid it will break with one of the frequent vb4 patches...

[ericgtr]

Yes, it still works just fine. It's simply a template addition and hasn't broken anything that I am aware of yet.

Thank you very much! Works perfectly!
